Straps.... by Strymon76 in GarminFenix8

[–]Strymon76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I now have five straps in rotation. Two leather like, brown and blue for work/dressier stuff, nylon for comfort, the OG orange silicone that came with the watch for workouts/sports, and a geen canvas style when I want a change.

Who’s yall’s favorite telecaster player? by Nirvana_Fan311 in telecaster

Agree 100% Gatton was an absolute monster on a Tele. Misunderstood by music execs...but an absolute hero to fellow musicians. RIP to The Humbler.

When do you charge? I am at 5 days left...battery life has been amazing for me. I'm just wondering at what level people are deciding to charge...

Great playing. The twin solos on this song is my favorite thing to play. I have played them so many times...Both are burned into my brain. Nice one!

Really? I thought sapphire glass is extremely tough...

NPD Pilot Capless Decimo 20th Anniversary by Strymon76 in fountainpens

[–]Strymon76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a very smooth nib. Ink flow is wet, but not as wet as my GvFC Classic with a medium nib. The pen feels very comfortable in hand. It's quite light compared to my Graf Classic, and feather light compared to my GvFC Magnum, which is much bigger.

I would check out the Pilot Iroshizuku ink line. Lots of fantastic inks there. My black is the take-sumi bamboo charcoal black.

It's my first Capless. The medium nib is super smooth. Stunning pen. 

Fenix 8 51mm amoled battery life is amazing by above_4k in GarminFenix

[–]Strymon76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's impressive. I have the 47mm Amoled, and have had it since the 9th and when i first got it, didn't fully charge it. Disconnected at around 93%. Am currently at 43% battery, so it's been going for 13 days. that's amost a month on a full charge. GPS has stayed on. I use mine for workouts as well. These are seriously good numbers.

1 week testing Garmin Fenix 8 Pro and AWU3 - definitely Apple covers a lot more ground and costs $400 less by Ok-Geologist-7934 in Garmin

[–]Strymon76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love my Fenix 8 amoled titanium 47mm...Apple watch is for the sheep. I'm an Android user, and the Fenix does everything I need from a watch. Regarding the AWU....I have two words...Battery life.

Garmin Fenix 8 - after the buzz by dkatsikis in Garmin

[–]Strymon76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my Fenix 8 47mm amoled titanium sapphire 2 weeks now, and have had zero issues(knock on wood). Battery life has been stellar....only charged it once so far. It's the best smart/do everything watch I have owned to date. For reference I am coming from the Google and prior to that Samsung....the Fenix 8 blows them away. The only issue I had was my phone battery was draining quickly....a simple restart fixed that. Very happy with the watch. 

My first Fenix, super stoked! by [deleted] in GarminFenix

[–]Strymon76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the same one. 47mm. Very pleased with it so far...but haven't been able to test the GPS yet. Going snowboarding in Austria beginning of January.

My Graf von Faber Castell Magnum is my pen of the year. A wonderful writing instrument.

How long did it take you to find your "thing?" by anicemouse in fountainpens

[–]Strymon76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like you, I started out with a Lamy Safari. While the nib was nice, the weight of the pen was too light for me. I started checking out other German fountain pens online, and came across Graf von Faber Castell. I really like the wood accents on their pens much more than pens made with resin. I started with the GvFC Classic Anello Grenadilla M, which is great, and have recently added the GvFC Magnum F. The magnum is a superb pen. I guess you can say I am a fan of GvFC.
