Added this to my existing Phillips Hue system, controlled by either phone or Amazon echo in my case. Easy to setup. My original two light bulbs are about 3 years old now, so I can trust their lifespan will offset the extra cost.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Part action RPG, part RTS, part city building sim, it has something for everyone. The only downside is that Studio Ghibli wasn't involved in this game like the first, so even though the art style is the same, it loses some of the presentational quality with a lack of animated cutscenes and voice acting. Players of the first will notice, but if you haven't played the first, then you would be very pleased.

This has a lot of uses. Can get general info, news, weather, traffic, sports with just a question. Can handle reminders and multiple timers. Can stream music and radio stations (weak speakers are the only drawback). Can help control smart home items like lights and thermostats. Many uses, should get good mileage out of it, if you commit and go all in.

Precessed this while it was on sale, for use with my Nintendo Switch. So far, I have no issues, you basically set it and forget it.

I've enjoyed my first foray into smartwatch ownership so far. I've read and researched reviews, and everything's met my expectations so far.
I get over two days use between charges - I really only wear watches when away from home. I've seldom used the voice commands, but they work every time, with the occasional hiccup coming from my car stereo causing my watch to "listen" and try to respond. It has a built in fitness suite of apps, and you can use the more popular fitness apps along with it as well. My favorite feature has to be the customizable watch faces. Even using the stock faces, you can change the background from light to dark, and change the accent color. That way, you can match your watch to what you're wearing!
I'v only had ownership for little over a month, and ran into my biggest issue - my watch has developed a crack on the underside of the watch. After looking at articles trying to pinpoint the issue, I made a concerted effort to take care of the watch. And it still cracked. The Achilles heel happened to be that of all the fine craftsmanship, the underside is plastic(!). So it cannot stand much pressure from the point where the band connects to the watch. I really hope they address that with the next version.
All in all, I still like the watch. Its not a necessity, but a good accessory for your phone. Now I'm off to try to get this thing replaced...

I've read plenty of reviews from other sites that slam this product, mainly that it fails constantly. Some have said that they ran through 4 in a year. I'm only a month in so far, and it's working as advertised. If you're concerned about the band failing, best buy offers a two year replacement plan for about $12. My only issue so far is that it sometimes doesn't track my steps at home - I try to walk lightly considering the neighbors below me.

The band has a rubber coating. There is a plastic cap that covers the part that plugs in, but I'm not sure what material it is specifically.
