LG HBS-910 Tone Infinim For $49.95 - Bargain For The Best

LG HBS-910 Tone Infinim Bluetooth Stereo Headset (Black) - eSureBuy.com. Two years ago, I paid $150 for the black LG Tone Infinim 910 headset. I also bought a pair for SWMBO, and she loved them. She preferred the Silver color, and they are also available in Rose Gold. I have bought and used many wireless headsets since; most recently, the Google Pixel Buds, and I always come back to my trusty 910s. Why? Well, I don't like wearing buds all the time. I tend to want to put them in my ear only when I need them, or want to listen to music. Second, they hang around the neck, just waiting to be used, and you don't even realize you are wearing them. Third, the ear buds retract, and I leave one hanging most of the time, putting it in my ear when a call comes in. But, the best reason is that when a call comes in, they gently vibrate on the neck, and I know that a call is coming in. There is an Android app, LG Tone and Talk, that adds features like reading incoming texts and messages.  The sound is great, and you can now get a pair for Fifty bucks. I use these every day. I can see that I will use the Pixel buds when I want instant access to Google Assistant; but, these new buds fall off if they aren't in the ear all the time, and they aren't nearly as comfortable in the ear. What do you use?

3D Printed Charging Stand For Smartphones And Watches

Amazon.com: Artifex Design Stand Configured for Samsung Galaxy Watch, Smartwatch Charging Stand, Artifex Charging Dock Stand (Galaxy 2018 Wireless): Cell Phones & Accessories. I just got this charging stand for my Samsung Note 8 and GalaxyWatch. It is 3d printed, and you can put a QI wireless charger in the hole on the left side, and the Galaxy Watch charger on the stand on the right. Then, to charge, just lay the phone and watch on the stand, and they charge over night, or whenever you aren't wearing them. Cool use of 3D printing technology, and very convenient for those of us with a lot of devices that need charging. I also got one for my LG Watch Urbane 2d Edition with LTE. Easy to keep your devices charged without hunting around for the chargers. 

Galaxy Watch Update - Best Gets Better

Galaxy Watch update improves music playback, charging - 9to5Google. The best Smartwatch in the galaxy got better today. Another update improves music playback and charging, and makes my daily watch even better. Smartwatches can be useful and beautiful, and this one proves it. I had to kiss a lot of frogs to finally get this watch, and it is state of the art. Smartwatches are really wrist computers, and you better believe they are here to stay. If you haven't has the pleasure of going through life with one, you need to check them out. Remember that you didn't think you needed a Smartphone either, bubba. Everything small is big again. 

KardiaMobile EKG Monitor - Instant EKG In Your Pocket

KardiaMobile EKG Monitor - Instant EKG on Your Phone | AliveCor %u2013 AliveCor, Inc.. I get a lot of flak for my love of wearable computing devices; especially my use of Smartwatches. I get texts, emails, documents, and many other practice related functions on a device I wear on my wrist. I even measure my heart rate and number of steps during the day. In a sedentary law practice, I even get gentle vibration reminders when I have been sitting too long, reminding me to take a walk and get active. However, the future is in portable medical devices, and this little Kardia EKG monitor is the most amazing tech I have seen in a while. For $99 and a bluetooth connection to a Smartphone, you can get a medical grade EKG anytime anywhere. For $9.95 a month, it will record the results, and you can create a body of recordings that any cardiologist would find useful for diagnostic purposes. The first one is automatically reviewed by a cardiologist and the results sent back to you. Mine showed a normal sinus rhythm, and a 72 heart rate, which is in range for me. Now, I just have to remember to take one regularly. 

Montblanc Summit 2 - Smartwatch For Rich Techies

Video: Montblanc Summit 2 Unboxing and First Look! %u2013 Droid Life. Okay, now that Wear OS is usable, this is one beautiful Smartwatch. It would pair well with the beautiful Montblanc pen that SWMBO bought me in Las Vegas. However, paying $300 for a quality writing instrument, even if I use my Livescribe a lot more every day, is a far cry from paying $1,100 for a watch, even if it is beautiful and functional. Hey, a Sapphire crystal, Wear OS 2.1, a rotating crown, a big battery, and a new processor all make this a top of the line Smartwatch. But, did I say it costs $1,100? Ouch. 

Google Pixel Buds - Great Sound And Easy To Use

I got a set of Pixel Earbuds yesterday, and they now work fine with any phone that has Google Assistant. No more waiting for tones to talk to the Assistant. Just press the button on the right ear bud, and ask your question. They are small, light, and unobtrusive, and come with a case that charges them when they are inside. This review hits all the features, and shows a demo of Google Translate that is pretty cool. Now, I just need to find someone who speaks a foreign language to communicate with. Oh, yes. Find me a millennial. 

