Ipod Cassette Adapter - cassette adapter, ipod cassette adapter


I picked this up at Walmart for fairly cheap since my original cassette adapter was starting to break down. I was impressed at how quiet it was in the tape deck but then when I started listening to music, I noticed that everything sounded distorted. It has to do with the resistor values in the adapter, so I am going to swap out the resistors with the ones from my old tape deck and hopefully that should fix the distortion problem. I would recommend looking for a better tape adapter. Griffin Direct Deck Universal Cassette Adapter for MP3 Players (Black)

This thing destroyed my delco car stereo. It went in, and the stereo went on an endless rewind which made functioning impossible. It also wouldn't eject. To get it out, I had to destroy both the item, and damage the (no longer functioning anyway) car stereo. Cost me $100 for a new stereo. It would be more fun to inject beer into your stereo. The ensuing electrical fire might be fun to watch, and you won't be cursing "griffin" (whoever that is) for two hours, trying to get beer out of your radio.

I bought this product at target for the aforementioned price and it has lasted me for over a year...sure, I have to rewind it occassionally (not sure why, but I do) then it continues working for another 6 mos. until I need to rewind it again.

I ordered a Coby cassette adapter and they sent me this Griffin model instead. When I wrote the merchant back they told me to keep it and they would refund my money...Huh?.. I just want them to send me the model I ordered. The Coby has a replaceable cord and from past experience, it is always the cord or the jack that goes out. Anyway, until they send me what I ordered or refund my money, I figured I'd try out the Griffin anyway. I knew from the reviews that this thing was not going to work well. I was getting sound only from one side of my stereo and so I wiggled the jack and the sound started cutting in and out. I could never get a good clean sound from it. Junk for sure.

Horrible quality! After months of wiggling the cord to get it to play through both the left and right speaker at the same time I have had it! I yanked it out and was about to trough it out the window but then couldn't do it. I didn't want to litter. The wires inside are soooo brittle. Boo on this cheap piece of crap!

PS I got this at Target too.

I wish that I would have read these reviews before I brought this product from Target. I have had cassette adapters before that produced a sound quality superior to that of an FM transmitter. I tore the packaging off and immediately threw it away. I was unaware that the quality of the Griffin Cassette adapter was inferior to that of any product that I had used before. The sound only came through one side of my car and I found myself sticking my finger into the cassette slot to wiggle the tape around. This would produce a better sound for about thirty seconds and then I would only get sound out of one side of my car again. Total piece of junk. Im going to throw it away before it does any damage to my player. I wish I would have kept the reciept and the packaging to return it.

I've bought this cassette adapter multiple times from Target and it just doesn't work. They either click, distort the sound, change sides over and over again, or just makes a hissing sound. Buy something else.

i really don't understand the negative reviews i have read. i understand that 10% of all electronic devices are prone to failure, so a bad experience is possible, but half of the reviews sound like the writer had a problem with their stereo rather than the adapter. i bought this adapter, and after adjusting the volume levels i was absolutely amazed by the sound quality. yes, you do have to find a sweet spot. i followed the instructions and set my mp3 player to half volume, and was disappointed to hear a hiss. i turned my car stereo all the way down, put my mp3 at max volume, and then adjusted the stereo volume. the sound was incredible. i actually had to adjust the equalizer on my mp3 to a less aggressive setting because i thought the ENORMOUS bass output would damage my speakers. i had no idea a cassette adapter could sound this good. here are a few tips. if you have an older stereo, clean it with a head cleaner before using an adapter. if you have auto reverse, guess what, it's going to cause problems with just about any adapter. there are ways to fix this, and there's something called Google which can quickly find instructions for doing so as well as a few other things. lastly, you can't always trust user reviews. the Dynex adapter is rated considerably higher. i bought one, and no amount of tinkering changed the fact that my music was faint and there was a very loud hiss. this piece of junk comes in a pop open blister that can be repackaged without any sign that it was ever opened. it's as if they expect half of them to be returned and sold to the next sucker. experiences may vary, and some adapters may work better with different stereos. for me, the Griffin is better than i had hoped. - Blueproton - Ipod Cassette Adapter - Griffin Technology - Cassette Adapter'

Staplers - stapler, cable


This stapler is well-designed and well-constructed. All hand contact areas are covered with black rubber material for comfortable use. The stapler's operation is smooth, and the handle is a "low stroke" design which reduces hand fatigue. I found it easy to pull, and was able to fire the stapler by squeezing using just two fingers. The stapler's body is made of "Aircraft Aluminum", so it is strong but lighter than the classic steel-bodied stapler.



Near the front of the stapler there is a "staple size / reload" window, which lets you see what size staples are currently loaded (1/4", 3/8", 1/2" or 6mm, 10mm, 14mm) and whether the stapler is almost empty.



At the front of the stapler there is a thumb wheel which flips the wire guide "cable tracker" down, or up and out of sight. This is a U-shaped piece of metal that protrudes about 1/8" downward from the front of the stapler. It is useful when stapling wires or cables. It shows where the staple's points will emerge (so you don't pierce the wire), and it keeps the front of the stapler from crushing the wire.



At the base of the stapler's handle there is a simple wire handle lock. Squeeze the handle closed, and then engage the handle lock. This is useful for storage, especially if you want to return the stapler to its original hard-plastic packaging.



At the rear of the stapler there is a switch to control the "High-Low Power" feature. You'll need to experiment to determine which setting is best.



I used this stapler for a challenging upholstery project. It smoothly drove 100+ staples into hard oak, without a single jam. I used Stanley-brand staples TRA04T 1/4-inch and TRA06T 3/8-inch; this stapler can also use Arrow-brand staples.



If you are stapling into hardwood, and the staple isn't going all the way in, it might be the fault of the staples rather than the stapler! Consider what size staple you are using. If you are stapling through one layer of thin material, then you should be using 1/4-inch staples, not 3/8-inch staples. In this situation, a 3/8-inch staple won't drive completely into the hard wood and its legs will buckle instead. But a 1/4-inch staple is relatively stiffer and will drive perfectly. If you are stapling through two layers of thicker material, then 3/8-inch staples are the better choice. Staples are inexpensive (but see below), so buy a variety of sizes and experiment to determine which size is best for your project.



If the staple is not quite all the way in, you can finish it off by tapping it with a hammer. But observe carefully -- if the staple is protruding a lot, its legs will buckle and the hammer will flatten the staple rather than driving it. In this case you'll need to remove and redo this staple. A staple remover comes in handy.



