Timex T5J031 Unisex Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch

I purchased this watch to replace an older Polar heart rate monitor with dead batteries in the chest strap and the monitor. The design of that product required me to send both units in for replacement by a Polar service center. The cost was nearly as much as the cost of this timex heart rate monitor.

I am so pleased with this product. The instructon manual was clearly written and easy to understand. There are just enough functions for me without loading the product up with things I will never use. That makes using it simple and I can remember how to use it without having to refresh my memory by repeatedly rereading the manual.

The monitor is an excellent watch when not using the heart rate features. Best of all I can change the batteries myself when the time comes without sending the thing off in the mail to a service center.

On top of all that the price was reasonable. This is one of those few purchases that exceeded my expectations because everything that it does, it does a little bit better than I had hoped for.

Pebble Portable Rechargable Hand-Held Video Magnifier

Source: amazon.com via eko on Pinterest

 

The Pebble is the newest Portable Rechargable Video Magnifier. It has a clever folding design where the handle can fold flush with the item or unfold and even extend out about an inch longer (for larger hands). Magnification has 3 pre-set settings so you could adjust depending on the magnification needed to see. There are LED illuminated lights that light up the image you are viewing so if you are in a dark lighted restaurant then that is no problem for you and for the Pebble. The Pebble comes with a case so you could travel with it as easy as with a lighted magnifier. There are a few different color modes, there is the regular full color, then there is black/white, and reverse (white on black), and there is an Enhanced black/white, and there is a yellow on blue color mode which is helpful for those who need the blue/yellow colors to read with. The Pebble uses 2 AA High-Capasity Rechargable batteries. An adaptar is included to plug the Pebble in to recharge. The battery life once charged varies depending on the use of the Pebble. The AA batteries do not need to be replaced once they die because you can recharge them, however even though they are rechargable, the batteries do lose their life after about a year. When that happens then you can find the High-Capasity Rechargable AA batteries at a local store (the batteries are not very hard to find and they are not made by the manufacturer only).

Doctor Who TARDIS Projection Alarm Clock

The Doctor is in… especially if you are a huge fan of the Doctor Who series. Well, I am quite sure that you will not find it difficult to wake up from your sleep in order to catch an episode of Doctor Who on TV, but sometimes, getting up from your bed so that you can arrive at your office on time is far more of a Mission Impossible than anything else. Perhaps you would need something from the world of Doctor Who to help you be fully awake, and what better way to do so than with the $44.99  Doctor Who TARDIS Projection Alarm Clock?

Yes sir, you will be able to face a brand new day in style with this TARDIS-shaped timepiece, where you can tell the time after it has been projected against wall or onto a ceiling, bringing it well into the 21st century. In order to up the realism ante, it will flash some light, while TARDIS noises will play for the alarm. Just make sure you have a trio of AAA batteries on hand always to keep this bad boy going, otherwise you will still be late for work as the alarm fails to go off – simply because it ran out of juice. That’d be a bummer now, wouldn’t it?

Withings Wireless Scale WS-30

You know something? Back when I was a kid, I never would have figured out the day would come when computers could surf on this thing called the “Internet”, and that we would be toting around wireless devices everywhere we go. Well, I guess things can change a whole lot in just a couple of decades, and it is going to be an exciting ride to be on this train that is gonna ride for a good half decade more, assuming all goes well with my health before I call it quits in the game of life. Still, it amazes me that something as basic as a bathroom scale would be on the receiving end of WiFi connectivity, no? The $99.95 Withings WS-30 WiFi Scales can be said to be a “sequel” of sorts from the original, where it has obviously gone to the fat house and lost some weight, while being faster and looking all the more fabulous – just like you should, when you have shed off all those accumulated pounds over your holiday feasting.

The Withings WS-30 WiFi Scales comes in a tempered-glass and aluminum body that will automatically record your weight, fat mass and BMI (body mass index) each time you step on it. Your efforts (or lack of it, depending on which side of the disciplinary fence you’re on) will be stored on a secure website, social network or smartphone app, allowing you to access such data at any point in time – as long as there is a decent Internet connection around, of course. Do expect this puppy to be able to keep track and store data for as many as eight users simultaneously, where it will rely on previously recorded data to identify each user. I would assume you would not mind sharing your results over a social network if they have been encouraging, but otherwise, it would be best to keep on working at your fitness regime.

WilloMD Knee Pain

Do you suffer from pains all over your joints? If you have answered in the affirmative, and you have tried just about anything and every possible “solution” out there without any sign of success, perhaps it is time you give the $599 WilloMD Joint Pain Reliever a chance. It is said to offer revolutionary pain relief sans the need for prescriptions, pills or creams. Just how does WilloMD Joint Pain Reliever work? For starters, it relies on breakthrough science in order to reduce joint pain and swelling that are experienced by millions of people all over the world each day.

Did you know that a simple golf swing is able to place as much as 4.5 times of your weight on your front knee joint? That would be equal to 675 pounds of pressure if you happen to tip the scales at 150 pounds. Needless to say, over time, this kind of stress could result in pain and swelling. This is where the WilloMD comes in, where it features an easy-to-use bio-computer with Sensorpeutic technology that will target joint pain. This is no flash-in-the-pan solution, but rather, a result of decades of medical research and development. For added peace of mind, it has already received clearance from the FDA.
