I have a G-Shock G-lide from 25 years ago. Still wear it to this day. Had a few watch collectors offer me money for it. Will never sell it. Too many memories.

Reply to Got given this backpack when I was in school year 7 (age 12) I’m now 29 and have it’s showing no signs of failing other than fading ( was originally black) . Couldn’t recommend this backpack enough. Brand Lowe Alpine by elysianfields101
Back when they were made to last. Now they are a planned obsolescence brand.

There's a huge difference. Wear and tear are not usually covered in warranties. You got lucky.

Reply to Another Dakine backpack! I begged my mom to buy, I think it was like 80 bucks 10 years ago. It even came with a pencil case that I still use! It's the only backpack I own. I use it for college, vacation trips, groceries etc. Looks brand new, only had to re-sew part of the zipper a couple months ago. by StarShoot97
Dakine are amazing. I have a couple of their travel bags and have been exceptionally happy with the construction of them.

Reply to Sorel Arctic pack boots by devolution9
"Made in Canada" ... they'll last.
"Made in China" ... after one winter of mild use the rubber will start cracking on the side where it creases from walking, and the sole will separate from the boot.
I speak from experience.

Sorrell are absolute garbage now. Had a pair that barely lasted one winter before the rubber toe area started cracking (where it creases from walking). Bought at the end of a winter. Worn the next winter so they were not covered by the 12 month warranty. Got to love that 12 month warranty on a pair of $160 boots. Especially considering they were worn no more than 100 times.

You either push too hard when brushing or you should change out the brush a lot more regularly. That brush head is doing absolutely nothing for removing tartar.

I was going to suggest a G-Shock. I've had mine for 25 years and it's still going strong.

Patagonia Workwear line has one. I bought it and absolutely love it. Will last my lifetime and comes with their "ironclad guarantee" ...

This is 100% not true in regards to Patagonia. You can read all about their philosophy on clothing production on their website. Please stop spreading untruths.

I would steer clear of The North Face at all costs. I just had a horrible and frustrating experience with their warranty for a zipper failure on an expensive jacket. Because I can't produce a proof of purchase receipt, they will not honor the warranty and put the repair bill on me. Patagonia have a stellar "no questions asked" "Ironclad" guarantee to fix/repair their products for free for the lifetime of the product. After my terrible experience with The North Face, I will never buy their expensive clothing or gear again.
Edit to add ... I'm an avid outdoorsman and have a lot of gear that gets very well used. Patagonia have repaired numerous items for me. It has never been a problem and I have never been asked to show proof of purchase.

Take a look at the Patagonia "Workwear" line. It's amazing ... I have a few of the workwear items and love them.
