gaming on Apple Watch Ultra is fun - Neon Brick breaker

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I'm loving my Apple Watch Ultra! I've always thought of buying an Apple watch. But, didn't like the design. I like what the watch can do. I wasn't into exercising but since I started cycling to work, I find features like the heartbeat sensors and other fitness data useful and fun to know.

Features like making a call and replying to messages are also useful if you're working and don't want to take out your phone all the time. There are already many good sports watches like Garmin. But, I definitely prefer the Apple Watch Ultra.

I bought a Magene c406 bike computer and other sensors but now having the Apple Watch Ultra is much more hassle-less. I also prefer using the Apple Watch outdoor cycling app instead of Strava. I can scroll through the data on the watch or my iPhone 13 later.

The Strava app definitely has more features but you'll have to pay for them. Unless you're a pro athlete and can afford the monthly payment. I'm sticking with the Apple Watch app and loving the 'medals' achieved for every step I take while working.

The Apple Watch ultra crown is much bigger than the Apple Watch series. It's supposed to help those ultra-athletes when they're wearing gloves. Much easier to use as a game controller too. It's actually fun to play games on the Apple Watch.

There are many good mini quick-fix games available for the Apple watch. I used to hate mobile games because they don't have controller support. Read back some of my old blog posts. With the Apple watch though, I don't actually mind. In fact, I'm loving it!

My favorite games are FPS and RPG. But, I also like simple games like pinball and brick breaker. I also like retro games. It'll definitely be way cool to be able to play my favorite retro brick breaker game Doh! on my Ultra watch. I'll love, some Zen pinball on my watch too.

The challenge is of course how to control the games. I haven't tried it yet to connect my xbox or any Bluetooth controller to the watch. Next, is to have games that have controller support. Voila! Put your watch on a stand with a charger and the game is on!

There is a potential market for Apple or Android watch games for game dev. Especially, for indie game dev. I don't see any big companies creating quick-fix games for Apple Watch. Not sure for an Android watch though. 

FFS! Don't just create a game for the watch just for the sake of money. Because it's a watch, there's potential for interesting games for the Apple watch, using the crown as a controller. Of course, there's touch control. Hopefully, the game has controller support too. Why not!?

Apple Watch Series 6 (GPS + Cellular, 44mm) - Space Gray Aluminum Case with Black Sport Band (Renewed)

I'm willing to pay $0.99-$2 for each game. With all the bells and whistles, literally. I hate games that don't have sound effects. Where's the fun? Admittedly, not everyone is rich enough to buy an Apple Watch (renewed is cheaper) Series or Ultra just to play some quick-fix game. 

You have to remember that you're not just buying a watch. You're basically paying for a mini-computer or a mini iPhone. It's not as powerful or the same. Soon, everyone just needs a watch to video call, social media, work, listen to music, gaming, and much more!

Nikon Coolpix P950 Night Camera sample pictures at Bedok Reservoir Park


Nikon COOLPIX P950

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I had planned to go to a reservoir park after work to try to get some sunset pictures either with my iPhone, Samsung S22+, or my Nikon Coolpix P950 camera. I was hoping to finally use the magene cadence, speed, and heart rate sensor but having a problem re-connecting them.

I also had a problem putting the speed sensor on my Raleigh mountain bike's rear wheel. That damn rubber and the spoke blocking my hands. I was in a hurry trying to get everything ready but end up not using them except for the heart rate sensor which I thought was working.

I only realize when I reached home later that the heart rate sensor disconnected leaving me frustrated with no data of any kind. Even my magene c406 bike computer keep pausing and not recording. I had to manually re-press the record button while cycling.

It's kinda weird that it records correctly the route that I took but the data is all wrong. I didn't have the proper speed or cadence. I'm wondering if it's because I connected my speed and cadence sensor but I didn't put it on the bike. That's why it's all wrong.

I need to do a proper test of the bike computer and the sensors to see how it really works. I was in a hurry yesterday because I'm only able to go cycling after work and thought, I have prepared everything earlier. Also, I've only just received my magene heart rate sensor.

Well, I went ahead and did a quick check, re-setup of my HR aka heart rate sensor, and this time I bind it to the bike computer. I also edit and customized its first page to show my latest heart bpm. I think yesterday, I didn't bind it to the bike computer that's why it doesn't work properly.

