Accurate, wireless, works well with Garmin apps

Measures all you would want a good body scale to measure. Accurate and reproducible. Links up to Garmin app and account/portal via wifi and keeps track of weight, fat, bone, water, etc %s (multiple people) over long periods of time.
Expensive, keeps only one (most recent) measurement per day per person. Look elsewhere if you have non-Garmin fitness devices

Best fitness watch for fully quantified workouts

There isn't another watch like this in the market today. Measures and dashboards any and all stats that matters (and many which I have no idea how to use yet). Charge lasts all week, syncs perfectly with iOS, displays iPhone notifications, customizable display.
Buttons and screen takes some getting used to. Pricey but worth it!!

Little wonder - look for deals!

Excellent little speaker. Nice balanced soundstage (as much as Bluetooth will allow). Good bass for the size.
Seems to go on deal on a regular basis. $199 list comes down to $99. Awesome value at deal price.
If you use it with Chromecast audio, be aware that speaker goes into sleep mode after a period of inactivity and needs power button to be tapped to awake.

Don't pay modem rental to your cable company. Get this one when it goes on deal. Awesome speeds and fairly decent local management webpages.
Bonus - it lets you see which channels are congested and pick your preferred channel. Very useful for 2.4ghz!

Good while it worked

Unbeatable value! Packaging is nice. Best Buy has thought through the process of getting the TV out of the box. The TV is in a big plastic bag with handles so you can pull it easily out of the box.
No Ethernet port and wi-fi started misbehaving after a couple of weeks.

Got a great deal on these. Warm incandescent color, dimmable. Plays nicely with iOS app. You need a philips hub though! Doesn't work directly on wi-fi

Seamless if you are OK with a hub
on January 6, 2017
Posted by: Optimyst
Verified Purchase:Yes
You need the hub to work any philips lights. I wish the lights would work directly via Google home or apple homekit. No such luck yet. App is decent. It works great once set up. But I don't like using up one more power outlet and more wires. Oh and you need to run Ethernet to connect to your router. Why not wi-fi? Don't ask.

3 QUESTIONS: -Can users with pacemakers and other devices use this scale? -Will it track multiple weigh ins from same day or only once a day? how many other apps can I use to sync data other than Garmin app?

In addition to Garmin app, it allows syncing with myfitnesspal ... haven't checked any others

Can this bulb be used in a 220v lamp? I want to take them to South America. And if yes, will my phone be able to turn it on and off from anywhere on the world?

No it requires 120v if you buy the us model and is a North America screw in type socket. You may be better off buying the right one locally
