Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics])

I found the box I had slightly underwhelming.

Did you enjoy them?

I haven't touched them yet - I'll report back when I do.

And yes, they're the tiny snack sized ones hence my decision to buy a selection to see which I liked.

A 1 way valve tin to store my beans. Fits 150g of coffee perfectly.

 

[Derek W]

If it's a one way valve and you've put the beans in, how are you going to get them out again?

Knew this would be a bad idea getting into collecting these. Picked up Blastoise and Venusaur and now have the "Big Three" in PSA 8.5.

So glad people are buying CDs again. Also chuffed old school producers aren't releasing stuff on streaming these days, and you can only buy from their website, like Photek.

ive had my epix gen2 (non pro) for a couple of years now. Brilliant watches.

i was really put off smart watches after getting an apple watch as it was absolutely gash. But these garmin watches are leagues ahead in every sense.

Are these static models? Do you build them yourself?

They remind me a lot of the stuff I used to draw as a kid, all sorts of insane robot death machines.

Definitely lucked out on that one!

Mitutoyo is one of those unicorn brands for me, nothing else comes close. I've recently also learned of KTC tools, which is an extremely expensive rabbit hole I'm circling

I couldn't agree with you more, if you want a real fitness tracker/sports watch, smart watches just don't cut the mustard (I'll caveat this with I have no experience of recent smart watches that focus more on sports such as the Samsung Ultra series).

I had really bad experiences trying to get basic sports functionality on WearOS, such as the ability to get a route on the watch I could follow. Sure there were third party apps, but these were unstable, resulting in me losing my bearings during a run in France one time. Garmin on the other hand I can either design a run on their Connect platform, or tell the watch a distance I want to run and in which direction and it'll auto generate a course for me to follow.

yeah exactly. And the fact you couldnt even get 24hrs out of a charge is just laughable.

i get around 2 weeks out of my epix and even that annoys me when i have to charge it
