Pricey
Heart rate monitor will fail to deliver a reading, asking sensor to be cleaned. Not sure if it's my skin tone as it has happened across several devices

My affair with the Classic lasted only a day. I ordered it online with excitement but changed my mind when I saw it and the Frontier in person. I liked the rugged appeal better and I also owned a Moto 360 2nd gen with a silver finish.
Functionality, they are the same. I love the way alerts seamlessly turn up. I have squeezed almost 4 days out of the battery. Coming from Androidwear, I was a bit apprehensive about Tizen and the apps situation. All the basic apps (Whatsapp, email, messages etc.) work with the S3 Gear and my S5. I have yet to try Samsung Pay.
Samsung Health is a must have app! It actually predicts your sleep patterns. I don't wear my watch to sleep but I 'don't get a question from the app to confirm I was asleep during a particular period which was dead on!!!
AMOLED display is very rich and detailed. These watches are not huge. I tried the S2 prior to this and couldn't do it. It felt a little silly trying to read messages and email on a 40mm device!
Step counter is very accurate along with the stair counter. They are still kinda hard to get but if you are on the fence about it, I'd say go for it.
Lastly, the call quality is very good can be used as a handsfree device, until the laws change!

We bought the Charge HR Wireless in May and bought this upgrade in October. I like the new charge cradle and the bigger screen which can now accommodate different watch faces. The accuracy appears to have improved, with regards to the step counts. This will be a real winner if the construction holds like the Charge HR Wireless which is an absolute tank in my opinion... way to go, Fit Bit!

I was torn between the T430 and T430s. This was more expensive due to the SSD but I eventually chose the T430 as they appeared to be better suited for more intensive applications. The weight of the T430s is very noticeable and would serve you very well if you are a very mobile individual in my opinion.

Great value and specs. It comes with a backlit keyboard, camera and an i5 processor. Despite upgrading the ram to 16gb and swapping the HDD for an SSD, I still received a whole more value for what it cost (thank you, Best Buy)... the T series are built tough and I hope this lasts. It looked very new out of the box too.

The Samsung Pro SSDs, although pricey, appeared to have great reviews... I took the chance and I am very glad I did. There are obviously many brands of SSDs and I have experienced some that operated slower than expected. It reduced the boot up time from 1:21 to :21 for a Windows 10, core i5 Thinkpad. I plan on upgrading my mid 2012 MBP too. Great product!!!

This was my first time performing an HDD to SSD migration. Cable did its job... I don't know when I may need it again and hence my only gripe about the price. In their defence, I believe the included software is a factor for the advertised price. I had read it (the included software) did not handle Windows 10 that well so I researched alternatives. There's apparently an update to correct this flaw but I obviously did not want to test if it worked.

This worked very well for about a week. It began to show signs of aging very quickly, much to my disappointment. I snagged it on clearance so it wasn't so terrible.

I have an XBR 4 from 2008 when the line up was not as diverse within the XBR group. Sony currently has too many variations in my opinion. There are low end and high end XBRs... needless to say, I wasn't very impressed with this low end XBR primarily due the poor contrast ratios. I have been a Sony enthusiast forever but the brand has changed so much in recent years... time will tell if this pays off.

Bought to replace a television for the kids. HD input is good for price point. Read other reviews prior to purchase but we were not after bells and whistles so ignored. We did, however, purchase with extended warranty for sound mind. If still on fence, go see a demo in store prior to purchase.

Can my Samsung galaxy s5 be paired to it through Bluetooth?
Yes, it can. The initial pairing process is the same for all models (Bluetooth and LTE). You can then disable LTE through airplane mode and enable Bluetooth to use as your connection. Hope this helps.