I thought, I just need to connect it to the iPhone app and it'll all work out. Such a waste. Yesterday's ride was a little tough with a lot of little slopes. It'll be interesting to have a read of my maximum bpm. Guess, I can do a proper sensor test next Sat or Sunday.

I'm not a health freak but I'm beginning to have fun using all these sensors to see how I'm doing. Of course, my data won't be as good as the young and pro athletes but still knowing how you level up with them is interesting, to say the least.

I'm even feeling muscle growth in my legs. But, I really need to do more exercise for my bloody tummy. It seems to get bigger and wider no matter what I do. Anyway, yesterday I learn a new cycling route. I won't need to see Google Maps reach there again.

By the way, check out some of these pics taken with my Nikon Coolpix P950. You can use it for night photography, but you'll need to save it in raw and edit it later. I was lazy so I just use jpeg. But, later I edit the brightness and contrast to make it as bright and sharp as my iPhone.

The two pictures above were taken with my iPhone 13 camera. It's actually way better than my Nikon Coolpix p950. Which isn't as bright and clear as this. The iPhone camera definitely has a better processor but the p950 has good long-range zoom capabilities.

I love cycling and I also love taking pictures of places I visit. I don't just bring my P950 but my GoPro Hero 10 and of course my phones. Each of them suits certain situations of how I want to go about taking pictures and videos. Subscribe to my blog and youtube channel to join my latest adventures!

my new magene c406 gps bike computer speed cadence sensors and accessories

Magene C406 Bike Computer with Holder, Waterproof GPS Cycling Computer, Wireless Smart Road Bicycle Monitor, 2.5 Inch LCD Screen

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I finally got myself a better bike computer for my Java Veloce road bike. Not saying that my 'old' cheap speedometer isn't good. But, the magene c406 offers more data than I ever wish for. You can watch the #shorts video of my cheap speedometer here.

Yes. After thinking of going for the Xoss G+ bike computer, I decided to instead go for the Magene C406. I watched a youtube video where the guy compared both of them and I thought the bigger screen and ability to see more data analytics would be better (for me).

I might not be a pro cyclist but I like the idea of being able to see more data on screen and later on analytics of my performances. I'm also not saying the C406 is better than the Xoss G+. It's a personal preference. Some might prefer the smaller size Xoss. 

In the beginning, all I wanted to know was how fast I was going or able to go on my bike. That's why I bought the cheaper type. After a while of cycling, I'm now interested to know more about my cycling ability. One thing, I know now is that I can go the distance.

I think cycling every day to work actually helps me maintain my leg strength and stamina. Although, it's just a short distance. Because of the difference in gradients, going to work takes a little more work than going home. I didn't know it at first though.

I was a little afraid at first to go further and didn't want to end up poops out in the middle of nowhere. I waited until there was a long weekend holiday to try it out. Surprisingly, I managed to go way over 100km and didn't even feel that tired.

As I've said, I'm not a professional cyclist, and joining the competition. Pretty much doing it for leisure. I also have a slipped disc and bad knees. I'm also not that young. I'm not planning to go all out and hurt myself while cycling. There have been too many bike accidents lately involving old gen cyclists.

If I hurt myself, I'm not going to have any kind of medical support unlike the pros do. I don't think in my old age, I could heal better or much faster. Just a reminder to myself and those old gen cyclists. I heard one of my old ex-colleague was involved in a cycling accident and bed-ridden in hospital. 



Magene P325CS Crankset with Rechargeable Power Meter for Cycling, Dual Side Crank Based Bike Power Meter Power Sensor

I decided to go for the Magene C406 packaged with two sensors. One for speed and the other one for cadence. I didn't know anything about the power meters until I saw the Magene P325CS crankset with a rechargeable power meter.

You can still know your average power on the C406 screen. You can choose between 3 screen setups. I'm not sure how you can change it but at the moment, I just use the right button to switch between them. I prefer one with the time but it doesn't show other data that I wanted at a glance.

Check out my new Magene C406 road bike computer pics below:






I've only downloaded the apps Onelap and link with Strava. Link and bind the sensors etc. You should definitely read and follow the simple instructions included. I did one funny thing putting on the casing the back to front. No wonder the button was on the wrong side. Silly me.

Can't wait to try the bike computer with the two sensors!
