I purchased my Apple Watch a week ago and it’s amazing. I learn something new everyday with my watch. I love tracking my workouts with the workout app. Comes handy with my Insanity Max 30 workout. I don’t have to fish for my phone when I’m busy I can just use my watch to quickly answer.

What can I say? It's an Apple watch. I love it! I use it to track my fitness goals. I feel like Dick Tracey talking on it (a reference I'm sure most of the younger viewers of this won't get .. ) and love the convenience of answering texts without having to get my phone. Perfect! Colorful! Fun!

The Apple Airpods are an amazing product. The only hesitation I had on this product was the price. The ease of use and quality of this product are well worth the price of this item you will get your moneys worth with this product. Though there are cheaper options on the market few compare to this quality product. Pairing your Airpods to your iPhone is a breeze, the integration of Siri, the charging case, along with sound quality that is better than I expected. I would highly suggest that any iPhone user owns a pair of these slick and convenient headphones.

Good, not great

So far I am pleased with my Apple Watch 38 mm, but it does have a few flaws.
PROS: Seamless integration with iOS, feature packed, lightweight (you won't even know it's there), tons of accessories (i.e. bands, docking stations, skins, etc), battery life (so far I get 1.5 days), sweat proof.
CONS: iOS is overly difficult to use. You will NOT be able to just pick it up and go (definitely is a learning curb with this devise), Siri is hit or miss sometimes, force touch takes away from what should be easy functions, smaller than you may expect, EXPENSIVE (everything with is watch that's from Apple is overpriced.
So far the watch is good but far from great. Apple didn't give you anything new with this device. I came from a Samsung Gear S paired with a Note 4 - then S6 Edge and honestly I wanted Apple to blow my mind when I decided to make the switch back to IPhone. I was expecting one or two more features from Apple but got nothing. If you want a watch that works wit iOS and handles notifications go with a higher-end Pebble like the Steel or the Round. If you got money to burn get the Apple Watch, but don't expect it to wow you because it definitely will not.

This smart fitness watch instantly recognizes when you are exercising with SmartTrack, whether you are cycling, running or jogging, and the GPS tracks where you are in real-time. Get help from the on-screen workouts, and let the Fitbit Blaze in blue track your sleep for optimal health.

I've used better trackers

Software issues. I have a galaxy S6 running 5.1.1 and I can't get text message notifications (although I do get calendar and phone call notifications). After running through all the troubleshooting and talking to Fitbit support, they said that this is a known issue and no ETA. They recommended that I upgrade my OS, but my phone company hasn't pushed out an update for me so I can't do that right now. This was one of the features I found to be the coolest, so I'm super disappointed that it doesn't work. If you look at the FAQs and known issues listed on Fitbit's Help site, you'll see that there are a ton of known issues with all kinds of different phones and OS. That's one down sides of buying a new product soon after the release.
The watch though, is cool. There are 4 different clock face options and they display different information - I like that feature. I also love the Fitstar feature. It has a couple preloaded warm ups and workouts and that's really convenient. One thing that I'm getting used to is backing out of "apps" to get to the main menu - you press the single button on the left of the watch. I naturally try to swipe backwards as you would on phones or tablets, but I'm getting used to it. No stars off for that because I think it's a helpful design that prevents you from accidentally leaving a screen.

This is a game that allows for people to build almost anything they can imagine with the use of blocks. This game can be played in many different ways. This game allows you to either build, try to survive from enemies that attack you st night, or just spend time with your friends. This is a good game to play with friends and is a great game for kids and also to play with your kids. Most kids would love this game. The only bad side is that it can get rather boring when playing by yourself for an extended amount of time.

excellent graphics

Overall, this game is very entertaining. Here is a list of pros and cons that I have compiled.
Pros:
1. This game has amazing graphics. Every time I play, I am amazed by them. When I play, I really feel like I am in Sydney.
2. The open-world concept is once again mind-blowing. You can drive anywhere that you want to.
3. It has a massive selection of cars, including many exotic beauties.
Cons:
1. Although this game is very fun, the storyline, in my opinion, gets slightly boring after playing the game for awhile. It is very repetitive. However, I feel like the open-world factor more than makes up for it!
Conclusion: This game is very fun and is a must-have for any car enthusiast!!

Not sure if it was worth the money

Multiplayer feels infinitely the same. Now the campaign is amazing, and I love the modern warfare remaster I can't save how much I loved those. But let me ask you something? How many people do you know buy call of duty of the campaign? How many people do you know finish the campaign? I know some do but lets face is this game is all about the multiplayer. That is where it truly lacks.
I know I gave Battlefield 1 game of the year, narrowly beating out Dark Souls III but not by much. But that has nothing to do with this average review, I try to be as fair as possible. My friends love Call of Duty on their impression are largely the same was mine - it doesn't do anything different enough and feels the same.
Pros
- Graphics
- Sound
- Gameplay
- Campaign
- Modern Warfare remaster
Cons
- Feels infinitely the same as the previous title
- Plays it too safe
- Lacks where it counts which is multiplayer

Experience the unique intensity, precision and comfort of the Xbox One Wireless Controller. Impulse Triggers deliver fingertip vibration feedback, so you can feel every jolt and crash in high definition. Responsive thumbsticks and an enhanced D-pad provide greater accuracy. Plug any compatible headset into the standard 3.5mm stereo headset jack. Works with Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs and Tablets.*

Feels much cheaper than the 1st version!
on November 24, 2016
Posted by: DemocraticUnderground
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros:
-Controller feels even more solidly built than the 360 controller
-If you have a xbox one kinect, it can auto-pair with your xbox one
-Triggers have feedback in some games (mainly in Forza, but it's implemented well- you can feel the car lose traction or tires spinning)
-Comfortable to hold
-Battery compartment is now flush in the back and doesn't stick out like the 360 controller
Cons:
-Still uses disposable batteries unless you buy the plug and charge kit or buy your own rechargeable batteries
-You need an adapter to use your own 3.5mm headset for chat/audio (I personally prefer this to software based adjustment of volume, but worth mentioning)
-Bumper buttons can feel a little hard to press (this is addressed in the updated version w/ 3.5 mm jack)
-To update the controller, you need to physically connect it to the console via USB

Been a Sony user for years. Lots of good things to say about this hardware, but everybody knows that already. I got this for the games not available on PS4, plus I wanted to try something different. Only issue I see so far: absolutely nothing that even resembles a user manual. You're own your own to go to the internet (which has good info, but heck). Also, when I turned it on, I had to download an update. EXTREMELY SLOW DOWNLOAD - took an hour for 3 gig. My system is extremely fast, so I assume their download server is VERY SLOW. Also, the console came with a bundle including Battlefield 1. You must download it. It is 45 gig. Downloading at 5 gig/hour. Maybe I'll be able to play it tomorrow. :(
