I love this watch! It is a breeze to send and respond to texts, as well as make and answer phone calls. It simplifies processing my "to do" reminders. The availability of various watch faces is great, though I would like to see more flexible customization options. Navigating with its interface to Maps as a GPS device is great. I just glance at the watch instead of looking for the phone screen - less diversion from watching the road. Apple Pay is so much more convenient from the watch compared to the phone, too. Plus, I can pull up rewards cards for places like Starbucks and Walgreens on it instead of having to pull out my phone and pull them up there.
I would buy it again in a heartbeat, though I confess I purchased it when it was on sale for $100 off. At that price I felt the value was reasonable. My only complaints are that several of the apps do not work on the phone - disappointing. And the fitness functions are not up to the performance level of my Fitbit Charge - the Fitbit tracks steps and heart rate more accurately. Also I cannot track sleep because the watch has to be recharged every night.

I had high hopes that this would work for me, but it did not. My Raynor garage door opener was too old to be compatible for operating the opener. I could have settled for using it for the "monitoring" function it would provide, telling me in the phone app if my door was open or not. But that was not enough to compel me to keep it. Therefore I cannot comment on the quality of the full array of functions. I would recommend it to a friend if their opener was on the compatibility list.

I like this device for a lot of reasons. It is easy to use - instructions are simple and fitting it on the arm is, too. Integration with the iPhone app works perfectly. The app has useful features. In addition, it will export the readings into the Health app on my iPhone. I can, therefore, upload my readings to my doctor through the patient portal at his office. This is what I was looking for. As a physician myself I have taken blood pressures on patients countless times. I like this device, I trust it, and I would recommend it to others.

Enjoy the flavor of fresh coffee with these K-Cup® Pods that are designed for use with Keurig single-serve beverage machines.
Posted by: Jmontgomery
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was looking for an alternative to Starbucks Iced Coffee K-cups because they have 100 calories of sugar in them. These REVV cups are perfect. The flavor is excellent and it is strong enough that pouring a brewed cup over ice doesn't dilute the flavor. Plus, I can add my artificial sweetener to save on calories. Thumbs up!

This is a good way to get the whole story for the lowest price. They look great on screen and the sound is excellent. When the revisions (CGI creatures, new scenes, etc) in the original trilogy show up I just have to grin and bear it since the unaltered originals are not available on DVD. Such is life. I have enjoyed owning this product.

Place your GPS in view with this dash mount that features a skid-resistant, weighted base for sturdy support and portability when you're on the go.
Posted by: Jmontgomery
Verified Purchase:Yes
A number of reviews I read before purchasing this made note that it would not stay in place on surfaces that were not totally flat (such as a dashboard that is curved). I have a slightly curved dash (2010 Toyota Tundra), so I decided to try it. It would not stay in place when cornering in normal city traffic, so I decided to return it. Also, I was using it to attach a mount (suction cup style) for my iPhone 6 and the mount would not stay attached to the base.

OK for smaller rooms

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this subwoofer to augment the sound quality of a surround sound system in a small home office. The room is about the size of a typical children's bedroom. It is working alongside a pair of high-end Paradigm tower speakers for the front speakers, connected to a Yamaha AV receiver. I would say it performs "adequately" but it does not produce low frequencies that you "feel in your bones." I also think the Paradigms produce almost as much bass as this subwoofer, so it did not add much to the experience. My expectations were probably too high since my main home theater room has a 10" powered Velodyne subwoofer that will rattle your teeth.

This smart Samsung BD-H5100/ZA Blu-ray player supports BD, DVD±R/RW, DVD-Video, CD±R/RW, WMV and JPEG formats and 1080p video output, so you can easily enjoy your favorite media in crisp high-definition.
By connecting this Blu Ray Player to my Samsung SMART TV, can I eliminate having to hard wire the player for internet access?
I am asking this question because my TV is wireless and is part of my home network already but this player is not wireless and would normally need to be hard wired (ethernet cable) to get internet access. Problem is I do not have hard wire access in that room - so again I am wondering if being hooked up to the TV it will have internet access via the TV? I understand if the Blu Ray player needs to update it's firmware it needs internet access and that's why this is important to me.
Since your TV already has "Smart" functions, you don't need internet connected to the DVD player at all for those purposes. Updating the software/firmware is another matter. Connecting the DVD player to the TV will NOT provide internet connectivity to the DVD player. However the player can be updated with a USB drive on which you have downloaded the update from Samsung's support website. So, you are good to go!

Will the coaxial output jack on the Samsung BD-H5100/ZA send video as well as audio signal to an older TV?
Will the coaxial output jack on the Samsung BD-H5100/ZA send video as well as audio signal to an older TV that predates HDMI? I am attempting to replace an early vintage Blue-ray player that has multiple options for video and audio connection (HDMI, coaxial, RCA style video and audio component jacks, s-video, etc.) but I'm finding it difficult to source a new player with that level of connetion diversity.
Upgrading does get sticky, doesn't it? The coaxial output is AUDIO ONLY in digital form. The only video output is via the HDMI output. These sorts of roadblocks may lead you to upgrade your TV or consider running the HDMI output through an AV receiver that has an HDMI IN connection and a legacy video output option such as component, S-Video, or composite - whatever connects to your TV. In the latter case you would also send the audio via the coaxial output to the receiver and route the sound from there.

Can this player play a DVD wirelessly through a Samsung TV?
Negatory. It has only one way to connect the video, and that is with HDMI. You do have the choice of routing the audio via either the HDMI cable or a separate coaxial cable.

Smart T.V. and smart Bluray? Is it redundant?
I have a Samsung smart t.v. already loaded with Netflix, hbogo, pandora, etc.. Is it redundent to get a smart Bluray player that has all that? I want to stick with Samsung for compatibility. What's the benefits,if any,of having a smart player with a smart t.v.? Thanks.
It is redundant, undoubtedly. However, you are unlikely to find a Blu-ray player that does not come with "smart" capabilities. As for any benefits of the duplication, there are few. My wife likes being able to connect to Netflix via the TV without having to bring another device into the mix, thus simplifying the process. Fewer buttons to push! :)

Does this unit support Netflix Profiles
Older units default to the main profile and do not see other profiles. Can I use this unit with other profiles?
Yes, it does. Quite nicely, in fact.

What's the difference between a smart and a streaming dvd player?
In some aspects these terms mean the same thing. "Streaming" refers to the ability to watch content that is downloaded via an internet connection on the TV that the DVD player is connected to. Examples include Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Vudu, etc. To do so the DVD device will have either or both wireless and Ethernet connectivity to your home network (required).
"Smart" means that the player has built-in applications or software that enable the connections to the above-listed online providers. Through the "apps" in the "smart" DVD player you can "stream" online content.
