Standard for all Garmins unfortunately, but it does seem to get better with time.
That said, I had a full night’s sleep, my HR was the lowest I’ve recorded in months and my HRV was precisely where it should be but, because I had to get up in the middle of the night, I’ve apparently had an awful sleep.
It’s still worth keeping the watch on overnight as it helps to feed other metrics, but certainly other brands work better for sleep tracking. Where Garmin comes into their own is on workout metrics, particularly for running (which is what the Forerunner series was specifically designed for).
I started to watch some of his stuff during lock down. Some of it is quite interesting (history of WW2 and older weapons, and he did a few pieces on urban combat. I don’t bother with a lot of the other stuff.
I guess he picked the A1 because he could get hold of it and to prove a point.
It’s not as clear as it could be (not a good thing considering) but yes you are right, the action is still titled Forward Assist but the description is ‘tap forward’.
So I suppose it would be ‘perform the Forward Assist’ which you do by ‘tapping forward’ (IIRC it was changing / changed to avoid confusion with the Function Test?).
No, and he doesn’t use the bolt release catch either. In fact, at one point he complains about it not having a bolt release catch where the bolt release catch actually is and keeps using the holding open device or pulling the cocking handle back instead.