One note of caution -- staples are available for purchase here, but as of this writing they are available only from third-party sellers, so their shipping will exceed the price of the staples themselves. Stanley TR250 SharpShooter Plus Heavy Duty Staple/Brad Nail Gun

I've used it on two projects using a total of about 150 staples. When using half inch staples into poplar wood they didn't always go all the way in. However when I adjusted the strength of the pull I had no problem (see lever at back of stapler. This is a cool feature.) I used five sixteenth staples on my second project and had no problems using the low setting. I had no problems with jamming on either project. I gave it four stars for now as I've only used it on two projects and can't speak to durability.

While most of us don't use heavy duty staplers on a daily basis, but if you are like me when you use it you need for it to work. I can say that I have never had an issue with Stanley Sharpshooter. It is never gotten jammed and it is a cinch to replace the staples (T50). In my opinion, I think that Stanley is the bell-weather for heavy duty staplers.



One thing that is a bit of complaint is that it doesn't always penetrate pine flush. In fact, about 30% of the time it leaves about 1/8" of the staple above the surface. While this isn't that big of deal (A flat-head screw driver will pop the staple with little effort). However, if the Stanley Sharpshooter was used in harder wood like Oak the staple may only go into the wood halfway. The question is... how often do you use your stapler in hard wood?



Things that I like



- Never had a miss feed - never jammed

- Easy to replace the staples

- Heavy duty steel construction



Areas for improvement



- It takes a fair amount of hand strength to operate - many women may have problems

- Staple doesn't consistently fully penetrate pine - you may have significant problems in hard wood.





Final verdict-



While there are some minor flaws the Stanley Sharpshooter is an excellent choice for most tool boxes



4 Stars

I use this at work for stapling insulation, plastic sheeting, radiant barriers, etc., and have used thousands of staples with it. I only recall one jam ever, which was easy to clear. This stapler is also lightweight and very quick and easy to reload. Like any stapler I've used it takes a lot of force to squeeze the handle, and after stapling all day my hand does get tired, but this one seems easier to use than others. The construction feels very solid and it seems very durable. I highly recommend this if you want a reliable, lightweight, and easy to load stapler.

I've had my Sharp Shooter Plus for a short time but after more than 2000 staples it has not jammed. If you use the manufacture recommended staples and brads you may not have a jamming problem. The manufacture recommends Stanley TRA 700 series or Arrow T50 staples.



You can easily adjust the force of the brad nailer/staple gun with high/low adjustments. It also accomodates brads ½ to 5/8 inch and staples ¼ to 9/16. It's solidly made and has a good balance in your hands. Mine is actually yellow in color which make it easier to find. There's also a cable/wire guide to assist you in stapling down cables/wires.



I (highly) recommend this tool for your tool box. Uses would apply to screens, signs, upholstery, insulation strips, holiday lights, cables/audio/wiring systems, framing, canvas art, radiant barriers etc. I am an avid DIY'r. - Cable - Stanley - Nailers - Stapler'

Kindle 2 Leather Cover - cover, kindle 2 case


I was really hoping this cover was going to be "it" for me. I currently have the Patagonia cover (which I love) but wanted something a bit "nicer." I put my Kindle in this cover for 2 weeks and although it did not "crack" my Kindle, it certainly left deep scratches and knicks along the side where the hinges clipped into the Kindle. No one will see but me, but STILL! I was afraid over time it would damage it more. What drew me to this, was the elastic on the cover, which I did like. By the way, the Patagonia cover is the way to go when travelling. It is well padded, water resistant and fit into a carry-on nicely. I just ordered the M-Edge platform for my "nicer" cover...hopefully this one will be the one I am looking for. I would definitely NOT buy any cover with the hinges ever again. If you want to protect your Kindle, get a cover that holds it in with elastic edges. Kindle Leather Cover, Black (Fits 6" Display, 2nd Generation Kindle)

Just got the black one. I have an M-Edge Platform cover in 'sapphire'; wanted something a little more grownup in appearance for the commute, since I don't really use my booklight in transit.



For my purpose, this is the perfect cover. The overall styling with the pebbled leather gives it a 40's vintage appearance -- grown up and serious, but cool -- not corporate. The cover is pretty rigid. The little channel that holds the strap (which is like a bungee), works well to keep the strap neatly in place. This cover is exactly as I had imagined it would be: except that it's a little more padded, which makes it even better; and it's *very* lightweight. I just threw it onto the not-very-accurate kitchen scale. It weighs about 6-3/8 oz. (180g) -- even lighter than I'd expected; but it's still very slim despite having more padding than I'd expected. It is only very slightly larger in dimensions than the Kindle, and fits the middle pocket of my small messenger bag perfectly.



The lining is heathered charcoal, and is more synthetic flannel-like than suede-like. What's especially good about the color, is that it seems unlikely to show hand-grime over time. I like how it looks with the device, because it's closer in color to the words than it is to the page background.



As another reviewer noted, it would be difficult to mistake the back for the front. I agree with that statement. This cover does have the same hinge system as the original Amazon cover, and comes with an explicit warning not to lift the back cover. But this design also provides the means of preventing the famous 'evil accident', if one is conscientious about using the strap. The strap holds the cover closed firmly enough that if one does lift the back rather than the front, it doesn't really 'lift' independently; and if desired one can also read with the strap over the 'free' edge of the Kindle. It doesn't interfere with any buttons, and the tab situates perfectly as a place to rest one's thumb, if one happens to hold the device in one's right hand.



The *front* cover folds back neatly -- almost like reading without a cover, except that the device won't slide around.



The cover does have a strong chemical smell right now, as I expected it probably would coming right out of the box. I expect that to dissipate over time -- it's still quite new. I plan to leave it open to air out for a while and keep my nose *away*. I'm not worried about this.



Oh. And -- the packaging it came in is quite nice. I'd call it 'giftable', even. Harmonious with the original Kindle packaging.

The smell, the feel, the color, the strap I expected.

But this cover caused my Kindle to crack where the brackets attach to the kindle.

I've owned this cover for almost four months now and Amazon is replacing my Kindle because of this damage.

WARNING: this item will crash your Kindle. The metal hooks which slide into the side cause the Kindle to crash and reboot. When you leave the Kindle down then go to wake it up, instead of waking it reboots from scratch. As soon as you take your Kindle out of this cover, it behaves normally. I am returning the cover to Amazon: it's a real shame because I loved the cleanness of the attachment (no little straps over the corners of the Kindle) - but what an incredible design flaw. So the question is: why is it still on sale?! There are loads of 1 star reviews here and independent forums elsewhere full of people wondering what's wrong with their Kindles. Get it off the market until the metal hooks are replaced with ones which don't conduct electricity.

