Wear, Watch, Want #270: The Smaller Hiking Bomb Edition

Wear: Apple Watch SE

This week I downgraded and upgraded my Apple Watch. I had a 44mm 5, and it was starting to feel very large and would even hurt my wrist if I was having a bad arthritis day. Plus, I only use about 5% of the functions on my Apple Watch 5, so upgrading to an 8 seemed unnecessary. I traded in my old watch and got a 40mm SE and it is perfect. I got this slim band to go with it, and the combo of a small band and a smaller watch are much, much more comfortable.

Watch: Oppenheimer

I’m a 20 year member of the Cillian Murphy hive, and as such it is my duty to point out that while Cillian Murphy has 6ft energy, he is 5’7”. He has never looked more 5’7” than in Oppenheimer. I guess I should add that it was good and I saw it in IMAX (real, giant IMAX) which was totally worth it, but the thing I’m eager to tell everyone who asks is that Oppenheimer is officially Short King Cinema.

Want: Hiking Boots

So I don’t necessarily need hiking boots, but I’m going on a (relatively flat, easy) hike in a few weeks and I’d love a bit of ankle support. I’m planning on taking a trip to Sierra (the outdoorsy branch of the TJ Maxx extended universe) to get some discounted hiking boots, and just from browsing online they have a lot to choose from! Look at these ones! They look like a half-assed Barbie collab and I am here for it.
