Definite upgrade from Fenix2.
349406
I have updated from Fenix2 to Fenix 3, which is a definite shift up but so far the only problem is while Fenix2 was not good enough GPS-wise and restarted itself on long runs, Fenix3 measures the distances less. For example, a classic route of mine is 4.8K, but this one measures 4.5K (which is a little less than %10 off).

I previously owned Suunto Ambit. Great watch. Then I bought the Ambit 3, which I had terrible issues with bluetooth connectivity with smartphone. It just stopped receiving notifications. I returned that one and got my Garmin Fenix 3. Superb quality, way better UI than the suunto. I love the design and it's widgets, connectivity. Very easy to read in sunlight. A lot of customizable app, training and outdoor activities. Unlike Suunto Ambit band costs $69 whereas garmin fenix cost $22.95.

Get one and try it for few days and I'm sure you'll fall in love with it.

I own an original Inova X1 with Tiros optics that I've been using as a general purpose light for years. Even though it's a great light for seeing things that are within 30ft, it didn't offer enough light for seeing things at a far distance.

I did some research to find a better flashlight and after looking at offerings from Inova and some other brands I decided to get this Fenix which for the price is awesome. I strictly wanted something that used AA batteries like my old Inova instead of the CR123 batteries that many high quality flashlights require. Since Inova doesn't have a 2-cell AA flashlight and since I use rechargeable Ni-MH AAs, this Fenix was a no brainer.

The light output from this Fenix is phenomenal for its size. The beam has a nice center hotspot with a wide flood. Even though the beam is fully adjustible for a smoother flood, I personally prefer the default "dual beam" because it allows long distance throw while at the same time providing a wide coverage area so you could see more of the surrounding areas.

The LED's light is white for the most part. There's no bluish tint like the Xenon-based lights. This flashlight's output is regulated so as the battery drains you will not get a gradual dimming of the beam, instead the light output will be at full bright until near the end when the light will immediatly go into a dim state. On two high capacity Ni-MH AA batteries, this light offers between 2-3 hrs of continuous high output light.

The quality of this light is excellent too. The aluminum body is machined very well and the anodized Type III finish is very even. It's also waterproof and uses a glass lense with AR coating. I also like the tactical tailcap switch which offers reliable click on/off and momentary functions. No more twisting to turn it on/off. One thing I would've liked this light to have is variable light intensity instead of just one brightness setting.

Huge upgrade from my Elecraft KX3.  The waterfall display alone is worth buying this rig.

It also has a quieter, gentler, receiver.  Side-by-side testing with my KX3 on the same antenna, I hear a sort of "freight train" S3 roar on the KX3, but much softer hiss on the Icom.  Nothing I do with NR / DSP on the Elecraft matches the Icom's out-of-the-box audio.

Many other nice touches.  Solid and well-built, included ATU, tap on waterfall to seek to a frequency, SD card for audio recording and screen shots.  Was making contacts into Canada within minutes of plugging in the radio.

Though I wouldn't like the touch screen, but it works well.

If I had any wishes, it would be for a 2nd RX antenna jack, and more buttons.  Tapping to change bands or enter a frequency is no big deal though.

