Polar Running Watch no Heart Rate Mon

Verified Purchase:Yes
Started running a few months ago and initially I kept track of distance with my Iphone Nike Run app. This worked well initially but as I got more into running I wanted additional information, like cadence, pace, speed, etc easily readable in my wrist. The Polar watch does this and more well, I wish it had a built in HR monitor and the sync with the app was easier or automatic; but alas, I got it for $150 bucks and a unit with all the bells and whistles I want would run double that amount. So for the price, this watch gives all the running information I need.

Capture more of your surroundingswith the GoPro Hero session. The Superview modes capture more above and below the focal point, providing wider and taller images. Auto Image Rotation captures right-side-up footage, even when mounted upside down. The one-button control and smaller, lighter design make the GoPro Hero session a versatile camera for your adventures.

Great quality in a small package

Got this for my trip to Costa Rica. Took it to the beach and some waterfalls. Good quality video with a camera you can take anywhere.
Initially, I was afraid that having only one button would make the camera difficult to operate, but found it worked great. The one press on/record feature did its job. Another press to stop/turn off was a great battery saver. I dont usually take pictures with the action camera, so I didn't have to fumble through the menus to switch between film and pictures.

These are good economy speakers. They are not audiophile quality but they do a good job and for $19, you can't be too demanding. I'm not afraid of taking these anywhere, they are rugged and have music controls (RR / FF / Pause / Play) which are very convenient while on the beach. My 12 times more expensive Bose Soundlink 2 doesn't have playback controls.
I still need to try the powerbank feature, I'll do that this summer as I plant to take this on vacation.

works well until it doesn't, that is for 2 weeks

So I got one of these about 3 weeks ago. Straight out of the box it worked fine; but did not charge. Took it back to BestBuy where they exchanged for a new one. This review is of the second one I got for my runs in a track near my house. I run about 3 miles 2-3 times a week for about 30 min, so a waterproof/sweat proof Bluetooth headphones was super important, also important, the ability to stay in my ears.
The good:
1. light weight
2. fit comfortably in my ears and the ear hooks keep the buds in place.
3. gels in 3 sizes. the one I picked fits good and keeps outside noise to a minimum, while keeping the music clear.
4. Great sound, not as good as the Beats PowerBeats wireless ear buds, but those are $200 and these were less than half.
5. Charge lasted me 3-30 min work outs. charges fast.

The BAD:
I've had this set for about 3-4 weeks now and the unit does not power anymore!! They started failing last week during a run and I was music less for about half my run! :(
This issue is a deal breaker for me, I'm taking these back to the store.
All the pros go out the door if you can't power the headphones.

Summary:
Great set if you don't exercise with them. Not good if you plan to use them while sweating. In all fairness, I've had two other Bluetooth headphones that I used for running, they also gave me problems powering after a few uses. I think I might stick to the more reliable wired headphones. I think sweat, plus condensation from using outdoors then bringing into the car or house contribute to Bluetooth headphones demise. My wife has Beats wireless that she inherited from me, those have not failed. The Beats may have better water proofing or it may be she doesn't run/sweat as much as I do. Good thing I bought those with my AMEX which gives me an extra year of warranty.

this little keyboard is light, easy to handle and works great with the PC I have connected to my TV. I like the right click mouse placed in the top left corner of the keyboard which makes it easy to navigate cursor, hold the right click button; and hold the keyboard at the same time.

i returned a 120 gb drive and got this puppy to speed up an Intel I5 based system that was struggling with a physical drive. I opted for the larger size to accommodate 2 OS's, MS W7 and Ubuntu. The computer now flies! Makes no sound and battery last a tad longer.

This is the second iPad Air 2 we get for the family. This one replaces an old iPad 2. I just love how easy it is to integrate with the rest of our Apple devices and how painless the migration of information from the old to the new tablet worked. The extra storage is a welcome benefit.

Stopped working 30 days after purchased

I got these Bluetooth to keep me entertained during my runs. I do about 3 miles per run and 3 runs per week more or less. These were a great fit, the wings kept the buds in place even though they were a little heavy than other buds I've had, probably due to having the electronics and batteries in the buds.
I also liked the magnetic feature to keep the buds from falling. What I did not like: 1. connecting a charging cable was not comfortable since the port cover gets in the way, it should pivot; 2. The wings provide good hold I my ears but they don't held well to the buds, they fell twice while being carried around my neck while held together by the magnets, the buds need a grove to keep tuber wings from sliding off the buds; 3. The buds died at the 30 days old after 10 runs or so. I sweat a lot while running and thus the reason I got these buds. I could have lived with the other dislikes but I need reliable gear; So these were returned at Best Buy with no problems. I'm trying JBLs now. We will see....
