  • Double plus for the Garmin. I’m wearing an Instinct 2 right now. 21 day battery life! It replaced my Vivoactive 4S (6 day battery life) and was cheaper than the Venu 2 (11 day battery life).

    I’ve killed at least two smartwatches by forgetting I’m wearing them when I go in the ocean. The Vivoactive 4S was completely unaffected by the salt water, and I’ll test the Instinct 2 this week.

    My mom is all about her Apple watch, and has touted the features to me. “I can [insert feature] with this!” Have you used it for that? “No.”

    I’ve had three Pebbles, a couple Fitbits, a couple Garmins, a couple Android watches, two Amazfits… I just want something that sends me notifications and has good battery life. If I have to charge the watch every night, I’ll forget I’m wearing it.

    That being said, the Instinct 2 is actually worse at tracking my workouts than the Vivoactive 4 was. I do martial arts, so the GPS is actually a hindrance there, and I haven’t found a way to make it move “generic cardio” to the top of the workout list.



  • Banana sandwiches. Banana, mayo, white bread. It’s a Southern thing, and it’s always Duke’s mayo.

    Tomato sandwiches. Really good tomatoes, mayo, white bread, salt. Also Southern, also Duke’s.

    I don’t drink a lot of milk, but when I have a glass, I like a couple cubes of ice in it. Milk tastes sweeter to me as it warms up, and I don’t like that, so the ice delays it.

    My mom likes canned pineapple rings with mayo.
