Having already used a Garmin Nuvi 370, we were very disappointed with the Nuvi 200. We intend to replace it with the 370 which is far superior. The 200 does not name any of the streets to turn at. It only tells you to turn in point x miles which is not at all helpful when you are driving in an area you are not familiar with. The 370 warns you ahead of time the name of the street to turn at and repeats the name at the point of turning. Just listen and drive. Much easier than having to look down at your Garmin screen and try to read the map.Garmin nüvi 200 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator

Garmin nüvi 360 3.5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator

Garmin nüvi 360 3.5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator

From Garmin

The Garmin nüvi 360 GPS Navigator and Personal Travel Assistant is a GPS navigator, personal translator, multi-media entertainer and tour guide all wrapped into one. In addition to all the advanced features of the Garmin nüvi 350 — including automatic routing, turn-by-turn voice directions, an MP3 player and audio book player, JPEG picture viewer, and much more — this pocket-sized personal travel assistant comes with hands-free Bluetooth wireless technology, making it the hands-down go-anywhere travel companion.

Features

  • Bluetooth wireless technology, built-in microphone, and speaker for hands-free calls with compatible phones
  • MP3 player with pre-loaded sample songs and audio books, JPEG picture viewer, travel alarm, and currency converters
  • 2D or 3D views; pre-loaded with most recent Navteq-driven maps for United States, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Canada
  • Turn-by-turn directions with actual street names; real-time traffic and weather info
  • Super-bright 2.8 x 2.1-inch sunlight-readable color screen

I reviewed many of these user reviews before purchasing this unit. I compared a lot of different makes/models and am very pleased with the performance of the unit. The text-to-speech capabilities are good (sometimes “the voice” is a bit difficult to make out, but overall its acceptable. My favorite function, and the reason I purchased this unit versus the wider-screen version was the bluetooth capability which works wonderfully with both my Blackberry and Motorola cell phones. The suction cup mount is very effective and I had no trouble installing it. This was a great buy for the price - the performance has been terrific.

Garmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator
From Garmin

What if one device could help you navigate anywhere in the U.S. and Canada, while offering travel tips, storing your favorite tunes and photos, providing translation assistance, and more? That device is here, and it’s not much bigger than a deck of cards. The Garmin nüvi 350 is set to revolutionize what we expect from a GPS navigation device, or from any device for that matter.

Features

  • Compact 700 MB GPS navigator with bundled MP3/audiobook player, photo viewer, and world travel clock
  • Small enough to fit in a pocket or purse; mounts on vehicle windshield with included suction cup
  • Preloaded with City Navigator NT V.9 with maps of U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico
  • Turn-by-turn directions, automatic routing, and 320 x 240 color touchscreen display
  • Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot; measures 3.87 x 2.91 x 0.87 inches (W x H x D); 1-year warranty

When using this device, you don’t have to be distracted by looking at the screen, your just listen. Street names are announced in time to make a turn. Driving after sunset is now possible for me. Even if you make a wrong turn it simply recalculates a route. If you start out a different way than Nuvi tells you, no problem it always knows where your are and it just continues to recalculate the route. The sound is clear and you can’t get lost and it can be used in any car you drive.

Omega Men’s Speedmaster Professional Watch #3570.50

Omega Men’s Speedmaster Professional Watch #3570.50
From Omega

Stainless Steel Case & Bracelet, Black Bezel, Chronograph Functions, Manual Wind Movement 48 Hours Power Reserve.

Add a true classic to your timepiece collection with the latest generation of the amazingly precise and rugged Omega Speedmaster. This stainless steel manual winding men’s watch is a replica of the first watch worn on the moon, and it’s engraved on the back with the Omega Speedmaster emblem and notation of its flight qualification for all NASA manned space missions. It includes a powerful chronograph, which offers 12-hour, 30 minute and 1/10 second subdials. Distinctively masculine in design, it features a large, round silver stainless steel watch case with a tachymeter bezel in black with silver markings, and it measures 42mm (1.65 inches) wide.

After much research, I purchased an Omega Speedmaster in 1968 as an 18th birthday present to myself. There were not many chronographs available at that time (Rolex, Breitling, Omega and probably others I no longer remember). To my surprise, that summer (or next), Omega began agressive advertising that it’s watch was the official timepiece of the Apollo Astronauts. It reaffirmed my choice. Thirty years later, it is still the best watch I own (including my Submariner). My only complaint is that I have gone through three or four bracelets/straps. Ironically, a new metal bracelet costs more than the original cost of my Speedmaster ($185). Interestingly, no Rolex owner has ever commented on my Submariner, but fellow Speedmaster owners always start up a conversation with each other. I cannot comment on the new Speedmasters, but mine has been dropped, thrown, drowned, frozen, heated, shaken and abused for 30 years and still runs great. I recommend factory cleaning, vacuum sealing and a new crystal every 10 years or so, just to be safe.

