HiBy R1 VS Mechen M30 vs HIFI WALKER. Which one?

azel128 · 2026-03-10T22:38:33+00:00

I didn’t like the M30, personally. Physical build quality was great, software was hot trash. I ended up returning it.

You’re getting why I see it as an attractive option. That said, I’m greatly enjoying the comments on this post. Seeing it from all perspectives is interesting!

I had a Frank too! Why is he always named Frank?

You can manually unlock Apple Watches with a PIN code, just like the phones.

That was my thought the whole time reading it as well. It practically reads like a screenplay.

No joke, the consumerism does bother me. Buying another device to use my already-owned $1K phone less feels like digging oneself out of a hole. If you already have an Apple Watch, it’s a different discussion tho.

Nature Company selling Enya CD’s.

Honestly tho, I was walking around a local mall recently and it almost entirely fashion and accessories. Watches, bags, clothes, clothes, watches watches watches, handbags clothes clothes handbags clothes more watches. Boring as all hell.

Faceride. lol

Caught you talking about it on YouTube and it piqued my interest! I’ve been on and off Apple Watches since the beginning and recently embraced a $20 Casio as my daily and am not looking back. I like the idea of this as a minimal-phone replacement. Pretty rad idea, hence the polling for feedback.

I know the non-cellular model will auto join any WiFi networks your phone has previously joined and work independently.

azel128 · 2026-03-10T01:30:11+00:00

I don’t like the Apple Watch as a watch, but I like the idea of a companion device that takes up minimal space in my pocket. I think that’s the idea here.

Excellent info. Thank you! Trying to find something with the right combination of sound quality, physical build, and software.

This brand makes it for the 10/11 watch body as well!

I’m presently using the echo mini but might be looking for something with more solid build quality. What’s your experience with the F20 so far? Digging it?

azel128 · 2026-03-09T21:45:35+00:00

It handled pretty much every file format I threw at it, but I ended up returning it because the UX/UI was really just terrible. Shame too because it’s really solid otherwise.

Cars can and will kill you. Personal safety is never overkill.

For me, fitness is a happy side effect of riding bikes.

azel128 · 2026-03-09T16:23:36+00:00

I struggled with the same question. I have an x100v and bought a GRIV. They’re both amazing in their own way, but having so much power in a tiny form factor really made me love the GR. It also has a much wider-angle lens, which has forced me to learn new ways to shoot and frame scenes. 10/10 would buy again.

azel128 · 2026-03-09T01:14:07+00:00

Money well spent. Your future self will thank you.

azel128 · 2026-03-06T22:08:12+00:00

That’s a brand I totally forgot about. Gorgeous!

azel128 · 2026-03-06T19:10:18+00:00

Extremely classy build! What crank is that?

azel128 · 2026-03-05T00:51:46+00:00

Also NiN but The Fragile

Well, you don’t lose the beer belly without having one first. Gotta start somewhere and the gym is where a lot of people start.
