I love my Garmin Instinct 2, but it is probably larger than you’d like. They have the 2S, which is smaller, but you would probably be better served by the Garmin Forerunner 45, which is lighter than both Instinct models.
For an even lighter watch that I’ve seen recommended, but haven’t used myself, you can look at a Coros Pace 3 or similar. It is a smidge lighter than the Garmin Forerunner 45.
Both brands have great GPS features and the ability to do stopwatches and quite a few other functions, including some smartwatch capabilities.
I’ve ordered the trackers from Jaces Toy Chest multiple times. The first time was to replace the cards for keeping score in Star Realms. I liked them so much, I bought a bunch for my players in a TTRPG game to keep track of health. The colors I originally ordered aren’t there, but the current ones I received are the same product.
I have a few other Spin Dial life counters from other sellers, but only bring them out when I need scores over 100. Most are 3D printed, and don’t match the feel of the Jace dials.
I’ve been using this for a bit and have some major complaints, the primary one being that reviews and books aren’t shared across all servers. I’m still going to use it to track my reading, but the “social” aspect is straight limited from the start. I want to see ALL reviews for a book, not just the people I follow or the ones on the server I joined. How do you even find people to follow with that level of visibility?
This thread talks through it. https://fosstodon.org/@Brendanjones/110722850962870241
Edit: It’s still way better than feeding your data into the maw of the ever-hungry Amazon, but I want it to be something I can recommend to my non-technical reading folks.
I’m replaying this now (after playing it when it first launched). It is worth a go!
I tried many alternatives (like feedly or theoldreader), self-hosted for a bit, and eventually ended up using inoreader. I’ve paid for it for years, but the ad-supported version is great.
It lets me do what I need on all my machines, regardless of OS. The app on both android and ios are solid. The web interface has keyboard shortcuts that make zipping through the feed a breeze. I can group sources together and view/manage them as a group (or individually). It is both feature-rich and simple.
The Old Reader would be my runner-up recommendation, but Inoreader is what I use.
Half of the “utility” comes from following people and hashtags that interest you. From there, use boosts and such to follow the people that continue to be fun to read. I haven’t gotten bored with my feed since taking a more active approach to choosing what I see.
I have a Goruck GR1 that has been going strong for over a decade. It’s been in multiple countries, often in harsh conditions. It’s been dropped in an ocean. It’s been tear gassed a time or two. It’s been through a lot, and still looks almost new.
I’ve purchased a few other bags from them (the most recent being an M23 delivered this very week).
Lifetime warranty. Great construction. I have no complaints.
