In my past it has been if there is an Engineering problem it's too late to fix it or it will cost too much so let the Software Engineers fix it they can make it work so we code around problems and at least make it work till the next version (hate it)

Hardware is always worsened by software.
I always cringe when I see a device that claims to be "powered by Java".

How many Ampere does Java deliver?

Practically nil.
It's a consumer anyway.

I'm more concerned about the time wasted waiting for a DVD or Blu-ray player to boot up, then check for updates, and determine whether or not the licence is valid, then not allow me to press the eject button until it confirms that there's no disc in it...
These sorts of things worked just fine before they became infected with Java.

Think of it as a warning label.

Always check the quality stamp before buying.
It starts with: "Made in..."
|
|
|
|
|
don't be so harsh, you know there are some quality goods out of china,
but out the back door of the same factory are all the below/failed spec "same same, we only change name" versions of the identical product.
(they can do quality, just that their pass yields are still not good.)

You're the one that filled in the dots.
But generally it's a question about getting what you pay for.

Not in my experience.
The Garmin forerunner 310xt for instance, it is a very precise device. I've extensively tested it (my running companion since 2012). The Garmin fenix 5 (far more expensive than the forerunner) might be a cool smartwatch but is a completely failure for thge runner. The distance mesurment error of 5% I experienced (meaning about 2 km in marathon) is inacceptable.

Sounds like you're not having it in gps-mode.
How long does the batteries last?
|
|
|
|
|
Of course the GPS is ON (and 'ready') while I am running. The tracks are actually fairly accurate, but the distance measurment is poor.
The batteries performace is within the specifications as far as I can say (I didn't focus my attention on such an aspect, yet).
|
|
|
|
|
Had to ask.
A guy at a previous job was running in battery save mode for half a year before realizing why the gps was all over the map.
Is i always showing a too large distance by any chance?
|
|
|
|
|
On the contrary, as a matter of fact is (almost) always showing a too small one (making the poor runner breathless in order to keep the pace ).

It is true though, like no other form of engineering IT has too high a nerd content to be done professionally.
