Find Best Price at Amazon"PROs: - Large screen, easy to read display. - Nice gorilla glass screen that doesn't get scratched. - Accurate heart rate monitor without the need for chest strap. - Automatically tracks steps, sleep, workouts, heart rate. You really don't need to manually start activities like running, walking, or elliptical, the watch automatically picks up these activities and logs them based on movement and heart rate. CONs: - Hexagonal design may not be aesthetically pleasing (but not bad once you get used to it). - No built-in GPS to map runs and bike rides (need to carry phone to map). - Not waterproof so can't be worn in the pool. - Watch needs to be removed from frame every time for charging. - Screen doesn't always come on when I raise my wrist. **. SCREEN – I am used to wearing somewhat large watches like the Garmin 920XT, and the Blaze is just fine. Yes, the design may seem odd a bit at first given the width and the space between the frame and actual watch, but the benefit of a large size is that the screen is super easy to read without having to pull your wrist up, a simple flick and you can view all snapshots and smart notifications in a discrete way (useful when you're sitting in meetings). The screen, similar to the Apple watch, stays off, and can be turned on with the simple turn of a wrist. I have found that raising the wrist doesn't always turn on the screen (this works flawlessly with the Apple watch), however if you "flick" your wrist towards you, the screen will turn on right away. I have extensively compared heart rate shown by the Blaze to that shown by the Apple watch (which is usually WAY off) and that shown by my Garmin chest strap HRM, which is considered the most accurate. With the built-in heart rate monitor, it automatically tracks your activities and calories burnt in case you forget to manually start a workout on the watch. With the Blaze, it has an Auto-Sleep feature that doesn't require you to turn on the sleep mode, it will automatically detect that you are sleeping based on lack of movement and heart rate. I did notice that if I am using my phone like listening to music (and not looking at the phone screen), notifications do not show on the watch. I charger like the Apple watch would have been ideal where you can simply drop the watch on the charging pad and it will charge right away. That being said, I have accidentally worn the Blaze in the shower a few times already (I'm probably still used to my Garmin watch which I didn't need to take off) and the watch held up just fine. QUICK COMPARISON WITH APPLE WATCH: - Apple watch is sleeker and feels more comfortable on the wrist. - Apple watch has a better and crisper resolution compared to Blaze's screen. Apple watch doesn't track sleep and requires you to manually start logging an activity. - Both have smart notifications and show text messages, calls, calendar appointments, but Apple watch lets you do more like view WhatsApp messages and other phone notifications, and answer calls right on the watch. - Blaze has a 5-6 day battery life with normal use compared to Apple watch which needs to be charged every 1-2 days. - Blaze - $199, Apple watch - $349 for base model. BOTTOM LINE: - If you have an older fitness tracker band like the Fitbit Flex or Jawbone Up, the Blaze is a great upgrade with all its new features (heart rate monitor, auto activity/sleep tracker, smart notifications). - If you have an Apple watch, I guess the Blaze doesn't offer that much more to make it worthy of a switch (though I'm a huge fan of the accurate HRM and auto tracking in the Blaze). Just adding a few minor observations in addition to the initial review: - If you let the watch automatically track a workout, it starts logging it after the first 5-10 minutes, basically only once your heart rate picks up. Minor issue, immaterial in my opinion - if you want a precise log of your workouts, you can manually start the workout on the watch and it will log it as a 1-hour workout. - The watch automatically detects when you're sleeping based on movement (lack of) and heart rate, however it doesn't automatically turn off notifications during this time. To turn off notifications when sleeping, you can either put your phone in sleep mode, or switch off notifications on the watch by simply swiping down on the main screen."

"I wanted to amend this review as Mifa owned up to the issue and promptly replaced the watch band at no cost to me. Here is the excerpt from the email: "We thank you for posting the video on Amazon so we were able to address the latching issue as a QC priority. The reason it’s getting 2 stars is because the top band doesn’t latch going on in one direction, making it very easy to fall off and become damaged as another reviewer pointed out."
"Band doesn't seem to be made from genuine leather, or the best materials - you get what you pay for."
"I only purchased this to use temporarily to decide if I wanted to spend the money on the MUCH more expensive Apple Hermes leather strap. I can't say how well it will hold up since I have only used it a few times, but it appears to be extremely well made, especially considering the price. I rolled up both straps VERY tightly and put a rubber band around each one. I left them like that overnight, and the next morning, I bent them back and forth repeatedly, rolling the leather, trying to soften them up."
"It attaches firmly to my Apple Watch (the original model), and has a pleasantly supple feel to it, yet it's not too flimsy. In this instance, the black main color of the band is elegantly contrasted by the orange leather underneath."
"The orange on the black band is pretty prominent so be sure you want some orange accents on your band before purchasing."
"POS!!"