The cover is nice. When I made he purchase I was already worried about the hooks(hinges), i decided those "accidents were user caused." and ordered anyway. to my shock i noticed small cracks or indentations around the slots base from simply putting the cover on! I will be keeping an eye on them and see if they grow as it could simply be scratched paint(caused by the hinges) and an illusion. - Kindle Accessory - Kindle 2 Case - Cover - Leather Kindle Cover'

Usb Extension Cable - scanner, usb


Having been forced into needed a 16' cord after purchasing a new printer I was literally shocked at how much it was costing at the major retail chains. You would think you would get a great price, but this item proves thier "specialty" length cords can be purchased at an affordable rate.



Great cord, great price, I've had it in use for over a month and can't tell a difference in the one that cost 4x more. Mediabridge - Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Cable - Gold Plated (16 Feet)

I purchased this cable to connect a second printer to my computer. The cable arrived in an easy to open plastic bag instead of the Fort Knox-like hard plastic shell packages. After undoing a couple of twist ties I was ready to go.



The set-up was 30 seconds with no way to make a mistake with which end for the printer and which one for the computer. I printed a page and the copy spit right out, so all was good.

I was connecting an HTPC to an HDTV, and as I wanted to hide the whole thing had to use long cables.



After looking for some, I went with one of this Mediabridge USB cables, to go with a long HDMI one: Mediabridge Ultra Series - High Speed HDMI Cable With Ethernet - 15ft - Category 2 Certified - Supports 3D & Audio Return Channel.



I can tell both of them are nice cables, connectors look nice (not those big ugly squared ones from other companies) and their black/dark grey color hides well without catching attention to them.

Build quality is superb.



...they work perfectly and provided me with the solution I was looking for, without having to pay excessive prices as other companies ask for the same quality (monster anyone?).



Next time I need a cable will make sure to check mediabridge first ;)

Shipping was extremely quick. I ordered this cable to use in my home office to connect to a Canon multi-function printer. I thought there might be some signal degradation because of the length of the cable (which is why I ordered the gold-plated) but the print jobs I've done so far have been transmitted immediately and printed right away. Very pleased with the quality of the cable.

I bought this printer cord so that I would be able to connect my laptop to my printer without having to crawl around on the floor to disconnect my other printer cord from my desktop. I was so happy to find it in the 16 ft length so that I am not confined to only using the laptop to print while on the same table as the printer. The cord easily bridges the distance from the printer to my desk. What a wonderful treat to give myself for such a small price!

I purchased the 16' Mediabridge cable after reorganizing my home office and moving one of the printers. The cable is a quarter of the price from the so-called "Best Box" near us and has worked flawlessly for the last 3 months. This is truly a superior product at a bargain price!!

I am very impressed with this USB cable, I'll have to admit at first I was not sure if it would do what I needed it to do, but after received this product I am very impressed. The construction is of great quality, I have no problems it dropping connections to my USB hub which is located across the office where I have multiple hard drives running off of it. This USB cable is my "backbone" to a USB hub on our home network, and it works excellent. For the price you can't beat it. - Usb Cables - Printer Cable - Scanner - Usb'

Ipad 2 Screen Protector


Wow. I didn't expect to receive this total package for much less than what i would spend on an Apple iPad Leather Case. I am only interested in the leather case and the screen protector but i received so much more. What surprises me the most is the quality of the accessories. The leather case is very well built and feels good on my hand. The screen protector visibly reduces the glare from the sun. I haven't tried other accessories yet but they all seem to be well packed and solid. My final note is about the seller, i paid for 3-5 shipping but the seller upgraded it to next day without charging me additional arm and leg for it. Great job, CrazyOnDigital!!!! CrazyOnDigital Full 20 items Accessories Leather Case Charger Screen Protector for Apple iPad 2 2nd Generation 16GB 32GB 64GB 3G Wifi

We bought this pack not knowing what to expect. It seemed too cheap, for what you get. We were mostly interested in buying the protective screen for the iPad2, having seen the price of around $29 for just one screen in Best Buy. So we bought it, and it all arrived in about 4 days. The covers all fit fine. The leather case is pretty good quality, and the electric stuff all seems to work. The headphones with mic probably aren't what you want for listening to music, but they're perfect for talking on Skype or Facetime. Most importantly, the screen protector (3 sets!) installs very easily, and is totally invisible afterwards. We are very happy with this purchase...great package.

I mainly bought this for the hard cover. To be honest the house charger is pretty scary to me. It will over heat because of the high amp input (mine did at least). However I feel that I did get my money value out of the package, considering the prices of the items individually at stores near me. So I still gave it 5 stars. I like the audio splitters and of course the screen protectors. The high prices of screen protectors at stores near me seriously shocked me. Its a good value as a package.

It's kinda hard to review this item without an ipad2 (come on apple 3 weeks really?!)



Even before i bought this thing there were some strange things going on. the microphone they say is in the package is absent. and they never mention this book light....A BOOK LIGHT!!! why do you need a booklight for the ipad2?



based on the fact that it's $30.00



for a leather case (uses a magnet, not a button), a rubber protector...case..thing, and 3 screen protectors and a few earphones it's a bargain.



but the wristband, the non existing microphone, the booklight, the fish winders (are those even useful?) and all those damned cables are all there to sweeten the deal. if they just added the mic i would not be wearing this silly wristband!

The case for the IPad alone made this a deal winner - then add all the extra goodies that came with it, and it's a value of a lifetime. I've been using the case to protect my rather sizable IPad 2 investment daily and it seems to be holding up very well under daily use. The extra stuff is simply nice to have around. Arrived fast and everything was new and perfect. I like the company and I can't wait to give them more of my hard earned money.

I couldn't find a case for the price I received this entire bundle for. Shipping was fast. I haven't even received my Ipad which was ordered before this package. It's worth the money. Case may not be leather but will work just as well. No complaints here.

This is the second time buying product from this seller. The quality of products are good. The number of items makes this package a great value for money. The leather case is simple with 4 straps at the corners and can be used with the TPU skin for added protection. The headphones are a bonus since IPAD 2 does not come with any headphones. The splitter is nice if two people want to hear with their individual headphones, especially when watching a movie together. Overall it contains all you would need for your IPAD 2.

