What's great about it: Some great features, exquisitely geeky . . .
What's not so great: Battery life so-so, some features not there yet . . .
As indicated in my summary, research this tech before you go buy it. Definitely was a good buy for me as I got it on DOTD sale, and used BB points, so it was not a significant investment.
Favorite features:
Discreet reminders are nice for business.
Hands free is pretty useful, but the speaker is a bit quiet.
3rd party watch styler makes custom watch faces a blast, though its selection of fonts, etc. is limited.
Current update allows notifications from most 3rd party apps to appear on the watch.

Least favorite 'features':
Still a bit bulky, and strap may not fit everyone well. (Ok for me...)
No button on left side for southpaws like myself - harder to press when wearing a jacket or long sleeves.
Few options for using watch as input to phone.
Battery needs charged daily.
No calculator?!?!

All told, I've been having a lot of fun with the watch. There's a disappointingly small selection of apps for it, but a couple of them are pretty cool, and 1 or 2 are even useful! ;) Since 2.0 is coming out in just a few weeks, waiting to compare the two is probably a good idea. I'm concerned that with 2.0 being non-Android for the OS, support for 1.0 may have already disappeared, so new apps and/or enhancements to existing apps are likely to be few and far between. With more development, there is some amazing potential - I wish, for example, that the music controller were compatible with multiple players, for browsing of music, art/song display, etc., but it is really very basic. So, if you get one, be sure to get it at a bargain price - I wouldn't pay any more than $150 for one at this point - they may be even cheaper in just a few weeks. But, if you have the dough and want to give one a try, there's a lot to like and enjoy!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Chefman - 1.7L Precision Electric Kettle - Clear
Chefman Precision Electric Kettle: Brew your favorite tea quickly and easily with this kettle, which includes a removable tea infuser so you can make large batches at once. Precision temperature control lets you select the optimal temperature for a variety of different tea types.
Can the kettle be placed in Refrigerator? If so, does pour spout have flap to seal out Refrig smells? I was looking for brewed tasting iced tea.
Max - it has a screen, but not a flap at the pour spout. I've not put ours in the fridge, but I see no reason you couldn't. However, it sounds like it wouldn't seal out the fridge smells as well as you'd like. Functionally it's great, and BB has had it on sale a couple of times for a great price. I did also notice a different brand on another deal of the day sale, but since we'd bought this one, I didn't look closer, so I can't say if it seals the top better or not . . .

will it work with Virgin Mobile S3?
I have a virgin mobile galaxy S3 phone will this work with it???
Anonymous,
As far as I could tell from my research, any Android phone (or tablet/device?) running Jellybean 4.3 or better should be compatible. I am using the watch with a Galaxy Note 2 on Verizon. (Carrier shouldn't matter as the watch is simply a Bluetooth accessory and doesn't utilize any additional airtime/data.)
