Convert almost any electronic device into a smart appliance with the Wemo Mini Wi-Fi smart plug. It plugs into any outlet and lets you control attached appliances via mobile devices.

I purchased this for a walk-in closet with no light. I ran an AC powered light outlet into the closet and installed a 60-watt LED bulb. However, I had to plug and unplug the light cord into an AC outlet to power it on or off. There was no inline switch. I bought this to eliminate the need to plug in the light. We already have smart lighting in our home, so it fit right in. The Wemo app was easy to download and configure. In fact, I found the experience easier than our Hue system was initially. Speaking of the Hue, both systems play nicely together within our home. The Wemo doesn't cause any wireless interference nor is it affected by any despite being plugged into a surge protector directly behind a 60" LED television and sound bar. The only minor complaint I have with the Wemo is the loud clicking noise it makes when it power-cycles. I don't know if that's by design or not but it sounds odd. Other than that, it's been great for the month or so that we've been using it now.

I skipped the first gen Apple watch and never regretted it. I almost caved and purchased a deeply discounted Series 1 this past Black Friday but ultimately passed again. I initially passed yet again on the Series 2 but the watch was subsequently given to me as a birthday gift. So I obviously love it because it didn't cost me a cent of my own money, correct? Wrong. I've tried really hard to love this thing but I just can't because as I feared, I really have no need for it. I thought it might make life easier for times when I'm busy and want to quickly see text messages without the need to fumble with or look at my phone. The screen is small and you're limited to quoted dictation or canned replies. The watch shows photos in messages but the screen, while very nice and sharp, is also very tiny, even in 42mm size. It's the same story with email. If you have perfect 20/20 vision, you'll be fine. Otherwise, it's a struggle at times reading anything longer than very brief messages on the tiny screen. I also thought maybe the watch would help with my walks but once again my phone proved to be a much better walking companion and also plays music and allows me to respond to calls and messages while out walking. While a stand-alone GPS watch is nice if you really want to go out for a walk or jog without a phone, it cannot receive calls, texts or email once it's out of Bluetooth range. There aren't really a ton of useful apps for the watch right now. Even counterpart apps like my Hue app are very limited compared to their iPhone parent apps. Before I knew it, the watch was spending more time in my drawer than on my arm.
On the plus side, the watch is very nicely styled and the sport band is much softer and more comfortable than it appears in product photos. Response among apps isn't lightning fast but snappy enough most of the time. Sound, brightness and clarity were all very good for the size of the device. Navigation is somewhat simple after a bit of practice but there is a moderate learning curve compared to iPhones and iPads. It mostly involves knowing which directions to swipe for certain commands and when to use the button or the crown. I can't really speak on toughness of the watch or battery life because it constantly stayed in my bedroom drawer before I realized it wasn't for me. The battery would last about three days just sitting there but that will obviously vary depending on your use.
I rated the Apple Watch based on my experience and I have a feeling that for a lot of people, the experience will be the same. There will be people who love the watch and have plenty of use for it but for me, it's a want, not a need. I can usually find some way to justify a want to feel better about the purchase but I just couldn't do that with the Apple Watch. As a result, I exchanged it for a different, more useful gift. It was hard to rate the "I would recommend this to a friend" option. I would recommend it only if they had a true legitimate need for a smartwatch and primarily use other Apple ecosystem devices. Otherwise, I'd tell them to really examine their needs and decide if a sports tracker might be a better and more wallet friendly option.