When i ordered this item, it was much cheaper, I paid about $7 for it, now is over $30.

I think $15-$20 is fair value, the items are ok but cheap made so it is ok for $15-$20 not over $30. My chargers didn't work and most of the items I dont use. So basically I now use one case and one set of earphones... The rest I threw away.

When I purchased this bundle for $2.97 + shipping. I thought that for under $6 if it was junk I would not be out any money. When the bundle arrived I was very pleased. Some of the items I will not use, but the screen protectors, covers, folder and the chargers were well worth the cost. One thing I do not understand is that in the time it took for my purchase to arrive, the cost steadily rose. I am not sure why.'

Webcams - logitech webcam, c600


I'm sure like others that have found out, the quest for a good webcam can lead to a lot of dead ends. One that kept popping up on my radar screen is the mid level Logitech C600. The thing that appealed to me primarily were the simple features. With a two tone black finish, the glass lens C600 is packed with an attached 6' USB cable, software CD, instructions and a two year product warranty.



The expandable clip easily attaches to my LCD monitor or it can free stand on the desk. I found that the webcam installs perfectly with or without the enclosed Logitech software. Just plug and play. It paired well with both Meebo and Google's Gmail "G Chat" without stalling or interruptions. Another plus is, it paired well with both my desktop and laptop.



I was very impressed by the clarity and sharpness of image transmission. The microphone picks up even the faintest of whispers. The jury is out on the product's RightLight technology. I did not see that much difference in lighting over my older Logitech webcam. The manually operated privacy shutter is a nice add on.



The much hyped Logitech video calling network software package with its special effects and avatars is probably an okay add on for some but not for us. Personally I find it too intrusive. As I have mentioned earlier, its not required to get the webcam up and running. Other chat networks work fine without it.



Overall for the price and features, I find the Logitech C600 Webcam to be a step up over other internet communication tools in the same category. The C600 delivers on the basics and more. Logitech 2 MP HD Webcam C600 with Built-in Microphone

I read the reviews on Amazon as well as the Logitech website about this camera. I was hesitant to purchase because there was some criticism about its compatibility with Skype, which is the primary program I wanted to use this with. The Logitech web clearly shows that this camera is Skype compatible. I decided to buy it though while it was a lightning deal...best decision of the day! Installation was incredibly simple and didn't take much more than 5 minutes from the box to use. Most importantly for me is that it works flawlessly with Skype! The family we have video called with have all commented on the remarkable clarity of the picture. The other cool features such as avatars and other distortions make my young nephews laugh and laugh! I could not be more pleased with this camera with built in microphone!



UPDATE: I did run into some problems later with my microphone. Logitec customer service was EXTREMELY helpful. They helped me troubleshoot it, and then immediately sent a replacement when it was determined to be a camera hardware issue. The new one has worked perfectly since. With solid logitec customer service to back up their products, you're in good hands!

I was looking for a mid cost unit and decided on the C600. Installation was a breeze and it's very easy to use. The only thing I missed when reviewing it was that it doesn't have an auto focus feature. If I'd caught that, I probably would have opted for a different model. I'm not to happy about the noise echo and there doesn't seem to be a way to completely eliminate it. It's annoying but not unbearable. Over all it's serving my purpose and I would recommend it to others that can live without the auto focus feature. - Skype - Logitech Webcam - Logitech - C600'

Laptop Charger - laptop power adapters, laptop charger


I was very skeptical about buying this AC adapter. I had changed batteries in my computer and I was still receiving a message that my AC adapter was not recognized and my battery was not charging. My old adapter was still powering my computer but nothing else. Dell's website has the worst reviews for the AC adapters so I thought this would be a better/cheaper route. The product is working perfectly. I plugged it in and it worked right away. My screen did not display the "AC Adapter is not recognized" upon powering up and the battery is charging. I am very pleased with this product. OEM Dell Ac Adapter Laptop Charger for Dell INSPIRON ,Dell XPS ,Dell Studio, Dell Latitude ,Dell Vostro, P/N PA-10 PA10 90w 90 watt Genuine/Original/OEM Portable Charger for Laptop Notebook Computer Battery Charger Power Supply Cord Plug

This is a REAL Dell charger. A bit bigger than the one that came with my Latitude D630, and uses a 3-prong plug instead of 2 prong, but works perfectly. There are a LOT of junky AC adaptors on the market which power the laptops, but do NOT charge the batteries. This is a REAL charger/adaptor. High quality. Works perfectly. Fair price...so I leave this ALWAYS at my desk at home ready to plug in whenever I use my laptop there, and keep the other (original one) ALWAYS in my laptop bag so I've got it if I'm travelling and need it!

I have been very pleased with this power supply. It has been operating every day for the past month since I bought it and it has been working fine. It is interesting to note that this power supply is a full 90W supply. Please don't be fooled into buying the cheaper 60W versions from other vendors. These cheaper 60W supplies burn themselves out after about a month, especially if you are using USB devices that need to draw power from the laptop via the USB port. I know this from personal experience. This supply is an OEM replacement my original laptop power supply, not just a cheaper knockoff.

My old adapter was still powering my computer but nothing else. This power supply is a 90W supply and the system BIOS on my DELL E1705 recognizes it & it charges correctly. Please don't be fooled into buying the cheaper versions from other vendors. I have had an experience with cheaper power supplies that burn themselves out after a year, to the day!. This is especially true if you are using USB devices that need to draw power from the laptop via the USB port. I know this from personal experience.

This supply is an real OEM replacement for my original laptop power supply, not just a cheaper knockoff.



The product is working perfectly. I plugged it in and it worked right away. My screen no longer displays the "AC Adapter is not recognized" upon powering up and the battery is charging.



I am very pleased with this product.

When charger arrived I plugged it into the back of my Dell E1505 and it did feel a little loose so doesn't appear to be the exact model you get from Dell. After a while I noticed this buzzing sound coming from the charger part (the large rectangular portion of the charger where the wires connect) when it was connected to the outlet and into my running laptop. Not sure if it was a fire hazard but I returned it just in case. Sorry, can't recommend.

For two days this product worked OK, then it started sparking and fizzing and did not work when plugged into my laptop. A guy at Best Buy looked at it and as soon as he plugged it in he said "oh crap, that shouldn't be plugged in at all!" because it was dangerous. I bought this product because of the scary reviews of the non-DELL chargers, but it just goes to show you that anything can be a poor quality piece of crap.

