Tech 4 O 2010 Accelerator Women s Black Iris Fitness Watch

I love Tech 4 O 2010 Watches! It is very nice and user friendly. I was able to set it up in no time and use it to accurately track my running pathways. It was an added bonus that you can set it up in regular time or military time. This is extremely handy for me since I am a night shift nurse so it doubles as a great watch for work. Would buy this over again if I had the choice!!!



Timex Ironman Road Trainer Heart Rate Monitor Watch

I read all the previous reviews of this particular watch thoroughly before making my decision. I am an active training triathlete and needed the functions provided by Timex Ironman Road Trainer Heart Rate Monitor Watch for all three sports. Everything worked flawlessly for about 3 weeks and then the crystal started to fog up….I waited for a few days and then it got worse and then ultimately failed. I was not quite sure how to proceed. Do I engage Timex or Amazon? Well, the Timex website was not very return-friendly and so I came back to the Amazon website. OMG….this was so easy…I initiated the request for replacement product and had the new watch within about 4 days and then Amazon provides really easy return shipping labels so it did not cost me anything. Once I got the replacement watch, I used the same packaging for the faulty watch and dropped in the box. No fuss, no mess.

So, my 5-star rating is for both Timex Ironman Road Trainer Heart Rate Monitor Watch and mostly Amazon.



adidas Men’s Kanadia Trail 2 Trail Running Shoe

Probably one of the best shoes i’ve owned. Runs a half size small but if you need to, run to a shoe store and try a pair on then order online; cheaper. Very light, looks great, but be careful when it’s wet, I slipped some when I walked into a store after a storm. Highly recommended though!

i bought adidas Men’s Kanadia Trail 2 Trail Running Shoe for myself but was to small so i gave to my son. adidas Men’s Kanadia Trail 2 Trail Running Shoes look great and he says they are very comfortable. the delivery was excellent. i would have given 5 stars but they fail to mention that adidas Men’s Kanadia Trail 2 Trail Running Shoes are no true to size. if you order these get a whole size longer than your normal size.



Red Dead Redemption

I love Red Dead Redemption! After being convinced to purchase it by a Gamestop sales associate I reluctantly put it in and it has rarely been out since! There is so much to do on Red Dead Redemption. You can play poker, have duels in the middle of cities, even rob banks! It’s the wild wild west just like it was supposed to be. With Rockstar creating Red Dead Redemption it is the largest sandbox game I’ve ever played. Also, just like Rockstar you have little side missions like bounty hunting and helping strangers in order to complete Red Dead Redemption 100%. That alone makes Red Dead Redemption at least 30 hours of game play. The best bang for you buck is Red Dead hands down! YEE HAW!



Haier HLT71 7-Inch Handheld LCD TV

Like so many here, I bought this portable tv to replace mine which will become useless in February. Once I ordered it, it seemed like more reviews came out saying they had problems getting it to work. However, for me, all I can say is “Wow!!”

The tv is a perfect size to take with you or, like in my case, have it sit in a corner of the bathroom counter so I can watch in the mornings. It’s thin enough that you could almost sit it flat against a wall (if you don’t use the attached kick stand) and it definitely could be mounted with the right equipment since everything plugs into the side rather than the back. The battery was a bit difficult to get situated because of a piece that you need to plug in but I was still able to do it just with my finger.



Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 Digital Camera

For those users not quite comfortable with extensive manual and creative controls, Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 Digital Camera provides a user-friendly setting that can address a beginner’s comfort level, while helping them evolve their photography skills. For instance, Panasonic’s new Scene mode, Peripheral Defocus, lets users take a photo where the foreground is in focus and background is blurred–or vice versa. This popular effect can be intimidating for a beginner, but in the Peripheral Defocus mode, by simply selecting the objects to be blurred and focused using Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 Digital Camera’s keypad, it is simple for photographers of any level.



Kingston 4 GB Class 4 SDHC Flash Memory Card SD4/4GB

I recently got a new digital camera, the Canon PowerShot SD770It is a great camera, but the memory card that came with it was tiny, and soon filled up with pictures. Clearly, a new memory card was needed.

Kingston has proved to be a reliable brand when it comes to memory. I also recently bought the DataTraveler 16GB flash drive, and was completely satisfied with it so I returned to Kingston when looking for a new memory card.

Holding 8GB, it is going to be a long time before Kingston 4 GB Class 4 SDHC Flash Memory Card SD4/4GB fills up. There is a larger 16GB card, but the price is also considerably higher, and the 8GB does me just fine. It is great not to have to worry about my card filling up, and having to dump pictures at a critical moment in order to take a new shot.

FitFlop Women’s Walkstar Classic Thong Sandal

I have a very high arch and suffer from plantar fascii. I like wearing open toe shoes all year round and sometimes get sick of wearing high heel shoes which have arch support. The fitflops are great if you are looking for something that serves more as a casual sandal or flip flop. I have 3 pairs and wear them in the house, out of the house and when i go out for long walks with my kids. I bought a new pair before going to Disney World this year and wore them all the time and never had aching feet. This is the best shoe for arch support.
