Casio Men's G-Shock Atomic Tough Solar Watch #GW530A-1V

This is an excellent watch. 5/5 Stars, available on Amazon here.


One feature I completely forgot to mention is the Atomic time keeping. Every night at 3:00, 4:00 and 5:00 this watch goes out to update the current time, making sure it stays accurate.

While good in theory, I have yet to be able to get this watch to successfully update the time. There is a way to see the time it last updated, and mine reports a date from before I even owned it. Probably while it was being stored or something.

The instructions say it must be near a window, or preferably outside during the update, with no obstructions, so it can obtain a good signal. I have not tried doing it under these optimal conditions yet, and predict having no issues once I do.

Motorola MOTOROKR S9 Bluetooth Headphones

I listen to music pretty much all of the time, especially when I am traveling to and from class. One huge complaint I have, however is with the cord associated with my headphones. I found myself catching this on door knobs, getting it caught in my zipper, etc. So I decided that since my phone supports bluetooth headphones, I would give the Motorola MOTOROKR S9 bluetooth headphones from Motorola a try. I give them a rating of 2/5 stars. I'll let the video do the talking.


As you can see from the video, I am very unimpressed with this product. So much so that I won't even put a link to the Amazon page for you to go and purchase them. However, if you do find them on Amazon, please not the price of around $70.00 is way more then I paid for these headphones. I only paid $40.00, and would still classify them as not worth it.
