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

Expensive day.

Baby is due at the end of July, we saw this pram in John Lewis yesterday with £250 off so we couldn't say no at that price. It sells for more than what we paid for it second hand. Folds to the size of a carry on suitcase and can be carried easily with a shoulder strap, which is incredible. The basinet detaches and is replaced with a seat which was included, so good all the way to around age 4. Was highly recommended to us by a few friends and after seeing a couple of them in use in Lisbon a few weeks ago we knew we wanted one.

Spotted the Ooni Grizzler plate in JL at the old price too, I've been thinking of getting one for a while.

Technically paid for the Eufy cam a couple months ago when it was released, but only just arrived after many delays.

Also grabbed wooden flooring and underlay for the baby room, but didn't take a pic.

Just a couples of things this week

New 14 pro Max after i smashed my old one
And a 40m Hozellock auto reel to replace the 30m 20 year old reel that now leaking

Just wish i of mounted the auto reel more to the left :(
I mounted it like that because the instructions said it needed 65cm either size of the mount so i mounted it as far to the left as i could without getting in the way of the door

Getting a wall mounted retractable hose was one of those " I should have done this years ago" things.

I been looking at buying one of these for years but the bad reviews i seen on every brand i looked at have always put me off them
Guess i find out now if there really as bad as what many of the reviews say they are

I really wanted only a 30m one but there now the newer compact version and the reviews seen a little worst on them..
But kind of wish i did buy the much smaller compact 30m one as this 40m one really does look huge :(

So my thoughts and impressions on the Garmin.

Look and feel are refreshing, very light and having lots of tactile buttons is a joy. The band is a very stretchy silicone, I prefer it to the firmer silicone on the Apple bands. I did find it a little more uncomfortable on the wrist where the sensor is, I think this is down to the sensor having sharper edges.

Setup was easy and the phone app/metrics are vast, but I get the sense that some of the things they are calculating are non-sense or a guess. Body battery and how long to recover for example.

The biggest disappointment is the software. I should have expected it, but you can tell this is a fitness watch first and anything else is an afterthought. Looking at data on the watch is a long list and clicking into some of them does nothing. Little things like customizing the watch face are clearly not updated to work with a touch screen, having to click up/down buttons to cycle through things. The data tiles on the watch face don't allow you to tap into them.

The menu to control Spotify from my phone is honestly straight up ugly. It's functional sure, but it feels like I'm using some cheap Chinese fitness watch OS there.

During my workout I noticed the HR was a little slow to respond unlike the Apple watch. I found myself after finishing a set looking at a heart rate that didn't reflect my effort, until 10-15s later.
