Unstoppable?
 

Anyone with experience, positive or negative, with Citizen Eco-Drive watches? I'm sick of replacing batteries.

Re: Unstoppable?
 

No, but my father has one, and it's not given him a problem. It's pretty new, though, so YMMV.

I wear a Casio Waveceptor (solar + auto sync time to NIST broadcast), and it has also been problem-free after five or more years, except that (1) a bit of metallic paint flaked off of a plastic part of the case, which I retouched with some silver nail polish, and it ain't exactly good as new; and (2) the times I've had to set it for a new time zone have been no fun, because as you can imagine there's only so much you can do with an UI on a watch with four buttons and a tiny LCD -- no Help menu, for sure.

Amazon reviews not so good.

I bought a Seiko automatic watch from Amazon in January of 2008 but it runs pretty damn slow, about 5 minutes a month and now has a cracked crystal that needs replacing. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg

I would rather get this:

Flip video cams? Thumbs up or down?

I gave one to my sister for Christmas. She loves it.

My son loved his for the first week. Now it tends to sit on the shelf largely unused. But he doesn't have your need to record memories of his fading virility.

Sounds good. I need a new toy. Easy recording of puppy pics.

Hmmm, based on that assessment, it is clear that Hank's wife is not kissing and telling, sts. I made need her to step up the PR campaign on my behalf. :eek::D

1- it doesn't count as a fecta if it's two versions of your name.

2- the new shuffle? it's no smaller overall. it's thinner and longer, but other than GGG's past lovers maybe thinking he's started a penile enlargement program I see no value there. I really dislike the FF and stop being the same switch. I swear I have to stop running sometimes just to fast forward.

That is all.

Yay puppies!

Re: Other Gadgets (general gadgets)
 

Too bad it doesn't have an anti-yap feature.

But those puppies sure are cute.

Re: Other Gadgets (general gadgets)
 

Super cute.

What's a fecta?


So is your vote for Flip or new shuffle?

Re: shuffle post #78
 

(1) You mean the iPod nano, not shuffle.

(2) iPod nano video is 640 x 480, 30 fps, which is the same as the Flip Ultra and the Flip Mino, but much worse than the MinoHD or UltraHD. If you want to play your videos on anything other than a small screen or in a web browser, you should go for one of the better Flips.

(3) I don't know anyone who bought an iPod or phone primarily for shooting video. There's probably a reason for that.

There it is then. Gratzie.

eta: in light of that exchange, hank should surrender the most helpful title to you. no offence.
