There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda.

Oh would love to see more running gear as well ... not sure which community that belongs in but :)

Also, as far as running gear, we're already working with Ultimate Direction, Altra, and Hydrapak. I think we'll soon be seeing Inov-8 here. I'm currently pursuing Dirty Girl, OMM, Nathans, and Hoka. Who else would like to see here?
Running gear ... Nathans would be nice; New Balance, Addias etc come to mind.
