What are some of the best purchases of your life? (lemmy.world)

For me it has to be:

  1. Helix mattress ($1,217). Sleep is great.
  2. Home gym power cage & weights (~$1,000). Look good, feel good, get strong.
  3. Netgear Nighthawk AXE7800 ($339). No more random, annoying internet disconnects/slowness.
  4. Books ($0 @ library)
    • "Ultralearning" - Scott Young (how to learn efficiently)
    • "Enlightenment Now" - Steven Pinker (the world overall is improving)
    • "The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing" - Taylor Larimore (how to invest)
  5. PS5 ($500). So many great games like witcher 3, god of war, spiderman.

I'm searching for some more deep value purchases. Give me what you've got.

Yeah, I had to buy a duro, it's a stunner! and for the price it's a no brainer. The new variant GA-B2100 is on my radar. It has bluetooth for keeping time and some basic reminders and tough solar.

As for mechanical I thought I'll buy some HMTs, since they have heritage where I am from and they are pretty cheap too. But the dials are all horrible.

a money drain if you go too deep

You are absolutely right, I never thought I would buy a watch let alone multiple watches. Have you found a sub-lemmy yet?

Hope you’ll enjoy every second w your duro… Regarding GA B2100 , it’s a solid option , no arguing about that It’s the first time I’ve heard about HMTs , hope you’ll find a model that suits you

& no , I haven’t found a sub for watches here yet
