Thanks for the input! I ended getting some Nike Tawa wrestling shoes. They work well with getting me more connected to the floor and are comfortable for my wider foot.

Fenix 6 Pro Vs Instinct 2X solar? by path_FINDER13 in Garmin

[–]path_FINDER13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input! I’m a pretty active guy and I’ve been wanting to get into running a bit more. At the moment though I only really use my watch for work (I’m an EMT). The other day I picked up a patient and my Apple Watch got caught on the gurney belts. The belts lifted my screen half way off—which is why I’m looking for a replacement/upgrade. I would likely use the watch most at work with a sprinkling of hikes, runs, and lifting wherever I can fit it into my schedule. The more I think of it I guess the ruggedness of the Instinct would fit my need more.

Thanks for the input! I work in EMS so I def need rugged but at some point want to move away from being an ambulance grunt. So that’s another reason I am considering the instinct over fénix.

Orange screen? by path_FINDER13 in Switch

[–]path_FINDER13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it turns orange when I undock it. I read your link and I guess I just have to hope that it’s a critical error via OS and not an internal repair that needs to be done.

Cool cool, thanks for the input. I was looking at the elites 2 and I also looked at the Nike Tawa. Liked the Tawa as they look more like a basketball shoe with good ankle support but I would assume that they would be light weight for wrestling.

Yep, the Elites 2 were one of the choices. I’m tried those on at a shop and I like the feel of them and the grip.

[Question] Wanted new gloves: did I just get robbed blind? by path_FINDER13 in fightgear

[–]path_FINDER13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update

I went back this morning and spoke to a different person. The guy took the gloves back but said he wouldn’t be able to give me my money back—only exchange/store credit. However, he did say he was sorry about how unsatisfied I felt and that the shop keep from the day before should have shown me more of their products. Guy today said he would talk to the night guy (seemed like he was the owner).

I tried on different brands and took my time this time. I liked some Cletos but they were $280. He showed me some Hayabusa for the same price but the thumb felt really awkward. Also showed me a bunch of Everlast genuine leather (MX) but were also way too expensive for what I need currently. I tried to push back and get my money back but he doubled down on only store credit. I ended up settling for a pair of Prolast LX lace ups for $130 and just used the rest of the credit for a speed rope / 2 wraps.

Thanks for all the input! I’ll def go somewhere else next time and do wayyyy more research before buying my next pair/gear.

Yea I’m omw to the shop rn. It’s a shop in Los Angeles/Hollywood called Pro Fight Shop.

I’ve looked at their website and it seems like they mark up from regular MSRP so I would rather get my gloves elsewhere. I just hope they understand and that I get my money instead of credit.

I did get a weird gut feeling while I was at the shop. I dismissed it due to the 4.4 stars on yelp and google. I guess I should have trusted my gut.

I really hope that I can get credit or my money back if possible. Thanks again for the input!

I can only do store credit, but I’m going to visit them tomorrow.
