My 2022 EDC: Favorite Watch Trends: Casio, Rolex, Cartier + Wallets, Knives, Jewelry, Pens & More

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Today I share an update to my #EDC for 2022. Join me for a first look at some brand new additions to my Every Day Carry, and a few of my proven favorites. From my most-loved watches of the last few months (including the Cartier Santos, Rolex GMT, Seiko Flightmaster, and Dan Henry Maverick) and watch straps I always keep on hand, to the best quality in leather goods including wallets, key holders, and watch cases, I cover a lot in this video. I also discuss some of the most favored knives in my collection-including the best knives for #everydaycarry and for more formal occasions-and why I love Benchmade and Forge de Laguiole over past favorites from Spydeco, Opinel, and Case Knives. For those who love jewelry, you'll enjoy a segment on bespoke jewelry, which rings are best for you and which you can customize, the meanings and functions of different pendants, what to look for in terms of sizing and materials when buying a chain, and the best place to buy jewelry online. And of course, an EDC wouldn't be complete without a good quality pen, so I also include a few of my Parker Jotter pens, why I love them so much, and their pop culture connection including appearances in Mad Men and James Bond.

    I've gravitated toward reducing my watch collection this year to just a few pieces that I'm really into, instead of a large number of pieces that I sometimes feel like wearing. It has really made me stop and appreciate each piece for what it is and what it offers. I've also gotten into knives and flashlights as well. It's crazy how much flashlight technology has improved in the last 10-15 years. My tiny little AA powered light completely blows away any old flashlight I've had in the past.

    Really well done, TGV. Loved that you spent more time talking about the art on the phone cover than the phone itself. I also use the phone as a tool, but am not entirely keen on it's ball and chain qualities. I carry a Gerber Shard everyday as well. It might be of interest to know that the Shard is airport friendly and is an excellent way to have some useful tools at the ready when other tool options would not be permitted. I love my rings as well. I have long thought of having a signet ring made, but I fear I wouldn't wear it too often. My wife had a custom ring made for me after my Navy retirement, and that with my wedding ring suits me for now. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, MY FRIEND! At least I got it in within the month. I discovered a new pen this year. I have always been a Cross pen guy, but sadly it seems that supply of refills has gotten problematic. I looked hard at the Parker Jotter, but I have found it hard to find the metal barreled versions. I am not keen on the lightness of the plastic versions. I discovered the Rotring 600. It is absolutely splendid. Rock solid - made like a tank, unique and accepts an endless array of refills ( same refills as the Jotter). Interestingly, Fisher, who make the Spacepen, make refills that fit both the Rotring and Parker. So if anyone has a Rotring or Jotter but wants the capabilities of the Spacepen.....that is doable for about $6. The Roman coin pendant, while it wasn't the first time I had seen it, it is stunning. Loved the new Carl Friedrik wallet. Looks excellent. As for knives, I received a Laguiole from my son for Christmas, and you are absolutely correct ....they are wonderful. My everyday knife is a Cold Steel TiLite or Benchmade. My backup is usually my Leatherman MUT. Totally agree that the GMT is fantastically useful. Also, have found myself extremely content with my collection for now as well. Good to hear you are like wise. Really happy to hear you are doing well so far this year. Thanks for the excellent content as always. Looking forward to what's next! Be well. Onward and upward.

    Such an interesting commentary. I was amazed by how many things we have in common. I've mentioned I also have a Santos..an auto, two tone. I've started to wear it more since I saw your arrival. I have a large signet ring that my father gave me for my 21st birthday, almost 50 years ago. I also have my Parker ball from when I was a teenager, and I have my father's silver Parker that is etched with the black hatching. Must be from the late 60s. In '97 I was in Kusadasi on my way to Ephesus and bought a beautiful 18k Byzantine chain that I've with every day..picked up a beautiful gold and lapis lazuli scarab in the Khan el-Kahlili in Cairo that is on it now. Then you showed us your Roman coin. I bought a similar one years ago from a little shop at the entrance to Petra. I've wondered what to do with it.. now I know, so that's a great idea you passed on. My small Swiss knife has been on a keyring since I was given it in '91. And my red car comes from Modena. As I said, so many common interests. Always enjoy your topics and style. If you're ever downunder let me know. Almost forgot..I loved the phone case. Where did you get it?

    6:05 fountain pens are, like watches and smartphones, graded according to their tier. There are some low midrange ones by reputable companies like Parker themselves that are very affordable. Having owned some 7 fountain pens, three of them that were inherited from a relative who passed away, I can tell you that even old ones that have not been used in 20 years do not leak unless they have been mistreated in some way, the way any item would after being improperly used. As a former school principal, I used to write a lot, and I switched to fountain pens full time during my last two years of that position and, let me tell you, despite the fact that there definitely is a learning curve (specially for lefties, since we may smear the still-wet ink), the feeling of gliding the pen tip over paper is unmatched. I had to switch back to ballpoint for a few days and the STRAIN on my wrist was noticeable. The con of using fountain pens is that you have to carry a spare cheap ballpoint anyhow, in case someone wants to borrow a pen from you (lending fountain ones leads to people damaging the tips, due to inexperience). Great content, as usual

    For the first time ever, I'm going to try to wear mostly one watch for the entire year - the Spaceview DNA I bought after your review of the 2020 one, it feels like being part of an experiment. When I expect to need one I bring a Leatherman C33 knife, other than that I travel light. For portable music I only do so if bringing my backpack, Hifiman HM-901 MP3 player and some Denon closed back full headphones. They're bulky but there's nothing portable even now that sounds as good and prevents other people in an office having to endure noise from my enjoyment. A lot of people just don't consider the effect noise leakage from open back headphones and many earplugs has on other people in a quiet environment.