I have a Dell Inspiron E1505. On this computer the charger allows the computer to run when plugged in, but does not charge the battery. I have to stay plugged in at all times to use my computer with this product as my charger.

I bought this adapter because the product page said it's compatible with my Dell Inspiron 6000. Before I plugged it in, I noticed that the output amperage is different than my original adapter. I checked elsewhere on the Internet, including the Dell site, and I could find no other reference to this adapter being compatible with my laptop. Other websites list the 6400 as a compatible model, but not the 6000. The wrong amperage might not appear to be a problem immediately, but it can cause severe damage to a system. The seller should fix their listing and be more careful about listing compatibility accurately. I do not regard this seller as trustworthy.

I bought this as a replacement and spent the extra money to get the dell product. Unfortunately this only powers the computer if it is plugged in and will not charge the battery. By the time I replaced the battery and figured out it was the chord, I could not return it!! Bad warranty, bad product. You might as well go with the knock off products and take your chances, at least they are cheaper to replace! - Dell Inspiron Adapter - Laptop Charger - Dell Inspiron - Laptop Power Adapters'

Ipod Nano - ipod nano, nike


I'm usually somewhat jaded when I see technology, and I was skeptical this would be much better than an equivalent $10-15 pedometer. However, Apple has once again proven that details matter.



I bought this for my wife (forget about having to have Nike+ shoes - it works fine slipped into laces or in a shoe wallet). She plugged it into her first-gen (1G) Nano, and instantly the Nike+ menu option appeared. There's a little calibration that has to be done, but once you get going, it's just neat. You can specify your workout type (distance, duration, just go), and then select a playlist (or shuffle, or something else) and you are off!



There's even a built in voice that will give you a verbal run summary at the touch of a button (and at scheduled intervals).



I run with a fourth-gen (4G) big (disk) iPod, and no, it doesn't work with my iPod. Too bad. I might have to get a Nano just for running - this is too cool, and saves the time off of keeping a running log - it keeps one for you, which you can upload.



Good:

-don't need Nike shoes

-works amazingly well out of the box

-easy to use

-neat features (like voice alerts about pace, distance, etc)

-ultra-light

Bad:

-only works with the Nano

-supposedly can't replace the battery in the shoe transponder - we'll see about that

-some calibration required Apple Nike + iPod Sport Kit for iPod nano 1G, 2G, 3G

First off this is a great addition to all the weekend warriors out there. It can help keep you motivated via the headphones or the internet (when you get home)



There are some minor things you should know about when owning one of these kits.



1. You have to have an iPod Nano, not a video, iphone, classic, shuffle, whatever... I plugged this into my ultra cool iPod touch and it did not work.



2. Put the disk inside your shoes tongue or get one of the lace kits. Dont buy the shoes built for this. (see next)



3. If you are not headed out the door DO NOT HAVE THIS IN YOUR SHOE! The battery will die and youll need to buy the sender unit (the red thing) again. If you run out to get groceries in your car make sure this is out of your shoe. Having one in your shoe and not having the iPod on will not save all your walking data.



Motion (of any kind even riding in your ash tray) will use up the battery! Take it out and place it on your dresser. Unless you live in a volcanic area it should last a long time.



4. Get a good belkin or other nano type running case. This will help.



All in all a great product. If you treat it well it is a great help for your fitness routine.



edit:

Just figured this out, if you use an ellipticle machine you can tape the sensor to the arm at the farthest point back. It is not 100% accurate but it does read fairly close. Basically you will lose 1/10th the run (or so on my em)

Hope this helps! You can check my progress: http://runnin2lose.blogspot.com

I can't say enough good things about this product. I got mine at Christmas and I love it. Let me start by saying that I hate running and walking. I find walking to be boring and running to be no fun at all. In the six weeks that I have owned this device I have run/walked almost 80 miles. I can say for a fact that this is probably more than I have run/walked (directly for exercise that is) in my entire life leading up to this point. I love bike riding and swimming but I can't swim at any time of the day and as much as I love biking you have to go so much further to get the same results and there just aren't enough places to bike near my house.



The main reason that this is so motivating is the Nike website. When you sync your iPod your information is uploaded to the Nike website where you can view great charts and graphs of your runs. It tracks your records as well (fastest mile, furthest run, etc.) It allows you to set goals (run 40 miles in 4 weeks, burn 10,000 calories in 4 weeks, etc.) It also allows you to challenge other people with this device. Well, my best friend got one for Christmas as well. He lives 250 miles away and we are already on our second challenge. The first was who can run the most miles in 30 days. The current is who can run 60 miles first. The website keeps track of your progress and shows you how far each participant has gone so far. So you can see if you are ahead or need to pick up the pace. It is great and makes you want to run further and more often.



I always knew I was competitive but I never realized how competitive I was! The other day I ran 7 miles (further than I have ever gone at one time in my life) just so that I could get a good headstart on my friend!

Fun piece of kit but if you are a serious runner expecting accurate results there are some major flaws in the product.



1. starting and stopping your workout is not a push one button job - you have to scroll through menu's - so if you are on the starting line looking to do your best 10km and then the gun goes off, everyone will be long gone before you get through the menu's to start your workout. Stopping too is not simple - if you are just out having fun then it is not a major issue.

2. Accuracy - though you can calibrate the sensor it is not 100% accurate - typically my wife and I have both found that if you can get around 90% to 95% you are doing well - however that is a 1km or at least 500m out every ten. So again not that useful if you want to measure your best 10km time

3. Downloading to Nike has its problems too - you just need to read the forums to see how many problems people have with their best times not being recognised, not been given their trophies, distances and times not matching up etc. etc. etc.



Bottom line - fun for keeping a more or less record of what you have done - useless as an accurate log of your times and distances - Nike - Nike Plus - Ipod Accessories - Ipod Nano'

Digital Camera - digital rebel, digital slr


I have had this bag now for over 9 months and can honestly say it has more then surpassed my expectations. It stores everything I need when out with family or friends to catch all the action in one convenient place.