I wanted to contribute to the feedback of general PDA and Handspring fans as an actual Prism owner and everyday user and say, it's worth it!
I had an old Palm III (and before that a Palm Pilot Personal), and am a longtime fan of the simplicity-is-key brilliance of the Palm OS.  When Handspring debuted with its expansion slot, I knew my next PDA would come from them.  In 2000, they came out with the faster Platinum, and the color Prism, and I mulled over the two until my brain started smoking.
I sprang, ultimately, for the Prism, even though I thought the color would be just a gimmick at best.  But now I'm convinced: it makes a world of difference.  I could never go back to the green screen.  Even out of the box it's a more pleasant user experience - easier on the eyes.  And no time at all, I'd downloaded heaps of free apps that took advantage of the color (including some gorgeous games, photo album utilities and movie players).
I also got the eyemodule digital camera add-in (also available at Amazon - I had to put the expansion slot to use, after all), and it makes a great partner to the Prism.
The Prism's screen is not as brilliant as the Palm IIIc or other PocketPCs - but the greater color depth makes a world of difference compared to the former.  It's hard to use outdoors in the sun, but if you're a cubicle inmate like me, it shouldn't be a problem.
Another distinguishing feature of the Prism is the rechargable battery.  At first I thought I'd feel weird depending on the charging cradle, but it's second nature... and it absolutely beats wasting AAA batteries or fiddling with rechargable AAAs (I've a desk full of 'em!).  With daily use, I've yet to see my battery meter drop below three-quarters full.  The biggest downside is travel - make sure you have a travel charger cable (also available on Amazon).
And the speed is nothing to sneeze at.  Both the Prism and Platinum boast a boost of 50 percent over previous models... and compared to my old Palm III?  Thinking back to life then is like remembering my first 486 computer.
Other notes:  The Prism is slightly thicker and heavier (with a power button on the right side), so custom cases you have for other Visors might not work (I use Handspring's own "sport case" with no problems).  Also, it's contrast settings are sometimes off out of the factory, but an "easter egg fix" posted around the web can solve most "shimmer/flicker" problems.
Bottom line?  The Prism is the first PDA to have it all.  The simplicity and efficiency of the Palm OS.  The speed of the latest chips.  A built-in long-life rechargable battery.  And a color screen.  If you were debating between the latest offerings like I was, the extra dollars are definitely worth it.

I bought a Wally Bifold earlier this year that I was extremely satisfied with and then recently saw the new Flexlock version. Definitely an upgrade in function and in quality. Leather and stitching does seem improved (and it was already good in the previous model) and the Flexlock feature solved the possibility of cards falling out with the previous model (which I actually never experienced anyway).

Much faster than its 2.0 predecessor with built in LED indication.  Another quality product from PNY

Bought this to replace my Atheros card in a Toshiba laptop that hated windows 10. My bandwidth had a massive improvement. With nothing else running my transfer rate was generally around 1MB/s now this card averages 80MB/s. There was some additional upgrades done to my network that helped the improvement but combined it has been a massive improvement. The other changes I made was this card 5Ghz where my old was just 2.4 and N. I upgraded my router to a dual band AC to match this and could not be any happier.

Bought this to replace my failing Logitech G700.
In a world where eveyone wants wireless things and Laser-sensor mice, this OPTICAL, WIRED mouse was a nice change.
The cord is a very nice, long cable with a nice braided outer jacket and looks to be fairly durable.
The texture of the mouse is a very nice feeling surface though your fingers seem to wear the surface visually somewhat quickly (at least compared to my G700)
The side buttons are in a nice spot and all buttons are satisfying to use.

I'm not a huge fan of RGB lighting and have all the lights turned off via the easy to use software.

Surface tracking on my soft mouse pad is superb.
I've turned off acceleration and the mouse feels great to use in any situation, games or otherwise.
Easily the nicest tracking feel of any mouse I've used recently
A definite HUGE step up from laser-based sensors, though be careful as optical mice are picky about surfaces compared to laser mice.

My only wish is that Mionix will release configuration software for Mac OS as I use this on both windows and Mac systems.
Luckily, configuration changes are rare, and persist after making changes using the windows-based software.

This mouse is a great piece of hardware and my liking of it is only rivaled by the Logitech Mouseman dual optical from back in the day.

This is hands down the BEST light on the market.  I have tried many.  The Dual Distance Beam really works with a beam focused out at about 15-20 feet for when you're on point and another beam focused perfectly on the front wheel for when you are in the pace line.  Extremely well constructed.  This is a very high quality product just as you would expect from Fenix!!!

Shipped from PrimeDeal and came in fantastic condition. Unfortunately, it's not nearly as refined as the Fenix 2 for fitness so it went back and the 2 was ordered. If you are planning on using this for hiking and exploring, there is no reason at all to spend more money on the 2.

