What app were you using for the garmin?
Why you write Fenix 1 Pro on the tablet?
What kind of strap are you using? Thanks in advance
Do you have a new link for this
Hey Rando, since black Friday deals are coming up soon… how do you like the gundeck mini? I’m unsure if I should get the topsider mini or gundeck mini in kangaroo. I already have a finnigan and I’m not sure if I wanna add a horizontal one to my collection
I prefer the topsider mini however in your case might be good to add horizontal wallet. Gundeck mini is nice I do like it, I might try it in Kangaroo though. Kangaroo is very impressive how thin it is.
@ thx for your quick response. Another reason: I don’t wanna cut a brand new wallet that costs me about 100€ including transport and taxes. And it seems like the gundeck doesn’t have the problem that it doesn’t close evenly
@@GwamperterGrantler Thats hard to say since these are made by hand could vary form wallet, but yea I agree though hard to spend so much money and have to fix some issue. my gun deck seemed good. I will probably make a month follow up on the gundeck this weekend.
Good looking bronze watch. Your original video was posted 2 yrs ago. Would you please post a follow up video on how the watch has functioned and how the bronze had patinaed? Thank you.
Hey man, which do you prefer and use more as a daily driver. Your instinct or fenix?
I sold fenix and kept instinct. I got 965 in place of fenix.
The "idle brightness" is not a thing. It is only reflecting the ambient light. The brighter the ambient light, the brighter the watch. And reverse displays (dark background, white numbers) will always be harder to read in low light. Just change to a regular display watchface.
I was incredibly disappointed to realize that the Garmin watches will not sync with Garmin Connect unless you have internet connectivity. So much for using my Instinct when on long back-country trips.
Hyped for more wallet content!
How about the Explorer? It has the scissors AND the newer-style magnifying glass. Though I wish the housing was metal and not plastic.
Hey! I’m going to be releasing a new wallet soon and have some extras made from Chromexcel. It’s a front pocket wallet. Would you be interested in reviewing one? You don’t have to make a video, you can keep it after, but if you think it’s a product worth using then it would be awesome if you did. I literally don’t even have a name for my business yet, but will in about 2 months. Aka by the time you’re ready to review (or not) then I can get you my info.
Im didnthe mod yesterday to my son's casio royale, looks great. Im also going to hydromod my negative screen ga5600b. Just wondering is this wont affect bluetooth and atomic timekeeping reception?
No, the only thing it impacted is the wrist tilt auto light
Love my rangeman but i do habe the opposite problem from you as instead of hitting the sensor u end up hitting fhe button that switches to the ABC functions
Man, those wrist shots look like an aerial view looking down on a football stadium! Big watch.
I'm totally going to do this. Can I ask about the mineral oil? I have food safe mineral oil, like a gallon of it that I use to keep my cutting boards in good shape. Is mineral oil mineral oil? I would think food safe is better because it won't have any additives to make it smell good or feel good on the screen. But can you tell me which one you used? EDIT: Never mind, I saw it's food grade. Thank you for the videos. Looking forward to the 12 month report!
Ya I just used what I had on hand. Silicone oil would probably be better, as more stable will last longer likely.
Secrid still fav. Easiest card removal.
I’m so torn on which of these to buy. I’ve been looking at the fenix 7 pro and the instinct 2 tactical. Because I work in construction I need the durability but also want it for fitness - the heart rate sensor is a bit of a deal breaker but not sure how good it is on the instinct 2 tactical. Any advice is appreciated.
I've owned both and found HRM to be same. If anything the Instinct being lighter doesn't jiggle on wrist as much which leads to better HR accuracy.
the instinct 2x solar is on sale at best buy. ive had one for a year, and it does everything that the fenix does minus the fancy touch display. which will limit your watch faces. but my lord, its amazing i love it.
Thanks for the video. I will now commit to buying a white strap with orange 2 tone for my instinct 2X. The strap I am looking at is the FORZA Elite 26mm Two-Tone Fog Grey/Orange
Nice wallets! Love the color of your Gundeck. How many cards will fit in the mini Topsider? I've been switching between the Finnigan and the Mini Franklin. I like that the mini Topsider has a separate slot. The mini Franklin and the Finnigan don't have that.
If you like touch screen... You have not run your lungs out
Why?
Do you moisturise your wallets?
No. a few of my early wallets i tried to shrink with hot water and drying so after ward i used some leather honey to restore.
I just had my frogman days ago :)
I just got the Topsider Bifold LT in kangaroo a couple weeks ago and I am so very happy with my choice of leather as well.
Ya this is my first kanagroo and impressed with it.
It feel like after a The Franklin, all other wallets pale in comparison.
Franklin has stood the test of the time for me, been great wallet. This topsider just edges it for me.
Got one in part bc of this review. It is so amazing
awesome. you'll enjoy it,
Kangaroo leather is 10 times stronger than cow leather from what other leather makers say about it…….,So it may appear flimsy but it’s not really
Want to thank u alot for this video. I already have a rangeman and have gotten used to the size but when it comes to casually going out its hard to bring it out unless im going on a trip, camping, playing sports or just knowing ill be out and about and might ding it on something . Ive always wanted a nicely sized pro trek that i can wear daily for just dinner, work, dates wirh the wife, playing with my kids. ( they complain about my big old watch on the wrist with the rangeman) etc.. it should be coming in around next week
I am absolutely 100% with u, I'm also a straight up digital only fan. My first g shock as an adult was the casioak and I ended up selling the thing due to how quickly I got fed up with how small the window was for the digital part of it. To me it seems like there cannot exist an equally digital/ analog watch. Just can't do it. You'll sacrifice one for the other and for the optics , analog will always look cooler. But in my opinion a full on EL or LED backlight showing you quickly what the time is, is much better in my opinion. The only analog watches I own are a basic seiko and bulova both with open skeletonized back. But I own about 6 g shocks. And have now purchased this prw 30. Which will be my first pro trek in my collection . Keep it analog or keep it digital ! And for a multifunctional watch I'm going with digital everytime, That's just my opinion though 🤷
Ya for most part I agree its one or other. I love the mudmaster the tiny digi window takes to much effort to read. PRW30 is great watch, i regret getting rid of it.