In the center of the bag I have the following:

1. Rebel XT body

2. Canon 430EX Flash

3. 17mm-85mm Lens

4. 75mm-300mm Lens

5. Sony Handycam Video Recorder

6. Power plug for charging Video Recorder



On the sides I store the Battery Chargers and Batteries for Flash, Camera and Video Camera, plus Tapes for the Video Camera. The front holds all the manuals for everything and a few extra Memory Cards and lens covers. Even after this, there is still space in the bag for other things. The bag has held up very well and can see no signs of wear or tear after dragging this bag all over the place for the last 9 months. Canon 2400 SLR Gadget Bag for EOS SLR Cameras

I purchased this bag for my Canon digital rebel XT. It's durable and well built. Some what smaller than advertised but I'm sure it's ideal under most circumstances. Perfect if you have a camera body and single lens. However, I returned it in exchange for the Canon 200DG bag which is larger and could accommodate up to 3 lens, camera body and accessories easily. The 2400SLR bag has plastic latches, rings and zippers. The Canon 200DG has heavy metal latches and is constructed with thicker padding and heavy duty zipper and pouches. The price of the 2400SLR is very reasonable and a great value for the money. But, if you are planning to carry a camera body and 2 or more lens, I would not recommend this bag.

I am very pleased with this bag. It is a perfect fit for my Canon EOS 20D camera body and two lenses plus flash unit. Plus, there is room for another lens (a soon to be added zoom lens). Plenty of compartments and zippered pockets around the perimeter for carrying accessories. It even has a strap on the bottom for carrying a tripod. The bag is lightweight, water repellant, and has the interchangeable dividers so you can arrange the interior contents into any configuration you like. Well worth the price and works fine unless you plan on carrying more than 3 lenses.

If you're reading this review now, then you must be debating on whether to purchase this bag or not. My answer would be to buy it!! Initially I bought a samsonite bag, but I quickly out grew that one. This canon bag (after repositioning the velcro dividers) can fit all of the following:



1. rebel xt body w/ the kit lens attached

2. Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II

3. Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM Telephoto Zoom Lens

4. Canon 430EX Speedlite Flash

5. Duracell 15 min charger

6. misc (cards, cords, chargers)



*** and i still have room ***



You might be thinking that the bag is heavy, but it's not because everything is so easily distributed in the bag.

I already had an older camera bag and thought it was time for a new one to go with my new Rebel XT and lenses. I have a lot of smaller accessories that easily fit into any of the various pockets and have room for more. The only annoyance (minor) is that the strap connection to the bag is not the swivel type and I find myself having to re-twist the strap to the correct position before putting it over my shoulder.

This is a good looking convenient bag. Has lots of compartments and tons of stuff can fit in. In general works pretty well. Here are a few drawbacks:



1. The divider is set up in a way the body and lens need to be separated to be stored. I used to have a lens attached to the body all the time in my old Tamco bag and this is new to me.



2. My 70-200 F4/L is too long to be stored in there. Which is not a gignatic lens.



3. The partition desgin is not that flexible.



Then I have only had this for a week and not sure if i know all the tricks yet.

I got tired of carrying two separate bags for my Digital Rebel (with two lenses) and Sony D8 camcorder (larger than DV camcorder). I wanted a bag that's big enough to carry all my digital gears. After looking around at Wolf Camera and other retailers, I decided to give this bag a try. It turned out to be a GREAT decision! With re-arranging the dividers included, I was able to fit the above gears plus a couple of D8 tapes, SONY camcorder power cords, Canon battery charger, Canon user's manual, additional film memory into this medium show-box sized bag. It is the least expensive and great quality bag around. Highly recommended to anyone with similar needs.

When I was looking for a camera/gear bag, I first checked the usual suspects: Lowepro, Tamrac, etc. They had the product I was looking for; however, at a price that was out of my budget. I then decided to check our Canon's. To my surprise and delight they had exactly what I was looking for: something semi-hard, protective, weather-proof and within my tight budget. I ended up deciding for getting couple of these guys and am nothing but satisfied. This bag is spacious and exactly as advertised.

If has configurable inner dividers so you can customize how it fits your precious equipment. Very easy te get things in and out of, and it can pack a lot! I usually carry my camera with a 28-135 lens attached, two other lenses, batteries, a few filters, couple of lense's hoods and a few memory cards. It all fits and everyting stays in place. In short, a superb value. If you're looking for an inexpensive camera/gear bag, this is the one to get! - Digital Rebel - Digital Slr - Photography - Canon'

Activity Center - activity center, water play


I bought this for my niece, she loved it...but like most toys loses interest after a while. good for 1 or 2 children to play on but too small for more and that leads to fights.. I recommend investing in a bigger one if you can find. Sights 'n Sounds Water Table

This table is very interactive and provides fun playtime for the kids. However, the fact that it does not have an On/Off switch is bewildering and odd. Who designs a toy without a switch???? There are a minimum of six, to a maximum of 8 screws that have to be removed in order to remove the batteries.



The toys come off very easily so until the child is old enough to realize the need to leave the toys on the table, you will spend a lot of time chasing after the pieces or let the child play with the pieces and the table as two separate entities.



Because there are not a lot of interactive water tables available, I recommend this one.

Both grandchildren like this water table. The 4 year old may be the one who will break something on it if not supervised closely (so far, so good). The only complaint their parents have is that there is no button to turn it off (you'd have to get a screwdriver and remove the batteries). The kids are really enjoying it this summer.

My kids (5 and 2 years old) love playing with this toy. I looked at several water tables, and when I saw this one, even I wanted it! One of the boats tends to sink easily, but they don't seem to care. It would be nice if the crate were magnetic on all sides so that it could be picked up by the crane no matter how it's floating. Overall, this was a great buy.

My son loves this toy and so do his toddler friends! There are so many activities and things to explore with this toy. The water that squirts up from the octopus is a big hit. We searched for a water table for a while and this one by far is the most fun. - Activity Center - Kids Outdoor Toys - Outdoor Play - Water Play'

Beginners Guide - beginner yoga, yoga dvd


I love Rodney Yee as well as only a handful of other instructors such as Rainbeau Mars, Seane Corn, etc. who have a real passion for yoga to help balance the body and the mind.

