Love It!!!

This FireTV is a must have. If you use FireTV daily, then get this. If you use it infrequently, then get the Fire Stick. The fireTV has higher capacity, allows LAN connection and WIFI and has a memory card port if you like to download or need more space. I've dropped cableTV for almost a year, and this has saved me hundreds of dollars so far.

This charger works great
on July 28, 2017
Posted by: Vicki
Verified Purchase:Yes
This charger works great...I probably wouldn't call it a fast or turbo charger... as charging through a turbo cord directly to the charging port would actually be the fastest method. I love the stand on this, and there is not really a guessing game when it comes to where to place the phone for a positive connectivity on the charger. The charger / phone will warn you I the battery is getting to hot and it will stop charging.
I also have a large magnetic strip placed inside my OtterBox toward the bottom of the phone for my car magnetic car mount. With this strip installed, the charger still recognizes the phone and charges it. I'm sure the connection would be cleaner without the magnetic strip, but it's a compromise I'm willing to take to have both functions.

This is my second OtterBox case... my first one was on my previous phone, a Motorola MAXX... even though it bulks up the phone slightly, it has saved my phone numerous times when I've dropped it from waist height. The Samsung S8 is even more fragile than the MAXX, so I made sure to get an Otterbox. The phone has managed to do some flips and fly to the ground from table height... and the phone doesn't have a scratch. I love how the charging port and headset port is covered to prevent debris from trickling in. I also love the responsiveness of the buttons when I press them. Holes align perfectly... no complaints...I love it. I do however wish there was a kickstand of sorts if I wanted to watch movies on it on the fly.

Unlocked is the way to go...
on July 28, 2017
Posted by: Vicki
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my first unlocked phone... and man... this is the only way to go. My wireless carrier is Verizon, and I hate the restrictions and bloatware that automatically gets attached to a Verizon phone. I've had to root my previous phone just to rid the bloatware and increase its capabilities. Well... with this phone, I don't need to root it. This is also my first Samsung phone...I came from a long line of Motorola... and I just love this phone. It's fast, the display is BEAUTIFUL, 64GB memory with expandable capabilities...who's going to complain??? Unless you are still a child and require a baby phone (a.k.a. iPhone). Bixby voice just launched last week... and I'm still getting familiar with it and all it's capabilities.

This watch is awesome!!!
on March 17, 2017
Posted by: Vicki
Verified Purchase:Yes
I came from wearing a Moto360 (1st gen) for about 18 months. The battery was dying and it was time for a new watch. I was ready to invest in another Moto360 (2nd gen) watch, but found out Motorola was discontinuing their Moto360 lineup. So I researched the Samsung smartwatch lineup and was pleased to find out that the G2 and G3 does not require the wearer to own a Samsung phone to pair with the watch. After wearing this G2 watch for several months now, I love this watch. I love the size (the G2 fits a female's wrist A LOT better than the G3). I love the battery life...its about 36 hours long and it doesn't Take long to recharge it. The included charging dock is magnetic, so the watch is sure to connect correctly for a proper charge. Samsung has an app available on their website that gives you the ability to customize your own watch faces... which I've made several. The Samsung Fit app is easy to access and provides great details. I also love the timer and stopwatch mode which I use frequently. Something I like about the stopwatch mode that's on this G2 vs the Moto360 (1st gen) is the screen stays on while the stopwatch is going until you stop it. Whereas the screen on the Moto360 automatically goes off after 10 seconds or so, and when I want to stop the timer, it would take an extra several seconds for the screen to respond in order for you to stop the stopwatch.
This watch is not an android wear watch... it has it's own operating system, so applications and watch faces are not as readily available as an android watch or apple watch.
I wish Samsung offered smaller faced G3 watches that fits women or smaller wrist users.
I also wish the G2 had speakers, if I wanted to play downloaded music from the watch.

Works as described. I purchased it for those times when only a hardliner connection is available. There were times when I was setting up a new router or modem, and the only way to set it up was to connect it with a hardline.

Sticks out too far

The USB charger works, however, it sticks out of the power port / cigarette lighter port too far for me. It just wasn't appealing to me.

Is there monthly fees to use the Amazon box? and if so how much?

No, there are no monthly fees for the box alone. If you are already an Amazon Prime subscriber, you can watch whatever they have on Prime for free or go al la cart. There are apps you can install for free, such as particular broadcast channels like ABC, FOX, NBC, CW, etc and watch all that for free. There is Netflix, Hulu, CBS All Access, HBO, etc all avail for subscription if you like.

Can it pair with fit bit users to compete in challenges?

No. Fitbit uses their own operating system on their watch. G2 is a Samsung, which incorporates the S (Samsung) Heath app. And you can challenge other users who use the S Heath app... which displays a graph between you and others you challenge.
