I'm biased to Bitcoin-only wallets. So if money matters, I think you'd enjoy the Trezor Safe 3, and install the Bitcoin-only firmware when given the choice of firmware upon setup.
If money matters less and $200 isn't too much for securing your bag, I absolutely love the
Foundation (npub1s0v…pq6j) Passport 2. It ticks all the boxes for me and has more features that I thought I needed, but have grown to love.
My criteria: UX, Bitcoin-only, expected hardware service life, hardware quality feel, high security specs, screen size, button or input accessibility, software UI for setting up and transacting, air gapping from laptop/phone for added security, level of open source, ease of firmware updates, country of manufacture and other things that increase my trust or joy, and decrease my fear of loss and frustration of tech.
Source: I bought 6 the most recommended wallets to make this decision after wanting to move away from my Ledger (Coldcard, Bitbox02, Jade, Passport, Ledger, Trezor Safe 3, Keystone Pro). I tried them all in hand. I also liked and still enjoy using the Bitbox02, kept as a duplicate of a wallet. I haven't had the Coldcard Q in hand, my test was before that release. Also, the Trezor Safe 5 came along after. I'd love to play with these, but am quite happy at this point with the Passport 2. I was intrigued by the Ngrave, but it was a bit much to toss in at $400. Ask any questions you want. I'll answer what I can of these.
What is everybodys favorite hardware wallet? What do you think the best option is for a non-tech savy boomer?
