I had the gear fit prior to this and I really liked it. This watch blows it away. Love all the S Health reminders. Didn't really care for the original band so I got a metal one for it and I am very happy. Get a lot of comments on how nice it looks. It is a little large and takes some getting used to. I like that I can take calls right from my watch, my wife says the sound on a call on my watch is clearer that when I answer a call in my car on bluetooth. Love the 1000's of watch faces you can get. Seems like it will be very durable but I got the the 2 year Geek Squad protection just in case.I have not seen how long I can go before charging but when I charge it at night it is never below 85% battery remaining from a days use so I would say it could go at least 5-6 days before charging. Lots of great information about tips and use on You Tube. Highly recommended

Ice maker is a huge design flaw
on June 19, 2016

from madison, wi
I would run the other way on this one.About 2 years into ownership it started freezing everything on the top shelf due to a design issue. had to pay over $300.00 for repair. That is not the worst. Icemaker keeps freezing up and won't produce ice. Every 3 weeks I have to take a hair dryer to the icemaker to thaw it out. Have had a technician to our house 11 times to attempt repairs. Samsung has no fix. If you want to spend $1500.00+ for a fridge with a lposy icemaker this is the one

Can't get much better

from madison, wi
I now have 2 of these. Bought both of them when they were deals of the day. I have 5 Harmony remotes in all and love all of them. Once you set up your "my harmony" account and get everything synced it is easy to reprogram any of them. I constantly buy new components and it is so simple to add or delete devices. My living room one controls my tv, satelite box, roku, blu ray player, soundbar and chromecast with no issues. My man cave controls tv, blu ray, 2 cd changers, receiver, satelite box and chromecast. It is easy to add activities and if something doesn't work you just hit help and the remote will try and fix it for you. Just found that you can put your own photo on the screen as the background. Pretty cool. Highly recommended.

Didn't think I would use it

from madison, wi
My wife was asking me for an idea for a Christmas present and I brought this up. I really thought it would probably lay on my nightstand most of the time. I have only taken it off to charge it(I get about 3 days out of a charge) It immediately paired with my S6Edge+ Like the notifications, I can send a quick response to a text or reject a call without having to get my phone out. Tracks my steps, let's me know when I have hit my goals, checks my heart rate. Like all the variety of clock faces and backgrounds. Very lightweight on my arm. Normally I don't wear a watch to bed but I like the sleep tracker and it doesn't bother me when sleeping. Now that I have it I don't want to give it up. Highly recommended

Best one so far

Phone size:Just right
Previously had the S4 and this is a great upgrade. Faster, easier to use. I just love this phone, blue color is great. Like the feel of the back, easy to hold. A lot of people say there is not much difference from the S4, I think there is, screen is much more detailed, faster, voice to text and ask google seem much improved. Only thing I am not overly fond of is the charging door, but to keep it waterproof it is necessary. Camera is much better, I was never really impressed with the S4 camera. Highly recommended.

A breeze to install
on August 31, 2011

from madison, wi
Bought this primarily for my Xoom tablet. I got poor reception in my bedroom that is on the opposite end of my house and upstairs from my router. Everyday it would cut in and out continually and even when it had a connection it would only show 2 bars maximum. Plugged in the extender in the hallway halfway between my router and bedroom, hit the WPS button on my Netgear router and the WPS on the extender and 30 seconds later I had full signal in my bedroom. I have also added the network to my Droid X and laptop and netbook. All are much faster now. Literally took less than 3 minutes to get it up and running. Would recommend completely to anyone with signal loss problems.
What's great about it: ease of setup, simplicity
What's not so great: nothing so far

excellent upgrade

I have had Harmony remotes now for about 7 years. I have 2 Model 659's that I use on separate systems. Bought both used on ebay, off button finally quit on one of them. Bought the model 700 on sale, came home logged into my Logitech account and clicked on replacing my remote, took about 2 minutes went upstairs and every command from my old remote was programmed in. I like that when you pick it up it automatically lights up the keys and it is rechargable. I love Harmony remotes and recommend them to everybody that has a home theatre system.. The 1st time programming can be a little tricky but once you do it you can add or delete devices easily and it works like dream. Love the help function, walks you right thru what isn't on or off. Make sure you keep the remote pointed at your system until it goes thru the whole command..put all your other remotes in a drawer and enjoy
What's great about it: Rechargeable, motion sensor backlit keys
What's not so great: 1st programming a little tricky

Bought this to replace my wornout netgear router that I had had for the last 5 years. Easy setup(out of box to connected about 12 minutes) Signal strength is great in 2300 square foot home with 2 levels. What else can I say, it does what it is supposed to do. How excited can you get about a router
What's great about it: easy set up. Performance
What's not so great: nothing

Works great, only 1 glitch so far

Got this for a vacation in AZ. Worked great. Only had one instance where I had to make a six lane quick change during the whole trip. Looked up destinations easily, sometimes seemed a little slow on the fly, but you are not supposed to use it on the fly anyway. Had a Tom-Tom 1st but it locked up and died as soon as I did the 1st "free" map update Like the ecotrip feature, use it a lot. Still working on the understanding the traffic updates, but hey I'm not paying for it. Overall a great product for the money and returning my Tom-Tom and exchanging for this was effortless at Best buy
What's great about it: easy to use, don't need to turn on everytime
What's not so great: graphics on Tom-Tom look a little more high tech
