Samsung Gear S3 Classic

Samsung Gear S3 Classic


So not too long ago my dress watch's battery died so I decided to purchase this through Verizon and give it a try. I opted for the number share feature that allows you to use this device standalone even if you are away from your phone. It connects to my phone via bluetooth but can also work with the number share service I have. The previous versions of the Gear were ok but something about the look of this one and the standard watch band that can be purchased made this a great option for me. The Samsung Gear S2 was alright but the limited number of bands that could be purchased was a bit of a let down and its looks weren't quite what I was hoping for. It looked ok for day to day usage but looked a bit silly when I would dress up for dinner or things of that nature. What a refreshing purchase the S3 has been. Out of the box professional looking and I have to say the performance and options this watch has when paired with my Note 8 are incredible. I always thought fitness watches like the Fit Bit were kind of silly but I have come to love the Samsung Health features on this watch. I just started a step challenge with my boss, first to 30000 wins. If I'm not mistaken the watch debuted in late 2016 so it should be interesting to see what Samsung comes out with next. The application notification features are perfect from phone to watch. If my phone ever sends a notification I can select which apps then send notifications to my watch. All of my important apps, or at least ones I pay close attention to notify my watch. If my phone is in my pocket and I hear a notification and it doesn't alert me on my watch then I really don't care what it was. I get a nice run down of the notification for instance with gmail. I can read the email right there on my watch or just get the jist of it and look at it on my phone. Want to make a call and don't feel like lugging out your phone? Why not just dial right from your wrist, same thing with text messages all though typing on my watch is really cumbersome. All in all yet another amazing piece of technology that ties into my daily life. Recommend this to anyone looking to change how you can use your phone and oh by the way I guess it does tell you the time too LOL

My Streamsmart

If you want to watch everything that TV has to offer and you don't want to watch it on a schedule set by your cable provider then I recommend a streaming device. When I say a streaming device I am referring to a streamsmart pro. With everything that cable, netflix, hulu, PPV, sports packages, in theater movies, every tv show ever made with every season, then I recommend this streaming device. I have been playing with this the last 6 months and I still can't find something that is not on there. I am quite a tech geek and this is the best piece of technology that I have bought in the last 10 years! It is so great that I ended up buying 2 of them since I was transferring it every night from the living room to the bedroom. I no longer need cable and get to watch what I want when I want. The other great thing is that every sporting event going on is televised on this thing. No worry about local blackouts on this box, its televised. I have to give 2 huge thumbs up to this amazing dev

Candlewood Birds of May

These are the selected birds of May in Candlewood at my parent's house. They just bought a new house in a lovely retirement community and I went out there to take pictures for the day. I was surprised at how many lovely birds were out that day. Woodpeckers, Cardinals, Sparrows and so much more showed their face that day. I was fortunate enough to get some good pictures of them and was able to publish them online. My girlfriend bought me an amazing camera for my birthday and I have been taking advantage of it. Will coffee get me through? I think so! Here is to another great photo shoot and I love all of you!
