A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!

Guidelines:

Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!

Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.

Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.

A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:

The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
You cannot be a large corporation.
The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

I have owned a Garmin Vivoactive 3 for almost 10 years now. A short review. (feddit.dk)

Pros: Still does everything I want it to. Has great battery life still. Pretty accurate for a wrist measure, when measuring heart rate. Also has built in GPS, and even Garmin Pay although I never got it to work. Screen is perfectly visible in sunlight

Cons: Proprietary charger. I've had to switch the watch band 2 times.

I have a forerunner 255 for a couple of years and it has been great.

I wish they had wireless charging, but I also appreciate that it is slimmer because they don't have it.

I would have gotten a nicer one, but holy cow they get expensive.

It does everything I need and even stores music for my runs. (Who am I lying to, it stores music for my walks.)

I have a Garmin BP cuff and I like that I can track my health stats, including sleeping
