Great smart phone for my son
on September 4, 2020
Posted by: Todd
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this iPhone SE for my 11 yr old. He's been pestering me for a year for one. I finally broke down and got him this iPhone SE and he couldn't be happier.
Easy to use and navigate, perfect size for a kids hand and pocket. I also got him a WSD glass screen protector and a clear Orbit otterbox style case on Amazon which works great together for maximum drop protection.

Great mini streaming box

Posted by: Todd
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought 2 of these Roku Premiere boxes for my dad, so he could ditch cable and start saving a ton monthly.
Easy to setup and use, he is now streaming tv like a pro, at half the price of cable tv with no extra monthly equipment charges.
My dad is 72 and has now problem navigating through the Roku's menu and apps for streaming.

I liked the 1st bag I bought for myself, that I picked up a 2nd one for my son. Great security with included paddeding and multiple storage pockets.
This holds my gaming laptop, charging brick, 2 wireless gaming mice, as well as my Microsoft surface go, and its charger and accessories.
I've been using this for nearly 2 years with no issues or complaints.

Nice Assistant speaker, and clock display
on August 12, 2020
Posted by: Todd
Verified Purchase:Yes
For the money this is one of my favorite Google Assistant speakers, the added clock and temperature display is awesome. The temperature display was permanently added via a update.
Works great with whole home voice commands, plenty loud for its small size. I would say this is a Google Home with a added built in display screen for bedroom use as a alarm clock.

I bought this for my aunt. Its a nice upgrade from her 7 yr old Dell she had that was way long in the tooth. This boot and loads fast with its included ssd. Plenty of storage for OS and photos, as well as many games she plays.
Runs win 10 perfectly, the Intel i3 cpu runs circles around around her old desktop. Definitely a great purchase for everyday web browsing and other simple functions.

Nice outdoor security camera
on August 11, 2020
Posted by: Todd
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really like these logitech outdoor security camera, picture quality is great, the only issue I've run into is they drop wifi connection often and I have a strong wifi signal where both cameras are installed.
The night vision on these is very good, and you an see for atleast a good 150 ft. I installed power outlets in my attic to avoid recharging the batteries which is great. The logitech cam app takes longer than it should to connect to my two cameras.
These can use either 2.4 or 5 ghz wifi signals. I found the included mount to be lacking so I used some other mounts I had laying around and spray painted them to better blend in with my siding color .

Great smartwatch and activity tracker
on August 11, 2020
Posted by: Todd
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my 2nd Samsung smartwatch I've owned. My 1st one was the original Galaxy Active I picked up on launch day, I love the active but hated the small display size.
This Galaxy watch 3 in 45mm is a big upgrade from my previous active watch. My watch I was using before this watch 3 model was the Fossil garret gen 5 smartwatch. The fossil is a great looking watch but wear os software is ok at best, and the watch required daily charging or a bump up mid day which was a pain...
I picked this galaxy watch 3 up new at a discounted price on launch day from best buy with overnite shipping. I do like the larger watch face of 45mm, but I do sort of wish they would have offered it in say a 48mm instead of the 45mm. I find the sleep tracking accurate, which I missed on the Fossil gen 5. The mic on this watch 3 picks up 95% of what I say which is great. And the built in speaker is average, a tad louder would of been great for calls in public places.
So far the only cons is for a fast charging watch, it takes a while to charge fully, especially compared to my fossi, smartwatch. The watch face choices are amazing, whether using Samsung's choices or Facer app. Also the charging speed could use a bump x2 for true fast charging. A larger battery size would of been a nice addition as well.
I can wait for the release of the update for blood pressure monitoring via the watch

Great high end tablet
on January 9, 2020
Posted by: Todd
Verified Purchase:Yes
I upgraded to this Tab S6 from my previous 4 yr old Tab A 10.5 Samsung tablet. Wow, a huge improvement in every single way. The 855 snapdragon processor, 6 GB of memory, Oled screen, 128gb storage, magnetic Spen, usb c fast charging..
I cant say enough good about it, very lightweight. Easily held with one hand, multitasking king. I enjoying drawing and taking notes with Spen. The dual cameras on the rear are great for pictures, even though it's not used often for pictures. I installed a glass screen protector and silicone case. The optical fingerprint scanner works great with the screen protector. The built in wifi is exceptional also, no issues whatsoever whether using my 2.4 Ghz ban or 5 Ghz on my AX router.
Now for my complaints and dislikes. For a flagship tablet as this js... it should come with 8GB of memory, with out having to go up to the 256gb storage model for 100.00 more, or 80.00 more as both were on sale when I purchased this right after Christmas. The fingerprint scanner should be Ultrasonic instead of a optical one, for better accuracy. I don't use wired headphones, but this should have a headphone Jack. But you can buy a inexpensive usb C to headphone Jack Adapter.
The one big complaint I have is I wish the Spen was stored inside the tablet like a Note phone. Also this Tab S6 should have AX wifi6 built in like my S10+ does. Maybe the 5G Tab S6 soon to be released will include WiFi6!
As I said I do enjoy this tablet immensely, especially compared to my last Samsung Tab a. I would highly recommend this Tab S6 to anyone wanting a multifunctional high end tablet.

By Tomas
It does what it is designed to do. I am starting to have problems with it making crackling sounds, as if wires are arcing inside. It does have a 3 year warranty so I will look to get it replaced. Also, i wish that the lights could be dimmed.

Amazon is your place to go, just make sure you buy 22mm watch band widths! You can get replacement silicone bands for 6.00 to 20.00 price.
