Babbel is great. Made the switch quite some time ago already when Duolingo decided to cater to Vladolf Putler’s homophobic censorship and removed all LGBTQ+ references from their language courses for Russian users instead of just pulling out of the market where they don’t even make any money.

Afri Cola, Fritz Cola and Vitacola all three awesome and from Germany. Don’t know if they’re available outside Germany though, if you find any give em a shot.

I’m afraid most maps alternatives don’t have a review system or when they have it’s lacking reviews due to small user bases. OsmAnd had a plugin some time ago for some open review site but that stop working.

I’m using OrganicMaps and OsmAnd depending on the task, both based on openstreetmaps but neither have reviews.

I don’t know the Instinct 2 so no idea if they got something comparable, but Polar (polar.com) is another company from Finland that makes outdoor smartwatches, maybe you’ll find something there.

I’ve had Helikon Tex pants and didn’t like them very much, I’ll check out the other two though, thanks!

UF-Pro (Slovenia). Not marketed as working but tactical/military clothes, but their clothes and especially pants are the most robust and comfy ones I’ve ever had and they’re available in more civilian looks and colors too. On the pricier side but quality is top notch, will last you a while.
