Watches
Nubeo Elysium NASA
The Blue Galaxy dial and hidden UV message are the draw. Check the 48 mm lug-to-lug fit before buying.
Reviews, experiments & a curious life
I test things.
Then I tinker.
I’m Ryan. I review watches and practical tech, build things that make me curious, and write about what I find along the way. Sometimes that means giving my fridge a personality.
A few places to start
From the review shelf.
Mini PCs
GMKtec M8 Mini PC
An interesting homelab pick thanks to dual 2.5G networking and OCuLink. Look elsewhere if upgradeable RAM is essential.
Power & charging
EcoFlow RAPID Pro 27K
Makes the most sense for charging a laptop away from your desk. Its extra weight and power are overkill for a phone alone.
Still that dude who writes stuff
Beyond the gear.
Science fiction, rabbit holes, and the occasional long thought. There’s a lot more in the archive.