I had been wanting a diamond watch for a very long time but never quite found the design or price I could fall in love with. That changed when we found this watch. The design is simple and elegant, with just a touch of athleticism which I really like. We also were happy with the price. I would recommend this to any woman who wants an elegant but not to “foo foo” diamond watch.

TAG Heuer Men’s Aquaracer Watch #CAF1110.BA0804

From Tag Heuer

Brushed Stainless steel case and bracelet, Black Dial with Silver Sub-Dials, Displays date between 4&5, Luminous hands and hour markers, End of battery life indicator.

Designed to meet the demanding criteria of professional divers, the durable and sporty Aquaracer combines precise timekeeping technology with TAG Heuer’s signature prestige styling. The 41 mm brushed steel case showcases a black dial with a full-color TAG Heuer logo and an automatic date calendar at the 4:30 position. Chronograph subdials at 2 and 10 o’clock display the 1/10 second counter and 12-hour counter respectively, and an additional subdial at 6 o’clock registers the seconds. Luminous hands and hour markers, a chronograph seconds hand, and a red chronograph minute hand with an arrow tip are all designed for optimal radiance and readability. The dial is framed by a unidirectional rotating bezel with an Arabic numeral scale for timing dives and other limited events. The watch presents on a handsome and durable brushed steel link bracelet that features an extension system for divers and fastens with a double safety clasp. Other notable features of this watch include precise Swiss quartz movement, a highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and a screw-down crown and caseback for water resistance to 300 meters. One of TAG Heuer’s bestselling designs, the Aquaracer is the perfect timepiece for all of your water sport adventures.

Love the watch. Love the service. Really love the price. A couple of months ago, I bought another watch from Amazon. Once I got it, I changed my mind on the style and returned it to Amazon. No problems. Easy return. All my money back. Then later, I decided to buy a more expensive watch (the Tag) and bought it knowing that Amazon would back it if I was not happy for any reason. Also, I felt secure that Amazon would not risk their reputation in selling me a replica/fake Tag. I bought it and love the watch even more than I thought. I like the styling and the brand. I am definitely keeping this one. This is my first experience in buying from Amazon and I will plan on more future purchases. What more could you ask for in an online store?

Invicta Midsize Lupah Collection Dragon Chronograph Watch #2094

Invicta Midsize Lupah Collection Dragon Chronograph Watch #2094
From Invicta

Boldly modern with a playful watch face, the Invicta Lupah Dragon (model 2094) offers a perfect accessory match to today’s contemporary casual dress. This precise Swiss-made chronograph timepiece features a highly polished stainless steel case that measures 48mm wide (1.81 inches). The black dial face features a spirograph-like Guilloche curved pattern, large stylized numerals and a chronograph that resembles a smiling face, with measurements for 1/10th of a second, 60 seconds, and 30 minutes of elapsed time. Other features include Tritnite luminous hands, a rounded, bulbous shaped mineral crystal, date display, and a black stain-/scratch-/fade-/water-resistant padded Italian Lorica strap that’s made from a special microfiber blend. The watch is also water-resistant to 100 meters.

Tritnite is a luminous material with an extended glow exclusively developed by Invicta in Switzerland and added to their timepiece hands and markers. When exposed to regular daylight, it will hold its glow for about 20 hours.

I love this watch. I’m wearing it right now as I write this review. It may seem too big in numbers, but it fits perfectly on my wrist and I’m 170, 6″1 which is pretty thin. The watch just looks really nice, classy, flashy, and pretty baller. It also has a stopwatch which looks pretty interesting as it spins wildly and may come to use one day. It’s not really heavy, but I guess I never really had a light watch. It doesn’t really bother me though. The hands have glow in the dark stuff on it, so you can still tell time in the dark.
another plus is that you can say your watch was half a g.

  • Old Original Bezel

Big, bold and masculine, the Invicta Quartz Pro Diver S2 is an affordable luxury watch with classically styled features. This precisely constructed timepiece for men features a solid stainless steel case that’s 43mm wide (1.7 inches).

Other features include anti-reflective mineral crystal, date display at 3 o’clock, and water resistance to 200 meters. The highly polished stainless steel band has a fold over clasp with safety.

An automatic watch is a mechanical watch that is self-winding. the movement of your wrist and body causes the rotor–a weight attached to an automatic winding mechanism–to wind up the watch. This automatic watch has 21 jewels, which are ruby stones that the gears turn on to protect the metal parts from grinding together. An automatic watch needs no battery, but it will stop if now worn for over a day or if you have been physically inactive for an extended period of time. If this happens, wind the crown ten times clockwise to start the watch and give it some reserve power.
