What cool shit have you bought lately?

I think a nice part of being in our 30s is we can afford to buy cool fun things. What have you bought lately?

I got a Garmin Forerunner 965 which is super tight, motivates me to limit my drinking and I’ve been killing cardio because of it

Also fun - bought a LAB putter which is a ton of fun

Switching from Apple Watch to Garmin — is it really worth it?

Hey everyone, I’ve been thinking about this for months and wanted to hear some real opinions from people who’ve actually made the jump from an Apple Watch to a Garmin (especially the Forerunner or Fenix series).

I currently use an Apple Watch Series 10, and honestly, I’m really happy with it. The G

Which model is better? Suunto Race 2 or Forerunner 970? Functions and design

It really comes down to what you want out of the watch. Garmin is very data-driven, especially something like the Forerunner 965. You get a ton of metrics, guidance, and features that try to tell you how to train and optimize performance. Suunto, on the other hand, is much more of a pure sports and

COROS PACE 4 black crystal or Garmin 265s

If budget is not an issue, then choose Garmin. It has better build quality. It has everything you need in a running watch and then some. My previous watch was the Forerunner 965. I’m now using a Pace 4. It’s more running focused and a little bit simpler. I didn’t need all the bells and whistles. I d

What’s your “It is nice but it can wait” item on your cart or planned purchase?

Mine is a Garmin Forerunner 965. I have a 6-year old 935 that’s working perfectly but I have been eyeing to get a new one for better health and performance tracking. It’s nice but I might just wait for the 975. What’s yours and when do you plan to buy it?

What is your advice for first timers?

I’m 41M and placed second recently for my second half marathon. Here is my advice: Get the right shoes for your foot. The wrong pair can really hurt. Have a daily runner for comfort and a light weight shoe for speed or days you want to push a bit faster. Clean up your diet and avoid greasy foods and

Just bought an Instinct 2x Tactical in Japan, pretty sweet watch!

I was contemplating on whether I should splurge for an Enduro or maybe get a forerunner 965 or AWU2, but considering that I wanted as long of a battery life as possible, and something robust enough that lasts a long time, I ended up buying I2x Black Tactical version here in Japan for about 61k Yen (
