Awesome Video!!! I’m definitely interested in the Moment sling.. I’ve been notified I’m going back into the office and this would be great as an EDC for my essentials, i like the idea of keeping it in the backpack to use & limit what’s in your pockets when you don’t need everything. Looking forward to more videos of yours like this! Thanks, Edward

That design clearly makes taking a laptop or anything from the main compartment much easier and more comfortable in comparison with the traditional straight-zipped locks.

There's a ton I could say here that I'll talk about in an upcoming comparison (currently wearing both) video, but it ultimately comes down to battery life, flashlight (epix pro 2), and all of the built-in health tracking within the garmin watches. Pros and cons with both though, and I think Apple is only a few iterations away from taking over the market entirely.

I agree with you completely here. I have an Epix Pro Gen 2 as well as Apple Watch and while I have tried, I can’t do two watch thing.

T7 Shield is awful, so many people have issues with loose USB-C connectors. Mine was loose from day one, even a slight movement would disconnect the drive. Sent it back to Samsung in the Netherlands who found nothing wrong and sent it back, and left me to fight to not pay a large customs charge for "importing" the drive to the UK, which took weeks to sort through and ended up with legal threats from the courier who shipped it to me with the charge to pay later. Won't buy Samsung ever again.
