5 Easy Steps To The Site
1
In Depth Product Reviews
You probably stumbled upon here looking for a review of a sports gadget. If you’re trying to decide which unit to buy – check out my in-depth reviews section. Some reviews are over 60 pages long when printed out, with hundreds of photos! I aim to leave no stone unturned.

Read My Sports Gadget Recommendations.
Here’s my most recent GPS watch guide here, and cycling GPS computers here. Plus there are smart trainers here, all in these guides cover almost every category of sports gadgets out there. Looking for the equipment I use day-to-day? I also just put together my complete ‘Gear I Use’ equipment list, from swim to bike to run and everything in between (plus a few extra things). And to compliment that, here’s The Girl’s (my wife’s) list. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!

Have some fun in the travel section.
I travel a fair bit, both for work and for fun. Here’s a bunch of random trip reports and daily trip-logs that I’ve put together and posted. I’ve sorted it all by world geography, in an attempt to make it easy to figure out where I’ve been.

My Photography Gear: The Cameras/Drones/Action Cams I Use Daily
The most common question I receive outside of the “what’s the best GPS watch for me” variant, are photography-esq based. So in efforts to combat the amount of emails I need to sort through on a daily basis, I’ve complied this “My Photography Gear” post for your curious minds (including drones & action cams!)! It’s a nice break from the day-to-day sports-tech talk, and I hope you get something out of it!

The Swim/Bike/Run Gear I Use List
Many readers stumble into my website in search of information on the latest and greatest sports tech products. But at the end of the day, you might just be wondering “What does Ray use when not testing new products?”. So here is the most up to date list of products I like and fit the bill for me and my training needs best! DC Rainmaker 2023 swim, bike, run, and general gear list. But wait, are you a female and feel like these things might not apply to you? If that’s the case (but certainly not saying my choices aren’t good for women), and you just want to see a different gear junkies “picks”, check out The Girl’s Gear Guide too.
This watch is on my wishlist!

You do realise I am going to be sitting around all day now to check in on the website, rather than getting in some exercise. Anyways – if I win anything I promise to head straight out and make it up.
This is an awesome GPS watch!
nice watch..will use them for sure! :)
Please.
Im feeling lucky on this one, make it rain DC!
Thanks for the giveaway!
what a great idea!!
Have been using a Suunto T6c + Firstbeat Athlete for about 5 years, and I really like the two. Especially having R-R recording and having bad HR data clearly visible in the software afterwards. Also the coach function in Athlete. But I need to look at something new, and it would be nice to get rid of the GPS POD. I hear varying feedback on the Garmin 910XT so the Ambit 2S sounds like a better choice. If you have one to spare, please feel free…
Hola!
I want :)
Im in!
Yes, it’s mine!
I would be excited to win this.
I’m in !
Fingers crossed for this one
Thanks for the give away!
Love the site. Would love to win the watch :-)

This is exactly what I need on right wrist! I’ll have the Garmin 910XT on the left and this on the right and I can pretend to be a regular DC Rainmaker myself!
No seriously, I’d love to have one of these to replace my Suunto Core.
Good work Ray
1000 plus entries….doesn’t hurt to try!
Ohh, i’d sure like to use this watch! :D (measure my number of soon to be eaten cupcakes) ;)
Such a cool giveaway idea!! Love your site!
Well, it is a large number of comments already and I never win anything. Let’s see if it works this time.

Very cool gadget!
Hey!
Been reading the very good reviews you have done for a while. Trying to figure out what kind of watch that would suit me best. Some weeks ago my old Suunto T6 with the gps puck started to behave very strange and the results was not to trust. My plan was to upgrade to an Ambit, but by entering here I can always have some hope save the money. Thanks
Gooood morning from Germany! :)
yup!
Still in time for the watch?
