5 Easy Steps To The Site

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.
Yes please….
I like me a good Suunto
Wanna have!
Hope to get luck this time
Would be a great way to start the week.
Good to have it! … but those structured trainings, I would miss them.
I guess I feel kind of lucky, but we’ll see, after 24 hours, if that feeling at all correlates with reality.

Great start of the day.
I’ve never owned a Suunto, but looks like a nice watch
First chance
This would make a great upgrade from my Garmin 235 as I am planning on moving into triathlons next year and maybe even an ultra if my knees and shins can handle it.
Very nice watch. Would try one :)
Sign me up!

Time to upgrade the old Fenix for some new bling!
Watching it…
Fingers crossed. Where is my lucky rabbits foot?
In 2 win!
What are the chances?!
Now they are a tiny bit smaller ;-)
Ray – this was made for me. I’m away from home 5 days a week. The 120-hour life means I can leave the charging cable at home and only recharge the Suunto at weekends. Additionally, the black & white version you’re offering, fits in my overcast life.
Running for that!
Looking forward to a new watch!
I’m in
Would sell it to buy a Garmin.
sweet start
So excited for this! I have been a follower for along time but have always missed the giveaways!
Question if this gets read: What should I do about a power meter for XC mountain biking?
Always in need of a good watch!
I want this watch! Will I win it? :)
I don’t have a watch.
Who doesn’t want to run for 5 days straight?
Thanks!
I like to read your reviews and it should be awsome to have this watch !
Today will be a long day. Let’s start! ?
I’d like to win this’n
I’m sure this would make me faster.
120 hours is how long an Ironman would take me.
Please!
Nice replacement for my Ambit2
Fingers crossed!
Please to a fan in Quebec!
Best looking Watch of this moment.
You can never have too many watches!
Why not? :)
