That looks about as infuriating as the imperial system …

My wife has a Garmin (vivoactive 4s I think) and on paper it looked fantastic, in action she has had nothing but trouble. Terrible battery, ugly UI, ridiculous management app, nothing but sync trouble. Hopefully Garmin has picked up their game with newer watches.

I’ve been rolling a Fitbit Charge 5 for the last year and a half and it’s been pretty great, had an issue at six months and Fitbit replaced it, no issues since. Good screen, reliable tracking, 1 charge lasts 5 days to a week, no issues with sync.

If the number of electrocutions per capita are the same then it’s clear the fuse is doing nothing. The only reason to keep it is if you don’t trust your domestic network, specifically the protection systems provided. If they are to code then why waste your manufactures time, and the time and space of your users continuing to require them.

My argument isn’t born from patriotism, it’s frustratration at years of having to use an inferior product only to have someone claim it’s not only great but the best. Well, it’s not the best, far from it, but at the end of the day I don’t think I’ll ever live in the UK again so shrug have fun with your garbage connectors =)

Thanks for posting this, but I have some notes.

His first point is nonsense. The holes are big enough for a screw driver full stop. If I have two screw drivers then I can shock myself. Not only that, its a guaranteed shock because I’m now making a perfect path to earth. Simple fix: dont make the holes big enough for screw drivers. UK plugs are even worse than yankee plugs for this. Aussie plugs fix this problem.

Aussie plugs cover the second problem. The letter nonsense is nonsense. The fuse is dumb, as above, FIX YOUR DAMN HOUSE WIRING. The last bit about your plug falling apart is classic British ideology, stop building things that fall apart.

Its clearly better than EU or yankee plugs, but thats not a great selling point when its still garbage.

Ergh english AC plugs are garbage, built in 13A fuse? Fix your damn power network, Australian plugs are easily better.