This has 2 about 20 min workouts, Rodney doing the morning & Colleen doing the evening. They both use only basic beginner poses that have a relaxed, slow pace. The great thing about this dvd is the 3 different audio instruction. You can have basic overall instruction that Rodney uses in the past which gives you the pose name, basic instruction about posture, as well as some inspiration teaching such as not being hard on yourself that you aren't doing the best you've ever done, etc. You can choose "pose only" which is just the music & Rodney/Colleen only saying only the name of the next pose. Or you can have the "inspirational" mode which tells you the pose & how it helps your body & other inspirational ways the yoga pose helps you through life in a more positive way, by noticing the positive in your body, etc. This is a great idea to get larger target audience who might all have different taste in instruction, or different needs depending on the day. I think all workout dvds should do this, even offer even more varied choices, especially "instruction only" in case you don't like the music, but do want the instruction, etc.. Most dvds now only offer instruction w/music or just music which is too limiting considering the technological possibilities, dvd reviews will get much less complaints due to varied user's tastes & much more sales. *hint hint*

The pose 42 min guide has Rodney & Colleen taking turns being the teacher/model in a total white studio for poses like: mountain, side bend, back bend, standing fwd bend, downward dog, triangle, wide angle standing fwd bend, side angle, warrior 1, cobra, cobbler's/butterfly, seated twist, seated cross legged fwd bend, seated fwd bend, reclined easy stretch figure 4 ankle crossed over knee then pull to chest, happy baby, reclined twist, bridge, reclined rest with knees up, total rest. They mostly focus on common thing people do wrong & quick basics on how to do it right. There could have been more instruction, but this is good for people who get bored fast.

If you want really deep instruction that answers questions you wouldn't even realize to ask about muscle alignment/use during a pose, I would suggest Seane Corn's Vinyasa Flow Yoga - Uniting Movement with Breath.



Video clip: Youtube under "Rodney Yee Yoga for Beginners"

& quick trailer at Gaiam com Rodney Yee's Yoga for Beginners

This is one case in which the title does not mislead. If you don't have much background in yoga and need to have all the various postures explained in some detail, this is the DVD for you. Even if you do have some experience with yoga, they will take you back to the basics where you might need a little correction here and there. Also, on the disc Rodney Yee and his partner take you through the steps of two yoga workouts that will lead you in the end to a wonderful feeling of relaxation.

I purchased 3 different "beginner" DVDs on Amazon to try. I am somewhat familiar with Yoga but haven't practiced it in years, and was never that advanced to begin with. I was worried that some of the DVD's would be too easy or too complicated for me. This was perfect. (Incidentally, the one I really didn't like was "Yoga for Every Body" which somehow managed to be both too easy (not challenging physically) and too complicated (using Hindu terminology and a lot of props) This DVD, on the other hand, was great becasue it was simple and straightforward, while being physically challenging at the same time (easy poses to customize to your level of fitness, too) I only wish it were longer. I will purchase more of the Gaiam DVDs with Rodney Yee

I love this video! The pose tutorial is wonderful, and you can tell that Rodney and Colleen want their students to do the poses properly so that they can get the full benefits of yoga. Both the practices can be done by beginners, but as with any and all forms of exercise, if you have an aliment such as arthritis, you should take care not to push yourself into something that may hurt you. If you are not really flexible, well then patient, common-sense use of this practice will get you there. After I did both of the practices, I felt renewed, balanced and firmly planted on the earth. I was really tired when I started, and by the time I completed the programs, I was able to take on the rest of the day with gusto!



Yoga rocks, and this is a rockin' way to start your practice! :O)

I bought this DVD based on the rave reviews of how appropriate this DVD is for beginners. With the exception of one yoga class many years ago, I consider myself a true beginner and was looking for a DVD that would start with a thorough introduction to the basics. While the section on poses does a good job of focusing on common mistakes, the camera angle is awkward and sometimes cuts off when you are trying to follow along. With that said, the attempt at fancy camera work hinders the ability to follow along in true form, and this continues into the workout section. For instance, some shots only display Rodney's head and arms held up, but will omit the position he takes with his legs. I was not able to complete the first workout section; the pace was quite quick and unless you have the poses memorized by name and form, you would not be able to keep up with Rodney. This DVD is best for advanced beginners who are already versed in yoga poses and only need additional instruction to correct form. Discouraging DVD for the true beginner!

First of all I have to say of all the Yoga dvd's I have I like Rodney Yee's the best. I own his Am and PM Yoga and found this dvd to be similar except Rodney only does the morning workout and Colleen Saidman doe the evening workout, compared to Rodney instructing in his earlier released am and pm yoga. The new dvd give you a description on how to align your body and do the movements which I find difficult to visually watch and do at the same time on other dvd's. If you are a beginner this is perfect for you, however, I would suggest later adding other Rodney Yee dvd's and not his am and pm yoga to your collection. - Yoga Dvd - Rodney Yee - Yoga - Beginner Yoga'

Stationary Jointers - stationary planers, jointer


Like many starting woodworkers, I really needed a jointer and wanted a planer, but both did not fit into my budget. So I considered buying a jointer and just doing without the planer. Then I saw this product, but buying it without a review was a real gamble. I was really concerned that as a jointer it might not be very precise and that would just be a waste of money (I can hand joint a board fairly precisely - it just takes longer). In the end I decided that it was about the same price as many portable planers, and if it did a decent job planing, I would just use it as such.



The machine arrived promptly and was well packaged. Good thing, as is usually the case, the outer packaging was pretty battered. One caveat, the planer extension table and jointer blade guard are placed loose in the cavity of the planer and bang around some. The red paint on the guard was chipped around the corners a bit.



Set up was about a 1-hour job. These are things to consider:

1. I would recommend two people to get the main unit out of the styrofoam. It weighs about 75lbs. and tends to stick in the packaging.

2. The directions recommend tightening all of the nuts for the stand and then placing the unit on it before running the bolts up into the unit. Don't do this. Flip the unit upside-down onto the styrofoam packing and place the stand on the bottom. That way you can actually see all of the bolt holes and adjust the stand so all of the holes line up.

3. The directions fail to mention the three lock washers that go with the hex cap screws for fastening the planer outfeed extension, but they are in the exploded parts diagram (and come in the hardware bag). I recommend putting in all three screws loosely. Then, starting at one end, align the top of the extension just barely below the outfeed table - tightnen lightly. Then do the other side. My first efforts were to do the center screw first, but then every time you lower one side, the other pops up too high. Lastly, don't tighten thes down until you adjust the set screws that adjust the angle of the outfeed (I stripped one that way - but I always make sure to find at least one excuse to go out to the hardware store :-)



OK now for the bottom line - performance.

As a jointer, I was impressed. I jointed some very rough walnut and it came out smooth, straight and square - but only after about 5 passes. the directions advise taking light cuts (1/16" or less) and as I've only had this for a short time, I haven't tried breaking it yet.



Same deal as a planer or surface jointer: nice, but it is a bit underpowered - take light cuts. After all, if you realy want a powerful tool, and could afford it, you'd buy a stationary 15" planer and an 8" jointer. Not much snipe (any?) with these light cuts and the surface is nice.



