Although it has a large face and that takes some getting used to, it’s great! You really want the larger screen so that during the run you can easily see the data. My fear in buying it was that I would become too “gadget-y” and it may serve more as a distraction during my runs. Instead I’m able to completely focus on my run without having to think about when my next interval is, or how far I’ve gone, or how fast I’m going. I love having my training runs tracked and recorded too. The program on the computer that allows you to synch and view your runs could be updated, but it serves well the purposes advertised. I was able to use the out and back feature while hiking in Tennessee. I got a little turned around and didn’t know which way would take me back to my car so I set the watch to guide me back to the start; the watch displayed the trail I’d walked and where I was in relation to the start. It guided me right back to my car. Amazing! That could really be a lifesaver for hikers. Highly recommended!!

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

The Practical Dog Listener

No matter where you put the adjuster it doesn’t even come close to a frequency that is inaudible to humans.

I threw it in the trash.

This is one of those rare products that promises the world and delivers. I use it all the time. The price is a little steep but if you have the money it is well worth it.

When this book was referred to me by a number of friends I thought that I should seriously read it. After reading it, I am deeply thankful I did – it completely didn’t clear up anything. As eloquent as this book is and as much wonderful conversation Mr. Walsch has with God, life’s mysteries are still mysterious.

In confronting religion, I applaud the book’s view – it is one that I subscribed to, which is to say religion shouldn’t hold back your relationship with our heavenly Father (these are my thoughts and not the book’s).

Get your brain and think about this one. It will help mature your relationship with God and focus your energies in the right direction!
