Just as crappy as the Garmin but for different reasons.
3 of 3 found this helpful Had this for about a month so far. Had to reset it once for freezing. Had to switch to the classic view for not seeing well with the new stealthy styled dark background, ooooo! Maybe its good for night time. Had to put double sided tape on the mount so it would stop popping off. Everyone was right, the mount is total trash. Total shame on Rand for that. The routing is slightly better than the Garmin. My Garmin crapped out after 3 months and had to send it for repair. Havent had this one as long but if the Garmin was reliable, I’d take it over the Rand, even though the Garmin routing was often horrible, it was easier to use, stayed on the mount and gave much better warning on turn by turn. Theyre both overpriced pieces of garbage. Id recommend trying whoever makes the third choice for Truck GPS. I dont think you could do any worse.

Jaybird bluebuds X bluetooth earbud headphones
2 of 3 found this helpful Jaybird bluebuds X - They cut out or "skip" about every time I use them at least once or twice but quite a bit when I run. The sound is good but I would get the new X2 version instead as they claim to have fixed the skip issues and improved the mid range. I really like not having a cord to plug in and it really eliminates the problem of snags and risk of breaking the internal wires from inadvertent bending. I bought these after I shorted out a pair of earbuds after 2 days from accidentally bending them. I paid like $72 for these Bluebuds listed as new and turned out have been slightly used with a little earwax grease on the tips. Kind of gross. I feel like I paid a little too much all things considered but if you can get a good deal on the x2 version, Id go with that for sure. But These came with a bunch of different soft earpieces so they will fit anybody. I tried all the configurations until I found the one that suited me best. The new X2 buds are probably the best on the market. I like these 1st gen Xs but I plan to upgrade when the price comes down on the X2s. The only design flaw I can see is that they are at risk of loss if you hang them around your neck when not in use as they could potentially fall on the ground somewhere and you might not notice. Oh yeah and you can also take phone calls on them when they come by manipulating the 3 button control pad, which is convenient. Volume, pause and track selection can be made also. These are ok if you dont have much money and want a wireless headset to work out with or chill.

This thing is cool and handy for tracking heart rate data. You should get 1
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought the F11 obviously to monitor my heart rate. I got it used since I wasnt sure if I needed one or not since I never used one before. I dont regret the purchase and in hindsight I wouldnt mind shelling out the extra money for a new one. I like being able to understand the rate my heart pumps when I exercise and it helps me find my target heart rate which I think is supposed to be good for fat loss. I also like knowing what my heart rate is when I am working hard on a run. I haven't used all the features this thing has but so far its cool. Im not sure how it compares to the cheaper wrist only models from china but I suspect its much more accurate and reliable. I would recommend the F11 to anyone who is serious about running and is interested in their heart rate data. This thing tracks a bunch of stuff for you.
