Let Loose, honest reviews & Garmin Epix Pro | Ep. 59

In this episode, we chat about the recent spate of creators giving honest reviews and the effects that have on the companies behind the products. We chat about the art of making honest product review videos and the benefits of staying in lane for your channel.
Then we look at the benefits of wearables - smart watches & rings and what the Garmin Epix Pro has been like.
Let Loose, the next Apple event has been confirmed so we chat that over and what to expect from the iPad event and finally a little update on AirPods Max.
Don’t forget, if you enjoy our weekly podcast to subscribe, like, and share - and if you listen on Apple Podcasts - to leave us a rating (hopefully a 5-star one!) as well! 🙏🏻

Hope you guys get to do a podcast when Daniel comes over. Perhaps a fans meet-up in London 😂

El Forerunner es complicado . I will look the Apple Watch for a simple activity such as waking.

verdad! (Alex aqui) Garmin no es tan facil de leer/usar

David and Alex, do you look at analytics? I absolutely refuse to look at analytics because that would send me deep into the UA-cam rabbit hole. Mark Ellis Reviews said he took the UA-cam Studio app off his phone and he said he regained his freedom. I'm wondering what do you think?

[@minussixteenpodcast1841]

not gonna lie (Alex here) Analytics was like crack to me until reaching 100K. I deleted UA-cam studio and now only look at it when there's a purpose (e.g. me trying to understand where I can improve, respond to comments, etc) Mark was an inspiration too, in taking that approach!
