A nice looking sporty watch

I have been wearing the Citizen - CZ Smart 45mm Unisex Stainless Steel Sport Smartwatch with Silicone Strap in Black & Silver for several days now. Here are my first impressions.
The Citizen (P991 MX1011-05X) CZ Smart Sport Touchscreen watch is a handsome looking watch that is sporty and yet looks very serious with an attractive non-functioning black knurled bezel with 60 minute markings (with the 0/60 at the top) that does not rotate. But it does look cool if you do not need functional bezel capability. The synthetic black strap looks nice and is functional if a bit stiff. The total weight is comfortable. The case thickness is thin enough to not be a hindrance and is an attractive and rugged stainless steel.
This Citizen watch has sensors for - Gyroscope, altimeter, barometer, accelerometer, heart rate sensor, SP02, and an ambient light sensor according to their documentation.
IBM Watson® and NASA's Ames Research Center, AI enhanced algorithms, learns your YouQ to deliver a daily forecast and an hourly Power Score which is a highly personalized indicator of your cognitive and physical energy.‌ It uses Wear OS by Google™ and should be upgraded to the 3.0 operating system by the end of 2023 and is compatible with both iPhone® and Android™ phones.
The screen brightness is not as bright as I would like unless boosted close to maximum. Watch faces are few and not as good looking nor as functional as their non-smartwatch brethren. It is not water resistant.
Final take - It will provide what they say and it is attractive.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The Razer - BlackWidow V4 Pro Full Size Wired Mechanical Green Switch Gaming Keyboard with Chroma RGB is a phenomenal Gaming keyboard. It is physically impressive with great human factors engineering.
The extended full size keyboard (about an inch wider than my other full sized gaming keyboards) accommodates a full 101 standard keys plus additional macro, command and control keys along with the Razer™ Command Dial (8 functions) and a volume roller with 4 media keys. The version I have is the one with the razor green clicky switches which are mechanical and have a nice solid click and feel when actuated. You can also get the BlackWidow V4 Pro keyboard with near silent key depression yellow switches.
It is easy to set up as a primary gaming keyboard with multiple configurations for different games, battlestation style etc. and also can be set of for quick reconfigure to do video editing.
The RGB lighting is AWESOME with immersive underglow and per-key lighting using the Razer Chroma™ RGB controlled by Razer Synapse.
I use different RGB patterns to show me what functional keyboard layout I am using.
Magnetic RGB wrist rest (weighty at a little over three pounds) that attaches magnetically to the keyboard to power the wrist rest RGB very nice and stable.
This keyboard also features - doubleshot ABS keycaps. USB passthrough, 2 braided Type A to Type C cables for standard keyboard connection and USB passthrough. 5052 aluminum alloy construction for durability with a matte – non glare finish. Great satisfying sound profile with pre-lubed stabilizers and 2 layers of internal sound dampening foam (gives a solid sound – not cheap clink, up to 8000 hz polling rate, 5 onboard memory profiles and you can save as many custom profiles to the cloud as you want.
Wish list - I wish they would expand the RGB lighting software (Razer Synapse) to include macOS systems.

What makes the Blue Pure 411a Max an incredible air filter? – many things! For example it has a washable pre-filter which is a very smart way to cut down on dead waste filters (eco-friendly and budget responsible). It includes proprietary HEPASilent™ technology, which combines electrostatic and mechanical filtration capturing at least 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.1 micron in size. In addition the Blue Pure 411i Max operates on low at 18dB sound level, and is never louder than 46dB (not jet airplanes taking off in you room). The new filters (6-9 months) are longer lasting. Using Blueair's new proprietary RealTrack algorithm, you can easily view the most accurate filter usage and reorder before it expires. The Blue Pure 411a Max uses advanced machine learning to adjust its calculations based on its unique environment, it takes into account factors like fan speed, usage time and pollutant levels.
Remember the pre-filters extend the life of the primary filters, by catching large airborne particles such as dust, lint, pollen, and pet hair.
So – quiet, low maintenance and cost effective along with good looks make this a great addition to a healthy environment.