"These are my first crocs. Well, I bought the crocs and they are awesome!"
"literally best purchase of my life."
"I love my other pair of Crocs (Caymen style) so I've been looking for a yellow pair for awhile."
"I seldom use the straps and usually have them forward and on top of the shoe, so whether or not I can straighten that strap, I will come up with a way to attach them to the top of the shoe."
"But other positive aspects of these shoes are that they are comfortable, breathable, easy to clean, water resistant, come in all colors, and the list is endless! I have had a very positive experience with my crocs and I would recommend any to purchase these, because they are worth the money. I am all about convenience and these shoes are my go to whenever I’m about to run out and need to slide something on quick. These shoes are made for everyone and not only are they convenient for an adult to wear, they are perfect shoes for children to wear as well."
"They're comfortable, are well ventilated enough to let my feet air out (foot funk is truly nasty) and don't slip off as easily with the strap in back."
"I bought it slightly bigger for a better comfort wearing by 1 size number and it is just nice when I tried out."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The black one is similar to the gray, not quite as soft as the blue but it's comfortable and looks really cute with leggings or jeans. The only downsides to them is the sleeve length is a little shorter than I like, hitting right at the wrist when my arms are down, and the puffiness at the hips that makes me look a little bigger there than I am. **UPDATE: I bought the gray one because, despite the frump factor, the blue one is seriously the coziest shirt I've ever owned. The gray one feels totally different, it's almost scratchy, even with a tank top under it and not quite as stretchy (the blue bounces back and doesn't stay stretched, btw). It seems to ride up above the band when I move and I feel like it makes me look frumpy unless my hands are in the pockets."
"I'm 5'4 tall and weigh 115 lbs 34a I ordered small 4-6 and fits perfect for me 😊 I love the material so soft and comfy."
"Love this shirt!"
"You can dress it up or down.They are not as loose fitting as the model in the picture, but if you want it super loose like that then it's going to take away any shape you might have and the pockets will be saggy. It's not super baggy but not so tight you can see every nook and cranny."
"Now as for sizing it is so hard to say if this top runs true to size because if you look in my closet I have tops that are size small, medium and large. I would have to say I own more mediun size tops than anything so if I go by that I would have to say this top runs a little small because I ordered the large and it fits perfectly. I ordered the dark grey in XL to see how that size looks with leggings and I ordered the black in large but those are not here yet so I can't comment on size consistency. ONLY thing is I ordered Large in all 3 colors and the wine color is a smaller fit than the black and blue tops."
"I'm an average M/size 6-8 in almost everything. The neck is really long with buttons up it, do with that what you will, it wasn't shown in photos."

Find Best Price at Amazon"It holds a DSLR camera with 18-270mm lens attached and one speedlight. Then there's plenty of room for my wallet, books, cell phone, and all the usual stuff. Dimensions: 14"x 8" x 13" (approx). The drawstring makes it reasonably secure for the camera gear but is quick and easy to open and close. The inner and outer pockets are deep, and the lining appears to be durable."
"Usually, I switch from my Michael Kors, Cole Haan, or Louis Vuitton handbags for every day use. I have a couple of inexpensive clutches as well, but for the most part, my handbags are made of real leather and are somewhat costly. I wanted an everyday purse, somewhat large but not huge, that looks and feels like a quality bag but without the price tag. The inside lining seems sturdy and I like that it is a darker brown color so that any lip gloss stains, or pen marks, etc., will not show."
"The bag is a little heavier than I expected and I feel the strap could've been a little wider for easier cross body carry, but the regular handles are wide and long enough to carry the bag on your shoulder without the long strap."
"I love this bag!"
"I really like this bag for a few reasons."
"I have sealed the handbag in a garbage bag with a box of baking soda and half a can of foot odor spray for 10 hours (I got these instructions online)."