Four small con's:

1. The 2" dust connector is just barely too big for my Rigid vac - fixed with some sandpaper.

2. One of the extension table holes had to be drilled out to get the bolt to go through (but all of the tapped holes are spot-on.)

3. The stand is a little flexible. I'm going to bolt a peice of ply onto the lower brackets as a shelf - that ought to help.

4. the jointer fence does not have any adjustment for moving it across the table, so all jointing operations occur at the same side. That will end up wearing the blades uneavenly. I'll probably end up making up some spacers with mdf.



I recommend this product. Jet JJP-10BTOS 10-Inch Bench-Top Jointer/Planer

I purchased this jointer/planer two weeks ago. This was to be my first joining/planing tool beyond a handplane and I was quite encouraged by the reviews. Beyond Amazon I had a hard time tracking down any major woodworking magazines that had done any reviews on this tool, that should have been a sign.



I received it, spent the next several hours assembling it, became very frustrated with the poorly threaded nuts and bolts and especially frustrated aligning the unit, I could only get 3 of the 4 base screws tight, the 4th would not thread in. Before firing the unit up I threw up an engineers square and my infeed table was horribly out of alignment. After some inspection I noticed that a piece of the infeed table was snapped off. So I called up Jet customer service who did a fine job in getting me the proper replacement part. I wish they would have detailed that this would be a difficult job... it was very difficult.



I received the new infeed table 4 days later and had to completely remove the gears, chain and split the machine open in order to get the new infeed table in. This wasn't too bad, the problem became aligning the cutterhead, two rollers, a lock bar, and a chip guard all at the same time while attempting to hold up the new infeed table while tightening a bolt. After much frustration I finally had the unit back together.



I threw the engineers square back up and all looked well. I fired up the motor and that worked also. All seemed good. I adjusted my depth of cut, tightened the infeed table lock and PING, the shaft that locks the infeed table snapped. This tiny shaft, approximately 1/8 inch diameter ran from one side of the machine to the other and was locked by a handwheel that you used to snug it, mine was hardly able to take finger tight before snapping.



In the end I was able to use Amazons excellent return policy and it is going back to them. It is unfortunate that Jet has made a product that is targeted at entry level woodworkers which cannot accomplish the very simplest of tasks. I would not recommend this tool to anyone.

Jet 10" Jointer/Planer Combo. It makes lot of sense to have both jointer and planer build into one machine. I have tried the jointer with hard red oak, and some soft wood for the planer. Both worked fine to my satisfaction. But there are a few "small" things that needed to be taken care of at the beginning after received the machine thought UPS:



(1) Shipping box is broken badly, luck me that the contents inside is not lost.

(2) The instruction manual (pictures and instructions) is not clear; it says the extension table should be installed higher than the planer but it does not say how much higher it should be. Also, for people never used a jointer or planer (like me), the manual should mention the basics steps operating a jointer and planer to get fine results. I have to find answers from other sources.

(3) This was the most bothering thing for me at the beginning: the out-feed table and the in-feed table are not parallel to each other (off by about 2 mm), and the manual does not mention how to fix it. After contacted the customer service, I got instructions to get it fixed (take both plastic panels off and there are 2 screws on the out-feed table which can be adjusted), even though I cannot say both tables are dead-parallel now, it is very close.

(4) While operating the jointer, the cutter guard keeps touching the surface of the out-feed table; there seems no way to adjust it. I guess the rotating axle is probably not perpendicular to the guard so as it turns, it getting closer to the surface of the out-feed table (but not 100% sure). I have sent email to customer support; hopefully will get some help on that. I think the worst case for me to get it work is to re-drill 2 holes and raise the guard.

(5) The fence could be designed to be a bit sturdier. Would be nice if it could be moved across the tables so that the cutter can be fully utilized.

(6) Would be nice if a shelf is design into the supporting frame/stand which cost basically nothing but would be useful for those with limited space.

(7) The quality of the cutter seems is not top of the line. After short period usage, I noticed a few small notches.

(8) The way that the planer extension table get installed (by 3 screws) and "adjusted" (by 2 smaller screws) is kind of joke. Even a non-professional woodworker like me can see its ridiculers.

(9) Some screws are too short, they are barely long enough to hold the tightened nut and washer.



Issues above are just some small imperfections I have noticed and which I can live with, over-all, I like this machine very much and I think it is well worth the money ($420). - Planer - Stationary Planers - Jointer - Stationary Jointers'

Victorinox Swiss Watch - brown, swiss army


I was wanting to buy larger faced watch so I searched for watches with a case diameter over 50mm. This was the only Swiss Army watch that showed up and I liked the look so I purchased the product. When it came I was surprised by the size. The product specifications say it has a 52mm diameter case but if you check the product description it shows that the watch has only a 40mm case. I have decided to keep the watch because I still like the look, but if your looking for a larger faced watch like I was this is not it. Victorinox Swiss Army Men's 241151 Chrono Classic Brown Dial Watch

I bought this watch as a present for myself after being promoted at work. The purchase process was smooth and the watch was delivered after a few days.



This watch is beautiful and very elegant. The box is also a plus. It's much, much prettier than the boxes of my previous watches.



I am really glad I got it!

My husband purchased it. It is one of the Best Watches he has owned! Extremely Easy to use and see! Second to none for quality at an affordable price. All the features of any high caliber watch, like a Rolex, without the price. This is a true Classic Time piece.



Would highly recommend it for a man on the go!

I fell in love when i saw this wath here on Amazon... i had it on my wish list for almost a year because i didnt want to pay that much for it($450), and then i saw it for $100 off and inmediatly bought it! I love the way it looks.. it's elegant, but at the same time, it's casual! it goes with everything.. the only little detail (thats why i gave it 4 starts) is the fact that the leather strap (great look), ripped after two years of constantly wearing it.. i do live in a tropical weather, so sweat + leather is something you should keep i mind.. as i write this down, i'm waiting for my new strap to arrive ($60). Can't wait to wear my watch again!!

Nice look, elegant, the definition of the colour is "polish brown". I like it. First, look for Tissot with metalic strap, between us$250 - us$350, but, when i see this watch i like it inmediatly, the combination of the dising and the colour remember me the antique watches mixed with today style, i dont know, but it's look better put in your wrist.



Great leather strap, excelent presentation in a big elegant box and the seller it too fast.



I have used for a month before making my recomendation. I do not regret at all.

I do recomend you the seller and Victorinox. - Victorinox Swiss Watch - Brown - Classic - Swiss Army'