With the Pixel 7a, I feel like I am getting a premium experience for a much lower price point. It has many features that are found in flagship and other more expensive smartphones. Some of the major upgrades for the Pixel 7a include the Google Tensor G2 processor that can handle even the most demanding of tasks, such as gaming, video editing, and multitasking along with implementing the Titan M2 security chip. These so far these chips have only been available in the high-end Google smartphones. You also get a version of the advanced Pixel Camera that is capable of great photos including nighttime photographs. The Pixel 7a has a clean and functional design that is nice to hold, sturdy looking and nice to look at. It comes along with a long-lasting battery that for me lasts an entire day. The display refresh rate is great – giving smooth screen changes.
It would be nice if it had more memory / storage – more than the 128G it comes with. This could be done with fixed internal storage or an SDcard type slot. It would also benefit with having a headphone jack. Charging is on the slower side compared to its flagship cousins.

HP Hearing PRO Self-Fitting OTC Hearing Aids are innovative products that look nothing like a traditional hearing aid. Built to medical device standards and meeting all FDA requirements for safety and efficacy, the HP Hearing PRO features Ear ID self-fitting software and technology powered by Nuheara. Ear ID has been clinically proven to be substantially equivalent to a professionally-fit hearing aid. The proprietary Ear ID software tests the wearer’s individual hearing thresholds from low frequency to high frequency in each ear, then automatically programs the HP Hearing PRO hearing aids for each ear. This ability for the consumer to self-fit through the HP Hearing application, for iOS and Android platform mobile devices, allows a quick and easy acclimation experience for the consumer. The entire acclimation experience takes about 10-15 minutes from unboxing through customization of the user’s personalized profile to accommodate their perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. In addition to the HP Hearing PRO’s capabilities as an OTC hearing aid, this innovative product streams media and phone calls via Bluetooth. The Active Noise Cancellation minimizes background noise for an immersive sound experience when streaming phone calls or music. Additional features include an HP Hearing app for iOS and Android, Rechargeable built-in Li-ion batteries, and Charge Case for on-the-go charging Most importantly, the HP Hearing PRO has been clinically validated through research completed by the National Acoustic Laboratories to provide a 30% speech understanding improvement in the presence of noise using the directional microphone feature called Focus. This is a significant benefit for consumers in restaurants or social situations where background noise makes understanding speech difficult. Now, at the touch of the HP Hearing app, a wearer can switch the directional microphone settings to Focus on sounds towards their front, quickly allowing for immediate improvement in speech understanding.

Control playback and adjust the bass and treble using the top-mounted controls or the dedicated app. Built-in Dynamic Loudness adjusts the tonal balance of the sound to ensure your music sounds brilliant at every volume. Middleton utilises True Stereophonic, a unique form of multi-directional stereo sound from Marshall. Experience superior spatial and binaural sound that flows around you and fills any space.

The Middleton speaker is extremely easy to set up and use. It has both USB-C and aux input ports (one each).
I will probably repeat myself several times but - it has phenomenally strong and clean bass and is loud, with good sound quality, and well-balanced.
The charging seams a little slow but that probably lengthens battery life.
About the size of a loaf of bread and a pound short of a 5-pound bag of sugar, it provides up to 20 hours of battery life. It has a nice app interface that pretty much mirrors the physical controls on the speaker including both bass and treble controls. Repeat - it has phenomenally strong and clean bass
The Middleton embodies the design fundamentals of Marshall’s other speakers. It is rather retro in design and it is beautiful. Because of the rectangular form factor and substantial weight for its size, the Middleton is not likely to get knocked over. If knocked over the heavy-duty rubber clad exterior looks and feels like it is an extremely good shock absorber and survivor. The implemented IP67 dust and water resistance are quite good for a portable Bluetooth speaker. Repeat it has phenomenally strong and clean bass. Multiple speakers and be synced to create a totally immersive experience
I would like to see a microphone for speakerphone/intelligent agent functionality.
All in all this is a phenomenal portable Bluetooth speaker! – it kicks!

Adobe Photoshop Elements is a superb digital photography editor for photographers who don't want to pay for more complex applications, upgrade hardware, or learn numerous and complex digital editing techniques. It provides numerous advanced guidance techniques for aid in stepping through many complex editing tasks using embedded image-manipulation tools. The image catalog provides a powerful search function and includes very functional and easy to use face and geo tagging capabilities.
It has less capability than some of the more expensive editors out there but shines with popular functions that are quite sophisticated, including AI(Sensei) driven task solvers. It is primarily aimed at casual or first-time users that are just getting their feet wet. It can also be an inexpensive way to augment the full-blown version of photoshop on additional computers. It is a one-time purchase – not a subscription-based app, meaning it is yours to use as long as you desire. It is easy to migrate to using the full-blown version of photoshop. You should check the specifications to make sure your equipment can handle Photoshop Express’ needs.
