I like having a smartwatch to deliver notifications so I don't have to get my phone out of my backpack or pocket. The Apple Watch is still one of the best, as set up is nearly flawless and I've had zero communication issues. It's easy to navigate and is quite intuitive. I think the biggest decision to make when deciding if you really want an Apple Watch is whether you really want to stay that connected and if you want something else to worry about. It requires daily charging (much like your phone) and requires use of another outlet, with a proprietary charger. Forgetting a charger on a trip will render your watch entirely useless.
But if you're willing to put up with that, then this is a great choice for smartwatch (and let's be honest, virtually the only choice for iPhone users).

I always thought of Epson as a printing company. So I was a bit intrigued to find out they were making a running watch. I think the running watch looks good, some might not like it because it's plain and black but that's what I like about it. There's no color screen, which is unnecessary and it does not have a touchscreen (again, not necessary). I assume these latter omissions were to conserve battery life. My big gripe about the watch itself is the length of the nonreplaceable strap, it barely reaches around my wrist.
The buttons on the watch are pretty intuitive. I found it easy to figure out how to navigate the watch. There's a start/stop button, select button, and two other buttons (basically up/down to go through the menus). Again, getting around the watch was no issue, but the app on the other hand...
The app is what holds this phone back. Let me start from the beginning. I charge my watch completely, while it's charging I download the app and set up an account. Then I'm told to update the firmware, which could take UP TO AN HOUR. That long to update ANYTHING is unacceptable, particularly when it's brand new out of the box. Thankfully, it didn't take that long, but I had issues along the way. There's no progress bar for the update, so several times I thought the app was frozen (and one time I left the app to do something else on my phone). After a few hiccups, I decided to just sit my phone down next to the watch and let it update. Finally, after about a 30 minute process it was up to date. But then, the time and date wouldn't sync. I went to the menus on the app (and even the watch) and made sure it was supposed to sync with my phone. But it didn't. Finally I set the time to sync with GPS and that worked. Everytime you connect the watch to your phone, it takes a few minutes to sync. It seems like every menu you go to on your phone (while it's connected to the app) takes a minute to load which makes navigating the app frustrating. Luckily, I don't do it all that often. I run, the watch saves my data and I look at it every now and then.
The battery life is just OK. I turned off continuous HR and the GPS and it lasted two full days. BUT I only went on 2 runs (I used GPS during the runs). To me, this isn't "world class battery life" as advertised. It's not bad, but I expected more, especially given it's limitations as a "smartwatch". (BTW, I didn't expect it to be a smart watch, nor do I want it to be, I'm just saying the battery life should be better since it's not doing more complicated processes as a smart watch).
AS to the smart watch component, you can receive notifications from your phone on your watch, but they're limited. First, that means you have to stay connected to Bluetooth which means the battery drains faster, second when you get a text, you can't read it on your watch. It just says text message received (and it lists the sender). So you have your phone and watch vibrating when you get a notification. Without being able to read it on your watch, there's no point to using that functionality.
As a running watch this is a competent watch. The data is accurate and I've had no issues with using it as a running watch. The first time I used it, it took a second to get the GPS signal, but since then no issues. It finds a signal pretty quickly. The dedicated start/stop button makes it quick and easy to get a run going, which is much appreciated. I haven't used it for other activities so I can't comment on its accuracy when say, biking. The HR monitor is good. I don't think any wrist based HR monitor beats a chest strap, but this is a good alternative if you don't want the additional equipment.
I must also add that this app does allow you to transfer data to other apps (such as MapMyRun and a few others), but I didn't try that out so I can't comment. I don't use other running apps. I used my FitBit before
All in all, this is a good running watch. It's problems are its app (which you can get over, unless you spend an inordinate amount of time viewing your stats within a running app) and the fact that it does nothing to stand out in the crowd. Your likely to lean towards a Garmin because of name recognition, but you can't go wrong with this watch if you need one to track your runs.

I like the Google Chromecast integration with Google Home and I like being able to control things with my phone, but sometimes I need a remote. Don't get me wrong the Chromecast works well and seemless, and while most people always have their phones with them, I do prefer to use a remote. I just use Chromecasts because I'm invested in the Google ecosystem and Google Home.
At the end of the day, if you use Google Services, this is the best (I think only real) option. But if you have no major investment in any other ecosystem, I would give pause to the no remote thing. It's a fundamental change in how we watch TV; easy to get past, but a minor annoyance nonetheless.

I must admit, it was difficult going from Apple iPad screen to the Fire HD 8 (clarity still doesn't compare), but honestly, you can get over that pretty easily. If all you need/use a tablet for is media consumption like streaming shows on the go, reading kindle, reading online newspaper and the occasional websurfing, this is the tablet to get. Best part is the microSD slot. You can put in a card and get the ability to download and store a lot of shows for those time you don't have the internet. If you use Amazon Kindle books and watch TV shows on the go, this is the tablet to get.

