It’s been a while since I’ve done any posts on my everyday carry. It’s something that evolves and changes constantly for me, and as a subject in general I find it fascinating to see what others have in their pockets. As for mine, I think I may have started thinking about it more consciously about what I carried on myself and what I used daily about 6 years ago. It’s always been some permutation of keys, wallet, and phone, however.
Phone:
Pixel 4 128Gb with Google fabric case. Feels like the Pixel 3 so I didn’t review it. I’ve been using a case on my Pixels since mid 2019 as I really like how the fabric case feels. Fast, and approximates my camera when that’s not around me. I wish the battery life was better, but that’s all phones.
Wallet:
Popov card case in royal blue. This is a discontinued color. I’ve had this for 5 years and I love it, just like all my other Popov products. Very well built. I’m considering switching it out for a brown one, but it’s not necessary.
Watch:
Citizen BM8180 with a Timex slip-thru leather strap. I stopped wearing this for a while but recently revisited it. The leather strap breathes a bit of new life into it. I love the watch but would love it even more without the date window. It’s fiddly to adjust.
Keys:
My house keys are in a Quiet Carry “The Shorty” with stonewashed titanium finish. This one has the multitool on it. It’s relatively new to me but it’s very well built and fun to fiddle with. The multitool opens bottles and packages. I wish it had a deeper carry clip, but otherwise great.
Other stuff:
The handkerchief is new – It doesn’t take up a lot of space and can be useful occasionally. Time will tell if I keep carrying one.
The titanium pocket tool from Big Idea Design is mostly a trinket. It’s nice having a second option for opening packages and bottles, and on top of that the blade in it is a standard utility bade that’s replaceable. It’s well built being 2 pieces of titanium and disappears in my coin pocket. They make a slide version as well, but I copped the standard one for half price, and really couldn’t stomach 80USD for the slide.
Finally, we have the Sony WF-1000XM3. These are the best wireless earbuds I’ve tried so far, hands down. It took a while to find tips that fit for me, but the Symbio W in large are perfect. There will be a review of these at some point. I’ll try the Pixel Buds when they release due to the case size, but I have a feeling the noise cancelling of the Sony’s will keep me in that camp.
