The real catch here is ANY of these that aren't pure 20¢ Chinesium will last forever, because you don't exactly have a forest's worth of hair in your nose, nor would you need to go logging in them woods on a daily basis.

If you only have to use it 10-20x a year, for 1 minute, obviously it's going to outlast a pair of clippers shaving whole heads 50 times a day at a barbers, getting turned on and off frequently to change guards and lengths, at that.

An extremely high quality set of hair trimmers may be BIFL even used 6-10 hours 6 days a week, but any will work indefinitely if you use them once a year to shave your head bald for cancer awareness and seldom else.

I feel the same about the Hoka's. My issue with the Doc Martens is there was no half sizes so I sized up and just always felt too big. I still have a pair from many years ago I wore often and recently bought a pair at a thrift store which looked brand new which I will try out.

As a scuba diver I'm really careful about the o ring because the back really could be compromised. That's why G-Shock watches make it so hard to replace the battery and all you need for a Core is a nickel. Keep the oring clean and make sure it's not nicked or dry. If needed, a little silicon oil but wipe all the excess off. Good luck!