This is a fantastic deal for a good mid range DSLR. The lenses are a bit slow, but you can't beat the deal. For those who are new at using DSLRs, this one is pretty easy to learn.

I really really want to become a Photoshop wiz. I like the idea of making my new photos pop. But I was always intimated by Photoshop, so I thought I would give Elements a try thinking it was the "beginners" version of Photoshop. Well, I think it is, but it is still difficult to use for those with little to no experience with any photo editing programs.
After installing the software, you are given no instructions.You have to kind of click around to navigate the menus. What I did is click "on Guided" mode and I was able to edit my photos. The coolest thing I did was Photoshop a face onto another photo. It was surprisingly easy.
Once you run through the guided mode, things get easier. You can also utilize the walk through videos which are helpful, but you're better off going on YouTube and watch instructional videos.
Elements also acts as a photo organizer, but I didn't try it out, all of my photos are kept on Google Photos so I don't need another program to organize my photos. I just download the photos that I need/want to Photoshop.
It's a great, powerful photo editing software. But you must put in the time. If you don't think you're patient enough to teach yourself, this may not be for you. Just know you'll have to teach yourself.

I'm was using Bose SoundSport headphones but I kept having issues with them falling out my ears while working out. And, they tend to die in the middle of a run if you start with the battery level at 40%. I wanted to jump on the completely wireless fad and I was too nervous about the ear bud types, so I was excited to try the "hook" design of the JB Labs version.
First the packaging. It sounds silly, but you can tell how much care a company puts into their product by the packaging. The headphones come in a hardshell plastic case and when you open it up, you have easy access to the vast number of ear tips (they get props for giving you MORE than they should have).
If you're like me and normally go with the default ear tips because you're lazy, you should rethink it. I foudn the default tips didn't stay on my ear very well. I spent some time testing out almost all of the tips and found the ones that worked great. Take your time and try them out for the best possible experience.
That charging case... I was impressed that JB Labs not only gave you a microUSB charging cable, but they smartly designed it to be Incorporated in the case. It literally wraps around the case so it's always there when you need it. Very impressive. The case also has a battery meter on top. Very convenient. The headphones fit in the case and the lid shuts down with a satisfying snap to keep them in place and charging.
The setup was pretty simple. The included instructions are dead simple and easy to follow. I recommend reading them first. You set up one earpiece to your phone and then the second earpiece connects to the first earpiece. After setting it up the first time, you turn on the earpiece you set up first (which connects to your phone and the other earpiece connects automatically).
Once it's set up for the first time, it's pretty easy to use. I love the charging case as it always makes sure your headphones won't die in the middle of a workout. And all you have to do is look at the gauge on the case itself to make sure there's adequate charge.
Now, on to my quips. The audio regularly drops out in one of the earpieces when working out. It's only for a fleeting second, but it's enough to mention a warning here. It doesn't bother me while I'm working out and it could be the phone I use or interference (I Use a Pixel 1). It always reconnects without me doing anything, so to me it's no harm no foul. BUT that might be a problem for others. If I were using these to lounge around and relax and listen to music, then yes, it would be a problem. But for me, I'll take the minor annoyance for the convenience of charging case and no wires. And I must point out this is my experience, it may not happen to you.
Sound quality. I'm no audiophiliac but I can say that these sound pretty good. The bass doesn't resonate quite like my Bose SoundSports but they are acceptable. And I keep going back to the fact that these are workout headphones. For me, I'm not looking for perfect sound quality but decent sounding headphones and are immune to sweat. These fit the bill.
If you are looking for completely wirefree workout headphones, these have to be on your short list. I can't find many (actually any) that have the hook design that are in my humble opinion essential for strenuous workouts. I'm extremely satisfied with these headphones.

I really loved the primitive future storyline. I think it's a refreshing take. The graphics are phenomenal and the controls are tight. The game does a good job of holding your hand when needed, but not being too much. It's a great time (I haven't finished it yet) and I like the simple RPG elements. It's not too overbearing for people like me who don't have a ton of time to invest in games but like to pick up and play when you can.

Lucyd - Lyte Titanium Bluetooth Audio Sunglasses - Starman

These patent-pending Bluetooth frames offer a unique mix of durable titanium, designer styling, optional vision correction, and smart features. All Lucyd frames include a 7-day moneyback guarantee and 1-year warranty against any defects in frame or lenses.
What are the glasses capable of?
That's a seemingly broad question, but they connect to any Bluetooth source device and can play music through the speakers embedded in the arms of the glasses. The sound is good based on the open speaker design, so the sound will bleed a little bit. But overall, I like them.

I don't own that phone, but I don't see why not. Biggest concern is size of the phone and whether it fits into the controller. I use a Google Pixel 4 XL and there's still a little more space for the "arms" of the controller to hold the phone. And in terms of the app itself, you'll need to download it straight from the DJI website (which is the same process for all Androids)
