Best all around smart watch for the iPhone
on April 16, 2021
Posted by: SouthbayIon
Verified Purchase:Yes
Best smart watch available in terms of apps and core functionality. So much faster than my old Apple Watch 4 launching apps. Screen is beautiful and cellular is nice when going on a run or to the gym without my phone. Battery is average and not much improved from previous Apple Watchs I've owned, lasts a full day but no more than that. Screen seems more responsive to touch when wet which is nice when swimming or going to the beach.

Have always been a fan of the Otterbox cases for my iPads but had never bought a case for a phone. This case is perfect for the Samsung S20 ULTRA. Easy to grip, super durable and protects the phone and delicate camera backing very well.

Poor design wirh camera exposed

After 2 weeks of use on my S20 Ultra and not even a drop of the phone I have a hairline fracture / crack on the exposed camera element. Normally a fan of Tech 21 cases but this one is a complete fail and I will be looking to return the case and have an insurance claim already going for my phone.

Super fast reliable wifi

Just picked up Eero pro for my house swapping out about a 3 year old Orbi system. The Orbi was giving me issues with stability and performance of video conferencing, which was affecting my work from the home office. The Eero was super simple to setup and had some great checks and balances on the placement of the units to make sure you had things optimally placed. I recommend the Pro offering as you get Triband across all three units in the bundle and each unit had 2 x 1Gbps ethernet ports. I also like the app as it tells you when devices join your network through notifications. Since changing to Eero stability and performance have been excellent. I also just bumped my internet up from 100Mbps to 500Mbps and performance has been good getting about 200-300mbps throughout my 2000 square foot house. The units being less intrusive than the Orbis is also a plus as I can place them in more open areas of the house to also optimize performance.

Best iPad yet

Love my new iPad Pro LTE for reading, movies and staying connected while on the road. Great build quality with real fast sign on with Face ID. This is my first iPad with LTE and I have to say I’ll never go back to just WiFi. Super convenient having LTE built in to check work email or just enjoy a movie or streamed tv while on the road. Screen is beautiful and easy on the eyes, recently subscribed to Apple News+ to get even more value out of the iPad as my primary device for reading.

Great smart watch option for Android
on November 28, 2019
Posted by: SouthbayIon
Verified Purchase:Yes
Since making the switch back to Android I have to say one of the things I missed the most was an Apple Watch like option with a vibrant screen and LTE functionality. I've been using Garmin Fenix series for my hikes and runs but the watch was just too bulky and not aesthetically pleasing for casual wear like the Samsung Active 2 LTE. I'm about a week in with the watch and have to say I'm very pleased with the battery life, call and txt options when my phone isn't around and some of the fitness functions that are automatically detected such as walks and runs. I also bought a sport band although the band that comes with the watch is is nice too. To get accurate heartrate measurements make sure the band is snug on your wrist and I didnt tighten it enough when I first got the watch. Overall a great smart watch option for Android that packs great functionality and features into a nice looking package.

Never hurts to have an extra sim card

Bought an additional Verizon Sim card for my Samsung S10+ for when I travel internationally. Never know if you will need to replace a phone and sim card while on the road. These work great and make recovering your phone when not in the states super simple.

I have an EERO Pro system with two beacons, I want to add two more beacons, which units do I need? Will any ERRO beacon work with the PRO system?

I would would stick with any of the Triband beacons offered to ensure optimal performance.

When will this be back in stock for Verizon users?

In stock now and on sale, get the unlocked version and activate on Verizon like I did. Process was super simple when setting the watch up through the Samsung Wear app with no need to call or have the phone activated by a Verizon or Best Buy associate.
