Decided to purchase a G-Shock after going through a few Timex Ironman models over the last few years, which never seemed to last that long (LCD display on one, watchband on another – which is integrated with the timepiece on that model and can’t be replaced, making the watch unwearable when the band breaks – and most recently, the stopwatch function intermittently stopping on another).
The Casio G-Shock line has a good reputation for durability, and this particular model (G7700-1) is a good watch at a good price, and I do like it. A couple of things to note, though, especially for those planning to use it during running/endurance workouts and considering a switch from the various Ironman models:
1)The button to illuminate the face, although marked with a cool “G”, is relatively difficult to depress – a bit too small and recessed. And when you do depress it, the face illuminates very briefly. This probably helps extend battery life, but for those who find themselves doing their workouts a lot in the dark, either in the early morning or evening, you will likely want to use the illumination function often enough to find it inconvenient, especially in comparison to the various Ironman models, which usually have larger buttons for this and stay illuminated a bit longer.
2) The interval timer function allows a cycle of two different intervals in sequence, but once set up, will only repeat the cycle 5 times. For those who like to use an interval timer for run/walk intervals, speed work, etc., this is simply not enough. I’ve taken to carrying one of my old Timex Ironman watches (the one with the broken band) in my pocket on longer runs or track workouts so I don’t have to constantly reset this function.
So, a good value, and a nicer watch to wear during the day than most digitals, but not as optimized for running/endurance workouts as one would hope.

I really liked how this worked; like most reviewers I didn’t think it would stay on the dashboard or allow me to move it around–but it did. However, after some time it loses flexibility and stops gripping–that is, you can put it on your dashboard but it’s just lying there–it no longer has much/any traction and will easily fall off. I’ve done some dangerous things as I’ve lunged to keep it from flying off–now I never accelerate rapidly or turn sharply because it will fly off. I also have to push it further back on the dash (to a flatter place) than I would like visually to keep it from falling off.

I’ve had it now about a year although it hasn’t been “working” correctly for months. I live in a very hot climate which perhaps plays a role but it’s only on the dash when I’m driving; I hide the Garmin at all other times. So its exposure to high heat isn’t that bad.

I’m now buying a new one–which I suppose gives a mixed message. $23 for 6 – 8 months? Not terrible but far from wonderful.

Bought this because our old scale was giving us different readings every time it was stepped on.
The 4 sensor design is what makes this so accurate. Our old scale only had one so if you leaned in any direction while the scale was taking a reading it would be off. If I step on this scale four times in a row I get the same reading. Perfect.

Talk about going back in time! I remember reading this in school over 50 years ago…and what memories it brings back. Good stuff…I feel like a kid again!

Like many other reviewers who purchased this scale, I was tired of the unreliability of my analog scale and would like one that gives consistent readings. After reading the overwhelmingly positive reviews I decided on this EatSmart scale. I’ve used it for a little over a month now, tracking and recording my weight almost daily. For the most part I agreed with the positive reviews: it is nice to look at, easy to use, and does give out consistent readings. However, I’ve also noticed some anomalies.

What I’ve noticed is that this scale (mine at least) only gives out a couple of different numbers for the first decimal place of a given pound reading. What I mean is, if the scale tells me my weight is 110.4 (fictitional number) on that day, the next time my weight hits the 110 range it would still be 110.4. If my weight is 111.6 one day, next time my weight hits the 111 range the first decimal place will very likely be 6 and not some other numbers.

This all could be a coincidence so I decided to run a little experiment. I used two oranges, weighing between 8 to 9 ounces each (about .5 pound). I first weigh myself and get one reading, say 110. Then I weigh myself again with one orange; the scale would still report 110. Only until I weigh myself with two oranges I get an increment in reading, say 111.2 for example. Now if I remove one orange and weigh myself again, the same me with one orange would now weight 111.2 instead of 110. After I remove the last orange and weigh only myself again, my weight reading would return to 110. The result of this crude experiment, and my experience of using it daily, suggests to me that there may be some memory mechanism in the scale to make it give out consisent readings for repeated measures over a short period of time. It could also be that the scale applies some heavy filtering mechanism to remove all fluctuations below one pound to make multiple readings consistent.

The bottomline is it’s probably a good scale to track relative b

I’ve owned several of these. I love being able to quietly change the channels on someone elses TV – and leave them stumped as to what’s going on. Every one I’ve owned has had the same problem though. After about a couple years the band dries out, cracks, and breaks. Lately, I’ve been taking it off before washing the dishes, or using any cleaners, which seems to make the band last longer.

This is a must-have for anyone that into gadgets, or can never find the remote.

My husband and I love the Wii! We have spent many hours playing and improving our skills. You won’t be disappointed! An added benefit has been being able to downstream movies from Netflix. We had no idea we would be able to do this!

Looked for a long time for anything that would get my husband on his feet and moving that was not called exercise. He has PPS and even walking is painful. He can stand as long as he can then sit in a chair and play all of the games in the Wii sports package and be moving more than he has in some time and have fun doing it.

This was a fast easy purchase and I love the program. I highly recommend this seller!
