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.

Ray, listen up, I know you do the random thing here to choose a winner, but like all the other folks here, I really really really really need one of these. You know, I’m looking to buy one otherwise with black friday, however there’s a big chance my wife will go mad when I buy one!!!! You know, your BBQ story with the wife… something similar I have but then with such a watch.
You know Ray, how these wives are right, so you could save me a lot of headaches, discussions, back and forth negotiating… then if ever agreed to buy one you know she will change the requirements list, where it’ll have to start all over again…
So Ray, save me some serious bullshit, and hopefully I’ll be lucky this time around!
This would be so cool!
Why not?
Please may I have this. The rest of my running gang has the 935 and they think they’re better than me with my cracked screened, broken strapped 630…
