Since I needed something to replace my everyday classic wallet, I chose this pouch from Alpaka. The overall quality is excellent. From the moment you hold it on your hand you can feel that this is not a pouch you bought from Temu. I went for the bright orange color for finding it easy in my bag and believe me it’s the brightest orange you have ever seen! As for what it can hold, there is a plenty of space, unless you carry a lot of stuff.
As far I can see, you can fit a lot of credits cards, ID’s and cash, plus a some coins and why not a key or two, without the keychain of course.
Zips are superior quality and water proof(I haven’t tested it yet, during the summer I’ll give a go).
Overall, I am satisfied with this purchase.

This one just arrived from Japan when a friend of mine went there for a trip. What makes it unique(from my perspective) is that you can’t find it in Europe, Japan only and with a very limited stock.
Yeah, it’s not Apple Watch or other smart watches, but not it’s purpose is not to be one or replace them! You can’t match their LED display, notifications, fitness tracking, HR and other functions, but they can’t match the battery this watch offers: 10 years! :)
Update 28/04/2026: After almost 3 days of use, I can confidently say that this watch is slick. And although I had my concerns about the color(I’m a black watch guy), I am loving the white one. Almost invisible on the wrist.
Price tag: ~6000 JPY (~40EUR)
