Isn’t EDC supposed to stand for Every Day Carry?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well, technically speaking, every day is iinclusive of today. I may very well carry these items with me at all times, with no deviation, and would still be correct by submitting a new post with the title Today's Every Day Carry.

Edit: I interpret Every Day Carry to mean that we all carry basically the same stuff every day. But what do you have today.

My EDC is: phone, keys, wallet, watch, knife, fidget, vape, guitar pick. Sharing the variations of our own EDC is what makes this interesting and fun. It provides some personal insight into another individual that you'll properly never meet, who could be living anywhere in the world, living a life completely differently from your own.

Man, that knife handle is beautiful. 🤩

Yes definitely is. Spent way too much on it as a souvenir when I was in Alaska this past summer. Plus the Kershaw Scallion has a tiny slide lock just before the tip to prevent it from opening unintentionally. Really like that feature

That is a beautiful knife!

Citizen Chronograph CA0649-4E - By far my favorite watch, love the EcoDrive

I had to look up what Eco-Drive is. I'm confused by the marketing that it "uses no battery" but the promo video says that light is converted into energy that's stored in a "rechargeable power cell", which sounds like a battery to me. LOL

Do you know if it's a super capacitor, perhaps?

I have a Garmin solar watch, but know the battery it uses will eventually be what forces me to replace it down the line. I'd love to have a light-powered watch that uses a capacitor instead of a battery.

Honestly do not know where it stores the power. It charges whatever it charges with light (supposedly including indoor lighting) and physical movement. Had it 5 years and have gone months without wearing it in some instances, and the time stays accurate

That is so awesome! It's amazing how far analog watch tech has advanced!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Believe it or not the tech's been around for almost 30 years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eco-Drive

Mind blown!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Found out something new myself based on this little exchange between us, I wouldn't have looked up the wiki otherwise. Pretty cool that they estimate they've saved over 10 million watch batteries from hitting a landfill. Makes me like the watch even more. There's no reason this shouldn't be standard tech for any watch over like $100. Not like the high end, super accurate, luxury watches, but you know what I mean