    My EDC: - Olight O-pen 2 pro in orange, Its a bloody nice pen plus a rechargeable led flashlight and laser pointer in a nice somewhat slim package. I love it. Its heavier then my jptter but its so handy. I have a few of these in different version but the latest is my fav. - A small Olight Baton 3 LED flash light in red. Great small flashlight. As with my O-pen2 its in bright colors cause I've discovered (and probably others) that when you need a flashlight nothing is worse in the dark like trying to find a BLACK flashlight, 😅 - My knife as always lately is the Boker Urban trapper with wood handle scales. Great knife that usually doesn't draw looks of disaproval. - My multitool (when not working) is my Victorinox Alox Pioneer or farmer. Those knurled? aluminium handle scales are fantastic and the weight is ok. - My Multitool (working) is my Leatherman Wave+. I can fix my glasses, fix a computer all the way to turn a bolt o a tractor with those plus they are not as obnoxiously heavy as some multi tools.😅 I don't carry it when not working cause its still like carrying a brick compared to a medium sized Victorinox. So from the above I don't always carry all of these at once but I ALWAYS have my keychain. On my keychain/lanyard (I'm disabled hence the tacky lanyard) I've got a wistle, a small leatherman squit, an Olight i1R 2 in orange (fantastic light is so powerful rechargeable and yet so small), a collapsible pen, and and a small pain pill bottle for emergencies (chronic back pain). As too watches my every day are depending on how I feel or what I might need. These are the ones that I can wear all day that don't effect my arthrities/nerve sensitive in my hands, - Casio Protrek PRW-6600y-1a9cr. Love the watch and its capabilities. I might be getting a titanium PRW-60T to go with it. - Seiko SafArnie SNJ031. I love that green and the movies Arnold wore this series of watches in.😅 - Casio Protrek PRW-30-1A. Its my only JDM. - Casio Gshock solar 5600 on a combi bracelet. Casio REALLY needs to offer more watches on combi bracelets, They are sooo comfortable! - My Citizen Promaster Nighhawk BlueAngles on a bracelet. I have other watches of course but I really like to get watches I'm not scared to scratch up. This year I'd really like to get a Protrek Prw-60T or Prw-70t (both have titanium bracelets) and a Casio Gshock GST-B300E or GST-B200. I'm a huge solar watch fan and nobody does it like Casio as far as I'm concerned,

    How old are you, mate? I had Lasik when I was about to turn 36. Awesome! No more glasses or contacts. Then I turned 42. Boom. My arms were not long enough to read restaurant menus anymore, and it helped to be in direct sunlight at noon on June 20 on a clear day in Arizona. So now I have more pairs of reading glasses than I have fingers. I turn 55 this year so have leveled up several times. Luckily I still dont need rx glasses for distance and that should last awhile. So my favorite readers are Foster Grants in a little hard case 5.5 in wide, 1.5 in deep, and (the best part) less than .5 inch thick. The compactness is achieve with a hinged spring where the arms attach to frames. I have 4 pairs of glasses with 4 cases.

    I carry a Microtech Dirac Delta in one pocket, and then carry a leatherman PS4 Squirt in the other pocket. I carry a surefire tactician vertically in my back pocket next to my wallet. I wear El Paso Saddlery belts most of the time, because I do edc a firearm. Their belts are heavy enough to hold up a full sized 1911 or a duty sized revolver. When at work I carry a tourniquet in my work pants as well. When not at work I keep bags with a little more than a normal IFAK in both cars and in my house. I find an IFAK usually doesn’t have anything for an injury less than a sucking chest wound, and with twin 9yo boys, I patch a lot of bicycle crash road rash, falls from trees, or stepping on something sharp. I think it’s important to have medical close by and take some classes in how to use it. Seeing someone you love hurt and feeling helpless to assist them is horrible. Great video!

    Very interesting EDC. My EDC changes depending on what im doing. At the moment I’m working in healthcare so my EDC is quite a bit different as when I’m on my own time. My big issue right now is that I am having a big issue trying to find just the right wallet. I’ve tried the hitech minimalistic aluminum wallets but I guess I’m just a leather fan. Problem is finding one that suits my needs and has quality for price. I haven’t tried CF yet. I think I may owe it myself to check out their offerings. As far as watches goes, I’m have a bit of a hard time trying to find a focus on my collection. I just purchased a Benrus Type 1 reissue for my military section. Great video Tristano, I hope you and your family are well. As I have said many times, your production and content quality are heads and shoulders above most of KZread. I’ve been watching from the beginning and it just gets better and better.