@RandoRaf what model of mudmaster? And why did u get rid of the prw 30?
I sold it as I have to many and gives me excuse to try something new. GWG2000 but have eyes on the new version to try out.
So i tried this but since the resin changed the thickness of the plastic im having trouble reassembling. Any tips?
you want to try to make it thin like 2-3 pieces of paper thin. Most of mine where tight squeezes to back together as well. after i applied glue/lump mix i'd let sit to settle and and if looked to thick id try to push some off the edge till i got it right, then cure with uv light.
I will have to say this that was a very good review on multi-tool knives you are equal you gave each other their props you didn't favor one to make one look bad. Because you favor the other knife maker more you were equal and gave both their props pluses and minuses well done. A lot of times you see a review and they like to make the other knife look bad because they don't like that knife maker. So therefore they don't want you to buy it and they try to convince you to buy what they like thank you again great review I'm just driving to your channel right now and I'm going to join
Never seen this. This looks so cool! I just got some Lume powder for a different watch I’m hydro modding. But I’m going to have to try this on an F-91W (and hydro mod it 😂
Where can I buy the PRW-30 I can't find it anywhere!
For me Fenix 7pro the best ,new capter
Does this have a backlight feature?
No it doesnt
tbh you'd never catch me buying those things again, they're awful imo.
why??
I was upgrading from the vivoactive 4 to the Instinct 2X and honestly been loving it. The biggest difference was the screen and no longer being touchscreen but my expereince with the VA4 was that I found the touch screen less intuitive during runs because you need to swipe (autoscroll is an option but I don't like it). Knew I had to get a watch with more buttons from then though. The screen too I realised I also RARELY really used it for anything other than showing stats during runs. Even post run it's much easier to sync to your phone and look at data there. The fenix or FR255/955 would cover those use cases too but considering the price you get with the instinct and the style I just went with it. And coming from the VA4 I was comfortable with a metal bezel but these new amoled screens and the flush bezels on those watches put me off. Garmin seems to be going the route of charging crazy prices for screen repairs so I'd rather get a more rugged watch that can take a beating. Torch is also great at night, it's such a silly thing but you do actually use it lol
Thank you for the review. I currently own the instinct 2x tactical. Amazing solar charging and ease of use, however I am considering the Enduro 2, mostly for the metal case back and battery. Do you find that the instinct plastic case back causes any irritation? Otherwise I do like the instinct over the G Shocks.
I"ve never encountered any irritation issues from the garmin watches. I have gotten some irritation from the sensor if wearing to tight.
What watch face are you using?
I like the pro more I think it looks more premium with a much better display and I like the band and color combo. I think the Ranger is really nice too but when you wear something like a G-Shock people think it’s cheap I like that they didn’t do that with Casio even though it’s pretty much the same thing, it’s just little bit of detail. I appreciate makes it more premium in my opinion.
How did you do the lume? What polarizer did you use? That is really cool.
If you search my vids i have few i did on my watches.
why would you put goo gone on a new watch ? goo gone is super harsh on plastic. I’m pretty sure you ruined it.
Hey man , great video. I have a question - how do you track weightlifting? I have found the built-inn feature not so user- friendly . Do you have any tips on how to best track weightlifting sessions ?
Outside of Heart rate its pretty useless for weightlifting. I do use scosche.forearm band or Polar h1 usually and take watch off. I do this mainy for comfort as I find fenix HR pretty close in accuracy. As far tracking the exercises, there is gab in the market for this. The only company that is still around is Beast Sensor. But I just track my HR and hoping to maybe get beast sensor again if comes up on sale. Coros I think does decent job if want watch. Coros you just select muscle group vis fiddling around with trying to find a specific exercise.
Garmins are not really for strength training The gym sport function is basically useless Also if your are doing strength training hrm via wrist will be inaccurate I used a hrm chest strap and my garmin to track my hr and training load and to have a timer
i just bought mine a week ago before that i spent a year with the RTL-SDR dongles and all the great software with that, but i'm loving my sds100
Have you tried the Grain wallet by Taurus Camp in 7 cm? It’s nice I have one in natural shell Cordovan and I have a 8 cm too from him there nice wallets check it out
Please keep in mind that the batteries in Garmin watches cannot be replaced. After about three to five years, your battery will likely need to be replaced. Garmin typically charges around $80 to send you a refurbished watch with a new battery. So, in a few years, you’ll need to replace your Garmin watch anyway, and you won’t be passing it down to your grandkids-so why worry about protecting it?
my main reason is that I like a clean display, dont want to look at scratches. I dont care about rest of the watch gettiing beatup.
Is there a point where the stuff doesn’t fall out of the wallet? I rock five cards and some cash. If the wallet is tipped over it will all fall out. Granted I have had it less than a week. Maybe the leather still need to work in.
