Pentel Pocket 'Chinese' Brush Pen and 2 (FP10) Black Cartridge Refills

Pretty good
Pros:
1. The brush nib is so accurate to use. I didn't think it would be able to produce thin lines but it does. I've used this only a few times so I can't comment on how well the brush is but so far, it's doing a good job.
Cons:
1. Colour output isn't as dark as I thought it would be. It's a bit gray. Not sure if this is the paper im using (rymans 200gsm)
2. This may or may not be a con depending on individual preference, but this pen is incredibly lightweight. It's just all plastic. Personally, i prefer it to have had some weight to it to make it feel a little more sturdy and to be honest, to not feel so cheap.
3. Pricing - it was almost £8 and came with two ink cartridges. I feel like it's a little bit expensive, as the pen itself, despite having a good brush tip, feels cheap.
I like it, I'd give it 3.5 stars, it would've been 4 had it had some weight to it. And it would've been 5 if the colour was more black.

Decent watch
It is pretty expensive, should be £80 max. That's because it has an e ink display and the bezel looks cheap. The strap is very good quality although it picks up all the dust, but it's nice and flexible and very comfortable to wear. I have if in white and it looks really cool, people confuse if for the apple watch. When I first saw it I wasn't too keen on the appearance but it looks geek chic, I love i now. However the bezel should have been stainless steel, not the dull grey plastic type thing, especially considering the price I'd have expeted it to be made of better quality materials. It functions very well, I receive all my notifications, there's different vibration settings, there's a quiet mode which I turn on at night. I use the watch as my alarm and now I no longer need an annoying alarm playing on my phone to wake me up. The battery life isnt as long lasting as I would've liked, as if last almost 4 days, but I expected an average of 5, however it depends on how much it's used. I love the variety of watchfaces, its easy to read, although in dim settings I need to press a button for the screen to light up as otherwise the screen can be read. It tracks my steps, I use it to control my music, and I've written my shopping notes and reminders on it too. Everything works well, but the buttons are clunky. I can even use the phone in the shower, and just wash if if it gets dirty. It's a very convenient watch that provides all the notifications and works well. On the odd occasion it's turned off by itself randomly, but other than that it is reliable. I love wearing it, I never miss any notifications now and I like that I don't have to charge if no more than twice a week.
