iPhone 5S (older model, primarily to use the Moondog Labs anamorphic camera lens)
Koyono Slimmy wallet
Jawbone UP24 fitness band (to be replaced with an HRM-enabled UP3 upon release)

I wish the fitness band had a Microsoft Band-style vertical screen, but made out of e-ink so you would still get great battery life & outdoor readability. It'd also be nice if it had a programmable RFID chip so you could do proximity access for things like your front door lock, car door lock, computer login, etc. without having to leave Bluetooth on your phone to drain the battery. Maybe in the future.

Same. I really need a different headset. I want something that will work with all my devices connected at once but still has good sound. I start looking and then get lazy and give up.


Also: isn't it amazing how much having notifications on your wrist changes your life? I can literally go a whole work day without touching my phone and I love it.

Yup. Especially while driving. It is awesome for directions and to control my podcasts.

The second biggest thing I use my watch for is to make reminders easily. My life is more organized since I got it.

Wear Mini Launcher just adds so much too. I love being able to ping my phone to find it, or turn on tethering without touching the phone.

Maybe I'll amend a picture when I get home:

Note 2
Pebble Watch (awesome device)
Jaybird Bluebuds X for my tunes
Dell Venue 8 Pro
Keychain USB stick (Who doesn't have one of these? I can't live without one.)

You guys have me thinking it's time to look for a new wallet. I'm tired of sitting on mine.

Ooops I forgot to mention my MK808b Plus. I drag that little Android stick everywhere now, it is so nice to have that as a baseline for entertainment instead of whatever primitive tech the normals I visit might have (DVD player, HA!).

It will change your life not sitting on your wallet anymore.

Were the Jaybirds worth the money? I just bought a pair of new wired headphones and I'm pissed I didn't spend the extra couple bucks and get a nice bluetooth pair.

The driving directions were a surprise as to how useful they are. I never would have thought I would want that, let alone find it useful in any way. But I drove to a spot where I had no idea where I was going and the notifications were beyond helpful.

I mostly use the notifications though. I get way too many notifications. Its kind of out of control and I was so sick of dragging my phone out of my pocket to find out if I had an important email or it was just some moron on Linkedin trying to sell me something. My life is seriously so much better with this thing.

The Jaybirds are sort of a love / hate thing for me. They sound awesome. I have several pairs of earbuds / IEMs and these sound as good or better than anything else I have. My problem with them is they aren't super great for running which is really why I wanted them (they were a gift from my wife). The buds are heavy and even with the funky ear pieces that are included it's hard to keep a good seal. For general walking around / sitting on the couch, etc. they are fantastic and they stay sealed just fine.

Just bought the Backbeat Go 2s. Looks like all the things I like with these but it can do 5 devices at once. Sounds perfect!

My portable gear:

- 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. Amazing blend of a great screen, long battery life and a killer trackpad. Still think it's the gold standard for laptops.

- iPhone 6 64GB. Yeah, I like Android, but the iPhone is very fluid and has a couple of aces up its sleeve. The camera is both high-quality and very consistent (i.e. it doesn't freak out if it gets dark), and Touch ID is supremely handy for keeping the phone secure without entering a PIN or password every single time.

- Pebble smartwatch. This'll probably be kicked to the curb as soon as the Apple Watch hits, but I still like it. It has good battery life, it's comfortable and there's a healthy market for watchfaces and apps.

- Monster in-ear headphones. Yeah, it's Monster, but I'm procrastinating on getting a replacement pair. As it stands, the bass-heavy sound does work well for electronic music.

- A rotation of devices from other platforms: I own a Nexus 5 and a Lumia 1020, and I regularly take peeks at other Android and Windows Phone devices... while my mainstays are Apple gear, I'm definitely comfortable with other platforms.

My Everyday Carry to/from Work:

- iPhone 6 Plus I actually prefer Android, but the day-to-day operation seems smoother on the iPhone and the camera is just more consistently better for me. I change phones all the time though, so who knows what I'll be using next week.

- Winbook TW801 This device turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I normally just use my Tablet for web-browsing (I have an old iPad 2 and a Dell Venue 8 Pro) and video playing, so any ecosystem would work for me (Windows 8, iOS, or Android). However, I bought this Winbook TW801 on a whim since it has a full-size USB 3.0 and micro-HDMI ports. I work in IT so sometimes have to go to Data Centers to console into equipment physically. I used to lug around an old work laptop to do this work (10lbs+ with power brick) but last time I had to do it, I brought this little 8" tablet with a USB hub and USB-to-Serial adapter and it worked a charm. Hooked up a spare USB keyboard and mouse to the hub along with the USB-to-Serial adapter, and had a mini-desktop setup going.

- Apple EarPod headphones They came with my iPhone and sound good enough.

- Some Cheapo portable battery unit + microUSB and Lightning cables Some extra juice in case I run out.

I have a LG G Watch that I used to use with my Nexus 6. I can echo the others here that these smartwatches are great and have made my life a little easier. I used to think smartwatches were very gimmicky but being able to flick my wrist and see if the latest notification was some stupid Facebook update VS an important email has saved me a good amount of time. I'm thinking of getting a Pebble watch to pair with my iPhone since the iWatch will be what...$350+? Too much to pay for a Gen1 device in my mind.

For those with the Pebble, how well has it been working for you on iOS 8? I heard you can't really respond/take-action with notifications like you can with Android Wear? Just read-only?

Dang dude, you carry a lot of stuff every day! Most of what you take to work would result in me losing my job lol.

I did get a front pocket wallet after seeing your original post (A Dash 3.0) and so far I am really liking it. Maybe I'll stop wearing a hole in my back right khaki pockets now.
