Decent upgrade from the gear s
on March 27, 2016
Posted by: Crasher
Verified Purchase:Yes
First off when buying this watch understand that its going to be a trade off. Determine if the trade off is worth it. I owned the gear s so this comparison is based off the two.
Pros- the screen and picture quality is crisp. The round bezel makes the watch faces look more like a real watch and less like a mini computer straped to your wrist. The processor is faster and allows updates and messages to run smoother. The heart rate monitor is also more effective and doesnt require you to stand completely still without movement. This is due to the watch having two HR sensors instead of one. I also like how it randomly takes my HR and lets me know where my levels are. The s health works better when linking up with your samsung mobile device. It keeps track of your daily activities and graphs them in a pie chart showing what percentage was spent walking, running, etc. You can now use a keyboard to reply to text messages instead of using preset messages. The mobile updates on the watch are also alot more descriptive. For example the old gear s would show who was texting you but would not show you the message unless you opened it up. Messages now show the persons picture, name and full message. The screen also has facial recognition so the screen doesnt come on everytime you move your wrist. It detects movement in combination with your eyes to determine when to turn the screen on. This is a big upgrade from the gear s which came on with every little movement you made. The battery life is about 3 days if used normally and docking the watch to recharge is a big step up from the piggyback setup on the gear s. Simply set it on the dock and walk away. There are no wires to connect to the watch its self.
Cons-
You can no longer make calls from your watch. The gear s allowed this and the call quality was not bad considering you were talking into a watch. There is also no camera lense on the watch which wasnt that big of a deal because the quality wasnt all that great to begin with on the gear s. One of the biggest disappointing features with the s2 is the watch lacks a sleep tracker. The gear s had a sleep tracker that detected movement and would tell you how long you were asleep and out of those hours how many of them you actually slept. This watch offers no sleep tracker at all and while there are apps you can download to help i have yet to find one that runs smoothly enough to be worth payment. The watch also seems to drop Bluetooth connection and go into stand alone mode quite a bit. Most of the time the s2 just needs to be reset. Hopefully future updates will fix this problem. The leather band that comes with the watch is cheap and wears out fast. Thankfully the band is easily interchangeable with many aftermarket bands and I've found that a stainless steel band looks the best with this watch. I was kinda on the fence about getting this watch and giving up my sleep tracker but at the end of the day im glad i did and have no regrets. No watch will be perfect but this watch is definitely a step in the right direction. At the end of the day outweigh the pros and the cons to determine if this watch is right for you.

perfect gaming headset

I bought the sony wireless headset and while the sound quality was good it was cheaply made and broke within months. This headset has better sound quality in my opinion and the battery life is outstanding. I went 4 days or about 16 hours before i needed a charge. Voice quality with the mic was very clear with no feedback. Its a turtle beach so you cant go wrong. Also this headset is definitely built with way better quality then most headsets.

great watch for first time smart watch buyers
on March 20, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
I read a bunch of reviews with both positive and negative feedbacks regarding the gear 2 and here's my review. First the good, battery life is decent. I always get a minimum of 3days of life before i have to recharge it. Of course this is all depending on how much you use it I.E. playing games and such. Charging is usually complete within an hour on a dead battery. Having the feature to ping your phone if you misplaced is also nice. There are countless customizations for the clock including design and background color or you can chose to put a photo as a background. Theres a sleep mode on the watch that works really well. When in sleep mode the screen is turned off and will monitor how long it was in sleep mode and how many of those hours you were actually asleep (motionless). The real time updates are a nice feature. Every morning i woke up it would tell me my travel time to work. And surprisingly enough it was fairly accurate. It went as far as to tell me if there were accidents on my route. Of course you have to be linked up to Google+ to use this feature. The watch has a built in speaker so you can make calls from your watch. At first i thought call quality would be garbage and that i would have to hold the watch to my mouth when talking and look like a weirdo but that was not the case. Call quality was actually very decent. I would be driving and have my hands on the steering wheel and i was understood clearly when talking. The price tag of $300 has alot of people on the fence. This is my take on the price. I love wearing watches and watches are not cheap in general. I own fossil and citizen watches and they generally cost $400 so buying a watch that did a whole lot more then tell time was a no brainer for me. The features are almost endless and would take to long to go through them all. Some of the downfalls of the watch that i noticed were for one poor picture quality from the camera. The only nice feature of the camera is any video or picture taken is automatically saved on your phone. Also the watch uses uses tizen for app management. What this means is you cant use Google app store to add apps to your phone. The apps samsung provides arent horrible but there not great either. I dont really find this a big issue seeing as how the phone does alot already. Everyone once and awhile it would crash and shut off but it would happen maybe once every 2 months or so. Not really that big of an issue. Over all this is a great buy no matter what your plans are. If your into working out this is perfect cause it tracks your heart rate,steps,and calories burned and stores it on your phone. It also allows you to scroll through your music without touching your phone. If your just an everyday go to work and come home kind of person then this is great for you too. With traffic updates to and from work. Sleep pattern analysis so this way you can adjust your sleeping for big meetings or projects you may have. And news and financial updates. This watch will adjust to whatever lifestyle you have. Its alot to take in so dont get discouraged or overwhelmed if you buy one. It takes a little bit to get used to. Also very important make sure you buy the warranty. I have owned my watch for 3months with no problems but remember its an electronic and with electronics there are never any guarantees.

Sony PlayStation VR:Immerse yourself in a vivid virtual world of gaming with this Sony headset for the PlayStation VR. Its 3D audio technology makes sounds sharper and clearer, while the advanced VR display creates an incredibly lifelike gaming experience. This plug-and-play Sony headset is fully adjustable for optimal comfort, even after wearing it for long periods.
Will there be any safe guards in the Device/PS4 and or in games that will prevent Prolonged use of the VR Headset ? What was there testing structure to determine safe usability of the Device ?
As far as i have seen and read there is no current safeguard for prolong use. Personally i dont see sony adding any for a few reasons. One, it helps limit liability to sony and two, adding a safeguard such as an auto shutdown after so many hours of usage is going to hurt sales seeing as how most consumers prefer to have full function and control of such an expensive device. For me personally anything over a hour of use and i start to feel sick.

Bring the power of Google directly to your fingertips with the Google Pixel. A large 32GB of storage keep data secure, while unlimited cloud storage transfers data as needed, and it's completely automatic. The large 5-inch screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to ensure the Google Pixel remains scratch-free.
Is this version of Google pixel phone a unlock version and will it work in a country like Malaysia ?
It comes unlocked but you need a Verizon sim card to swap over. Simple take your old sim card and install into the pixel and your ready to go.

For example if you sync it to your phone you can go back and see how you did last week compared to your current week.

does this watch work well while weight training as far as counting calories burned and such
It will give you calories burned no matter what you do. However i do not how accurate it is for weight training. I personally use the samsung gear 2 with my samsung s health because the s health has an option for weight training which allows the watch to better track your results. The pre sets make for more accurate results. But yes the fitbit will work i just dont know how accurate it is for weight training.

Fitness
Does this track activities like riding a bike, playing tennis, etc?
It uses presets to track your activity and determine what is optimal heart rate in relation to the activity your doing. Currently these are the presets available on the watch- running, walking, cycling, hiking, treadmill, eleptical, step climber, and exercise bike. If you have a samsung moblie device with s health it will link up and keep track of your progress. The watch also knows when your being lazy and will definitely remind you to get up and move. It almost makes you feel guilty about it.
