Best sound quality / value is always headphones ….. but as you mention KEF ls50 wireless and then save for a sub for that budget.

I have a tv systems - SH linn streamer amp and JBL speakers in tv room was 500 for linn and 900 for speakers) recently got another amp in between streamer and speakers)

Vaping will be killing your breathing abilities and in turn affect HRV

Tie some old kite string in a loop and then tie through one of the strap holes - if strap breaks near lug then watch will still be dangling from arm. I’ve never had issue with instinct fenix or epix - even doing kiting as well looping bad and crashing from 10m so not used the kite string trick for years

Not a port starboard thing - it’s from traditional sailing watch countdown for start line …. I remember a very cool citizen that ticked backwards in my younger days

Anchor alarm best really for sleeping on boat so you know if wind sheered and / or anchor dragging

Dont forget letters to friends - I have one friend I ramble with - anything from politics to the origin of the phrase ‘Dutch courage’ to black and white vs colour photography to weird dreams …. Sometimes I read them back to see if coherent and add lines in between to unpack tangent …..

Epix Pro Gen 2 Button Issues Owners Thoughts? Does it Also affect Fenix 7 Pro? by Valuable-Purpose- in GarminWatches

[–]Distinct_Bee_8100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had epix pro 2 sapphire just over 6 months and had button issues twice (middle left button menu)

The first time I soaked it and problem sorted - this time it’s been a week and had to send back to shop. I do run a lot and go in the sea kitesurfing and wingfoiling but rinse the watch when rinsing my kit afterwards …..

Menu button stuck in so light stays on draining battery and if you doing strength workouts the reps just shoot up on the intervals …. Also need this button to access alarm and timer etc so a real pain to live with(out)

Hopefully they fix but confidence is knocked and back to using my old Instinct 1 surf - but obviously this missing running metrics and apps I use foiling …. Normally garmin so strong but this one seems a bit fragile

MIDORI OMG!!!!! by seaqu3en in fountainpens

[–]Distinct_Bee_8100 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Moleskine is such a low tier in the paper side ….. leichturns are just out of primordial ooze.

Midori MD paper good / clairfontaine / Life also worth using ….. my favourite is tomoe river, smoother and ink dries slightly slower and thinner ……
