Budget "Dive" Watch Comparison - Casio Duro vs. Timex Navi XL
/Today I compare two budget dive watches, the legendary Casio Duro and the Timex Navi XL. I picked the new Duro with green bezel because I think it's a great Rolex Submariner Starbucks alternative for $60.

Goodbye 2021, a Box Throwing Compilation
/I guess this will become an annual tradition, so in order to close out the year here's the box throw compilation for the last year. Although the year was another rough one for all of us, your support over the last 365 has made it easier and even enjoyable. Thank you for that. I hope you found some help, enjoyment, or escapism in the videos over the last year. Let's see what the next year brings, and remember that we'll get through that one too.
Shure SM7b Mic Review / Test
/Today I re-review the Shure SM7b after 6 years of use. If you are looking for a very easy to listen to mic for spoken word that's on the darker side, this thing is great. If you're looking for a music studio workhorse, this is great. However, it is a very quiet mic so make sure your interface's preamps can drive it.