KardiaMobile EKG Monitor - A Doctor In Your Pocket

KardiaMobile EKG Monitor - Instant EKG on Your Phone | AliveCor %u2013 AliveCor, Inc.. As we grow older, the need for medical monitoring of vital signs becomes more important. As technology advances, the ability to monitor our vitals is becoming portable, and always available. For heart patients, it is very helpful to measure heartrate on the sensors located on modern Smartwatches. Blood pressure is able to be checked with inexpensive cuffs. No Doctor required. Now, more complicated measurements are possible, and a medical grade EKG can now be taken with a $99 device connected wirelessly to a Smartphone. If you are, or know, anyone with a heart problem, buy this now. It could save a life.

Google Pixel Buds - Real Time Translation Is Almost Here

The big reason to buy Google Pixel Buds just vanished - SlashGear. I buy and try many types of wireless ear buds; but, I always come back to my LG Infinim necklace wireless headset. It is always around my neck, is comfortable, and I can take calls or call on Google Assistant just by pulling one or both of the retractable buds out and placing them in my ear. However, the Pixel Buds do real time translation (almost) and don't require me to run around saying "OK Google" all the time. I get strange enough looks at the grocery store already. So, I am going to try them, and see whether they will remain around my neck during the day. And, I don't care if I look funny or geeky. I am a Stoic, after all. 

Take That Android Smartwatch Out Of The Drawer - Wear OS 2.1 Is Here

I have been having fun digging out old Android Wear Smartwatches, and seeing how the new version of the software gives them new life. I have installed Wear OS 2.1 on my LG Watch Urbane watches, 2 of which have LTE chips, and I am now wearing the AT&T version. It gives me full access to the Google ecosystem, and swiping left brings up Google Now like information. A long press brings up Google Assistant, and it works just like an Android phone. Ask any of a million questions, and get quick answers. I have linked the phone number on the watch to my Google voice number, so I have the option to take calls on the watch, just like my Galaxy Watch from Samsung. Swipe up and all my notifications appear, from texts, to emails, to facebook notifications, and any other app that I have installed on my phone. Swipe right, and a full functioning Fitness app appears, with heart rate, steps, and more appears. Swipe down for all the Settings you need, from screen brightness to WiFi settings. Watch this short video of the Wear OS update that aired when it was announced. I also have installed the new version on Jacquelyn's Michael Kors designer Rose Gold Access watch for Ariana to use. The new version meshes well with iPhones, so you don't have to settle for a tiny rectangular box from Apple. Get your wrist computer geek on, and learn how these amazing little devices can change your day.

LG Watch Urbane LTE With Wear OS 2.1 - Everything Old Is New Again

Amazon.com: LG Urbane 2nd Edition LTE LG-W200A Black Unlocked GSM: Cell Phones & Accessories. Before I fell in love with the Samsung Galaxy Smartwatches, and the Tizen OS, I bought a few Android Wear OS watches. I hated the Wear OS, which was clunky on a watch interface, and clearly not designed for small screens. But, when the LTE version came out, I was first in line over a year ago; and, since I was on Verizon at the time, I ordered it online. But, true to form, Verizon didn't ship on D Day, so I went to my local AT&T store, and got one there. Later, Verizon mailed its version, which I connected to my Verizon account, and planned to install for SWMBO; but, she thought is was too big and clunky, and she didn't really need a watch phone. So, for a while I had two functioning Urbane LTE watches. I didn't use them much, so I cancelled them, and put them in the box with the rest of the misfit toys. Then, this week, Google finally got a decent version of Wear OS out, and the true benefit of Smartwatches was realized. I went back to AT&T; but, I brought the Verizon watch by mistake. After a quick trip home, I got the AT&T version installed, and a new Nano-SIM put in. Now, I am back to choosing each day between two competent LTE enabled Smartwatches. But, I may start wearing one on each wrist again. I like being the only kid on the block wearing two Smartwatches. Life is short. Get a Smartwatch. (BTW, thanks to the knowledgeable staff at the St. Petersburg AT&T store on U.S. 19 and 11th Ave. North.)Oh, and did I mention that you can buy one of these for around $150 now, and activate them on your current wireless account for $10 a month? It's like putting a brand new crate engine in a 25 year old car. Zoom, zoom.