I have been an owner of the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Fenix-PD32-Compact-315-Lumen-LED-Flashlight/dp/B0062PVSGW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Fenix PD32 Compact 315 Lumen LED Flashlight</a>&nbsp;for exactly one year.  I have been very satisfied with it and although I am not a heavy user, I have been surprised at the battery life it has given me.  Similar to other owners, i believe it provides an excellent balance of size/weight/durability/brightness/battery life/etc..

So...when i heard that Fenix had produced an "ultimate edition" version of the torch i already had AND that it was more than twice as bright, while still seemingly providing the same feature balance mentioned above, I had to have it.  I didn't need it, my existing PD32 was more than adequate.  However, i just HAD to know what it was like to have something twice as bright in such a small device.

Well, it arrived today and i have only spent a few minutes in daylight and a few more at night doing a couple basic tests.  Without question, this looks to be as advertised.  It takes things to a whole new level in terms of brightness and will be my primary torch carried in my pack each day.

I'm no flashlight expert but if you are willing to spend 70ish bucks on one and you hope to get an excellent overall balance of size, weight, durability and brightness, I'm guessing this would be hard to beat.  It feels like something that should last a very long time...and when you consider longevity into the equation, the initial acquisition cost seems much more reasonable.

The HRM-Run provides amazing reports when used with running. (Running dynamics)  I've paired the HRM-Run with a Garmin Fenix 2. The pairing process was simple and only needs to be done once. The main benefit is "heart rate" information, but this particular monitor provides much more when paired with a watch like the Fenix 2.

Here's some of the information provided when paired with the Fenix 2:
- Ground Contact time- How long were my big sloppy feet in contact with the ground? (Too long in my case. )
- Vertical Oscillation - Am I bouncing around while running? (Nope.)
- Heart Rate - Yep, the old heart is beating.
- Cadence - Step per minute
-  Pace / Speed (from watch)
- Elevation (from watch)

Garmin Connect produces detailed Run reports with all of this information.

The strap chaffs my left side and has produced some nasty sores, so only four stars. I've placed bandaids over the sharp areas and that helps a lot.

I just upgraded to this system from the older Yongnuo system with the dedicated triggers and receivers. This new system is SO much better! It's fantastic! You can work on different channels and turn off different lights all from one device; it's so much faster and easier than the old way!

I have well over 30 flashlights in my collection and most have been professionally modded and my all time favorite is this light running stock with a Sony VTC5 high drain battery. The beam is perfect which is something most people can't appreciate until they buy a flashlight of this quality and the output is excellent for a single cell 18650 light. Fenix has always had the best anodizing, reflectors, threading and switches. I much prefer the rubber mode switch on the 2014 addition over the flat aluminum one on the newer version and the performance bump on the newer version is negligible.

Two years ago, I bought my first optical mouse. I instantly loved it, except the cord frequently got in my way. Recently, I decided to purchase a cordless mouse, and felt the Logitech MX700 Cordless Optical Mouse was the way to go.
Besides being cordless, optical, and a Logitech product (they hold up really well), the included rechargable batteries and charging station/wireless base attracted me to the MX700. Features I became so accustomed to on my first optical mouse -- buttons to move ahead and back one page in my web browser, and a scroll wheel -- are included, so I lost no functionality.
The MX700 includes three other buttons that some may find handy: one each to scroll up or down a page, and one to switch between active windows on your desktop. Personally, I have little use for these.
Aesthetically, it's a sleek looking device with its black and silver matte exterior. Because of the batteries, the MX700 is slightly heavier than the average mouse, but the weight difference is negligible.
I have two minor complaints about this product. First, the mouse is longer than I'm used to, so my feel for it will need to adjust. Second, it's not ambidextrous -- southpaws are out of luck on this one for now.
Unless you have two spare AA batteries, this is not a mouse you can set up in a hurry. You'll need to fully charge the included batteries before installing the mouse. I charged my mouse overnight, so I can't say approximately how long it took.
Overall, it's a great mouse, accurate to a fault, and PC and Mac compatible. (Good news for me, since I plan to switch to Mac sometime this year.)
UPDATE, 1/12/04: I installed the mouse onto my new Mac last week, and it worked straight away without installing any drivers. To use the additional buttons, though, I had to install the drivers.
