Scott’s got a new ride! 🛷 We were surprised this week to see Feldmar’s fearless leader show up at the store on a brand-new 2024 model year sled. Plus, he was in full elf regalia which made things extra awesome. These things are built for speed so there’s not much trunk space, but he had […]

You’ve heard of Elf on a Shelf. How about Scott on a… cot?

There is no such thing as a completely waterproof watch, but water-resistant watches have been around since the 1920s, and many watches today list level of water resistance as one of their features.
