NPD - Sherpa pen

Finally decided to pull the trigger on this one. Long story short: solid 9/10

This isn't really a pen per-se, it's a sleeve that you use for other pens. The price is pretty high ($45) but the build quality and the ergonomics really make it feel like you are getting your money's worth. I bought it to use it with the Uniball Vision Elite and the pen fits the sleeve like it was made for it, there is no wobble of any kind and it stays snug inside the sleeve.

The body of the sleeve has a matte sort of texture to it, it almost feels like ceramic. And the grip has a glossy plastic feel to it. The weight distribution is perfect and the sleeve itself does not add a ton of weight to the pen (I'm not sure what kind of plastic it's made of, but it doesn't feel as sturdy as ABS so durability might be a problem over the long term).

I saw some reviews online saying that the cap doesn't post right and that it falls off easily. I don't know if I got lucky but the cap on mine stays on it without any issues. On that note this is a pen that can be easily used without the cap on, as most of the weight is on the sleeve itself

All in all I think it's worth the money if you think an upgrade to the uniball vision pens (elite and regular) is worth the asking price.

Also, last but not least: this is a big guy. Uploaded some pics of it next to my pentel libretto and lamy safari for comparison

Blue on brown rubber strap. Thoughts?

Unsure about the color but surprised at how comfortable this $3 strap is!

Associate's degree or CCNA?

Hi all. I'm currently studying for an associate's, I'm almost done with it and only have two more classes to take before I can graduate, I am also studying for the CCNA as my college offers two courses that prepare you for it and the first one is mandatory for graduation, the second one can be taken as an elective.

Fall semester is coming and I can either take the second CCNA course and then take the exam, or I can take one of the two classes I have to take to graduate (I only have time to take one class). I have been working as a helpdesk tech for 3 years now and just got a raise for 50k/y with no prior experience. Should I get the CCNA or try to graduate as soon as possible?

Aftermarket bezel for the MRW-200h/230h

Hi all. I recently got two 230h's and was wondering if there are any aftermarket bezels or cases for this model though I can't find anything on alix. Anyone know of any bezels out there compatible with this model? I was thinking on buying a bezel for a normal dive watch with ratcheting but I'm not quite sure if it would work

[F91W] is the most confusing watch I've ever owned

So I recently got a Casio F91W, and it's been eye opening. I have omegas, a tag - a solid gold Vacheron, etc. and I feel like it's the only watch I wanna wear now. It's what, IMO, a watch is supposed to be. It's rugged, non pretentious, masculine, looks good in all situations, and if something happens to it, I don't wanna jump out a window. I wish I had discovered this watch before I spent 10's of thousands on other watches.

Yes, I wish it had an actual backlight, but beyond that, it's the perfect watch.

Zento signature - overhyped?

Got my hands on two of these after a recent drop in the uniball website earlier this week and honestly, I don't think there's anything all that special about this pen (?)

The materials feel nice to the touch and the magnetic cap is sleek but the weight distribution feels way off since most of the weight of the pen is on the cap. The grip doesn't have rubber or any kind of texture to compensate for this so actually writing with this pen feels off and awkward to hold.

Honestly the Sarasa Grand, Lamy Safari, S-Gel Copper, and even the One P are way more comfortable to write with (at least for me and the way I grip my pens). Anyone else feels like they fell for the hype and marketing?
