Armitron Sport Men's 20/4942BLK Sport Watch



My name is Bill and I have a problem!  I have become hooked on watches.  While the younger generation is looking at their smart phones (I have one) for the time, I still glance at my wrist.  The plus side of this watch is that it has a traditional watch band, not weird clasps that mimic traditional bands, no expansion band just a "traditional" plastic band.   I chose this watch out of those offered due to that fact and that it has a light.  Rather than dig my phone out in a rock concert (classic rock like the WHO)  I like just pushing a button and having my dial light up.   That's the good news.  

Here is the bad, I have 20/20 vision with my bifocals.  The instructions for the watch may have well been printed on the head of a pin.  The font appears to be smaller than 4pts.   I am not at home and don't carry a magnifying glass with me while I travel.   It would have helped with the instructions.   It is possible due to the nearly impossible to read instructions that I am not able to set the date.  I did set the digital time but frankly am not sure how that happen.  The analog time is plain old, plain old, you pull the stem and turn the hands.  I will wear the watch  due to the analog time and the light.   All the other features including date, digital time, 2nd travel zone, stop watch etc may work just fine if I could read the blanketity blank instructions. Considering the fact that senior citizens appear to be the only age category that consistently wears a watch, I would suggest instructions in a legible font size would be a major selling factor.

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You
