Fine for budget, but not a great experience

After trying this headset on, I realized I wanted a better headset. It was not comfortable for me in my ears. But then, I may be used to using Apple headsets for so many years. I ended up spending a lot more money and getting a Corsair headset with surround sound.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I actually bought another 27" monitor before this one, but it was only 1080p resolution. After using that for a few minutes I knew I needed a 4k monitor. This one was well-reviewed and well-liked and did not disappoint. I read one of the concerns centered on stability, but they must have resolved the issue. This monitor is quite stable on a desk that gets bumped from time to time. The controls were also very familiar as I already use a Samsung TV with the same joystick on the back. The colors are fine, though not as precise as my older IPS monitor. It would have also been nicer to have a stand with height adjustment, but I guess that's what monitor mounts are for.

This headset does its job well. It's not too heavy, has a strap to be handsfree, and fits my iPhone 6 in a LifeProof case. There are horizontal and depth adjustment knobs. There's also a window to allow camera use for augmented reality.
The only thing I would like to have is a button that would allow Google Cardboard compatibility. The build quality is also acceptable, but could be more solid--especially when using the depth knobs.

This thing is great! I personally use a Fitbit Surge and Apple Watch, so I have a basis for comparison. I bought 3 of these for family members.
The Garmin app that connects with these is comparable to Fitbit's. All the info it tracks is nicely presented in the app. The app also lets you challenge other Garmin users just like the Fitbit community. You will want to use the app on your smartphone. The desktop software doesn't seem as reliable.
The screen on the device is decent and the battery will last days before showing you the battery is getting low. The sensors will turn on the backlight when you lift your wrist up for viewing--just like any good tracker/smartwatch. This is waterproof and can track swimming based on arm motion automatically. Unfortunately, you can't currently manually track a swim as you can with a run. The touchscreen also isn't reliable when wet or under water--which is understandable given it conducts electricity.
The VivoSmart HR displays notifications from your smartphone. If you keep the Garmin app open on your phone, it will keep the weather updated on your wrist, too.

The Fitbit ecosystem is really well done. And this is very stylish with the replacement bands. I bought this as a gift for a family member. In the end, I decided to send it back for something waterproof.

I bought the Apple Watch to replace a fitness tracker watch, so my primary use was to track my activity as well as to use it as a companion to my iPhone. While I do miss automatic sleep detection from my old watch, the Apple Watch has otherwise been able to meet my expectations. The aesthetics are also much, much better. The visibility and usability of the screen are a pleasure. But what I like best is the ability to add to its usefulness with the growing number of apps. There are a lot of things that I would still like to keep on my iPhone and not on my wrist, but having a few highly useful tools available on my wrist is great.

What's great about it: Waterproof. Damage proof/resistant. Front mask covers non-screen areas.
What's not so great: Bulky. Touch sensitivity requires harder presses near edges. Requires adapter for headset (included).
Ever since my wife got the iPhone 5c, I wanted to get her a waterproof, shockproof case. He had dropped previous phones and twice iPhones in the toilet (one still worked). She dropped the phone before the case was available for 5c. Fortunately, the front mask significantly hides the damaged portion of the screen. The back also shows the color of the iPhone 5c. Now that she knows her phone in the case is waterproof, she does not hesitate to take it into the shower, wash dishes while watching videos, and she'll even rinse it off when dirty.
The price to pay (apart from the cost) is that you have to use a headset adapter (included) that screws into the case. When not using the headset, you unscrew the adapter and screw the cap on. Another cost is that the sync/charge socket has a cover that has to be lifted up when charging. The case is also bulky and sometimes needs to be pressed a little harder around the edges of the screen.
Make sure you follow the instructions and run the waterproof test before putting your phone inside.

What's great about it: Solid and sturdy build. Simple, stylish, and elegant design. Cable management hides wires. Fully articulating stand.
What's not so great: Fingerprints and dust may collect easily.
This was an easy to put together and solidly built stand. I have no concerns putting a $1500 flat panel on it. I like the cable management system in the tower to keep the cables hidden from view. The mount rotates the TV from left to right as well as adjusts the angle and height of the TV. It comes with two towers: the one pictured as well as one that is as high as the glass top. So you can mount your TV on the wall and just use the glass/metal stand for your components or even a coffee table/end table.
The glass may collect dust and fingerprints. I have a little one that tends to touch the glass and leave fingerprints.

I had a vivosmart for several months, but kept having problems with the screen. Finally Garmin upgraded me to this device(refurbished). The vibration is much weaker than the vivosmart. Is that expected, or is there something wrong with this one as well?

Is Filtering notificaciones an update that we can expect?
I´ve read online in several reviews that is not possible to filter the notifications shown on the smart band. However on the manual online it says that it will be possible (https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/vivosmart/EN-US/GUID-5A95D297-7177-4745-ADAF-AC4855E0B7FA.html) I don´t know what to believe now, but in any case, is this something that we can expect as a software update in the future?
I´m specifically referring to decide which updates are shown on the band, no matter if they are allow on the phone.
Thanks,

Can I use this device while swimming laps or water aerobics?
Yes, it is waterproof. However, there isn't a way to manually track swims, specifically. It will automatically detect when you swim laps based on your movements, but you can't tell it to start and stop like you can with running. It will also continue to monitor your heart rate and activity with the water aerobics.
