  • 3 rep tracking is better than 2 which is miles above 1 in my opinion. I got the Instinct 1 as a gift during the pandemic and hardly used it because it would drop reps too often to even be useful at the gym. The Instinct 2 was a decent upgrade for this in particular, but I would say the HR monitor in the Instinct 1 seemed slightly more accurate than the Instinct 2’s. I’m really happy with the Instinct 3 though. It seems like Garmin has addressed all my own complaints about the Instinct 2.

    As for sweat, buddy I’m right there with you. I have to peel clothes off after every session but both the 2 and 3 don’t seem fazed by my sweaty arms. I do try to tighten my band a notch before each session to get accurate HR and that seems to help a lot. My only advice is that if you’re going for the 3 just grab the AMOLED version unless you’re outside A LOT. I originally got the Solar and it just would not hold a charge well even if I did frequent hikes. Returned it and swapped for the AMOLED and it’s generally holding a charge for me for ~ 18d with Pulse Ox turned off. No real complaints with the 3 just that I liked the displays on the 1 and 2s more than the colorful display of the 3, but functionality-wise it’s a step above both of them

    Here in the US, Passport services are more often handled by Post Offices. Some Libraries and other government offices handle it as well, but that’s mostly in metropolitan areas. So if you wanna leave this shithole you’ll likely find yourself having to visit one at some point. Doubly true if you’re unfortunate enough to be in a rural part of the US











  • Interesting.

    I personally use a moonlander, and have for years now. I really enjoy them, but also didn’t like that there were wires needed to connect both sides and usually a 2nd USB-C cable need to connect the keyboard to a device. I went searching a couple years ago for a wireless solution and found SliceMK also powered by ZMK, bought one promptly and it wasn’t too bad. Eventually the battery on both sides would inflate, and it seems like the Sole developer of the product has disappeared so it’s effectively a paperweight.

    I’d be interested in exploring this option too, but I’d just want some confidence that support for the product wouldn’t just evaporate overnight. Also I suppose it makes sense to ask if the battery is easy to access and replace on both sides?
