    Plastic bins: better than boxes

    Renting bins is convenient, slightly more sustainable, and not once did I miss cardboard boxes.

    The Polar Grit X2 Pro is a smartwatch that feels adrift

    This is meant to be the best Polar’s got, but it has no business being this expensive.

    It’s contract negotiation time at Peloton.

    And three instructors are leaving at the end of the month: Kendall Toole, Ross Rayburn, and Kristin McGee. An official Peloton statement pegs these departures as a “normal and ongoing part of the Peloton process,” while hinting that the company may hire new talent.

    Real talk, Peloton is a media company now and that means instructor salaries are a huge cost in making content. It was only a matter of time before we saw this happen.

    Garmin adds YouTube Music to the mix.

    You do need a Music Premium account, but you can download playlists for offline playback. We love to see Garmin add to the ConnectIQ store, which... let’s face it, doesn’t have the largest selection as far as third-party smartwatch app stores go. Previously, you could choose between Spotify, Amazon Music, and Deezer. (But I’ve yet to meet anyone who used the latter two with the Garmin.)

    Find someone who loves you as much as Peloton fans love Peloton.

    Popular Peloton instructor Kendall Toole announced today she’s leaving the platform. Earlier in April, instructor Ross Rayburn announced he was taking a break. And just last month, CEO Barry McCarthy stepped down amid another round of layoffs.

    Any other company, I’d worry about customers jumping ship. But I spoke with several Peloton diehards and asked about this exact situation. They told me they’re not going anywhere.
