On the Road Again!

I bought this phone, Motorola "Moto G50" as a retirement and birthday present to me.  I am not in the market for a £1000+ Apple or Samsung cell/mobile phone.  I haven't seen the need to "Keep up with the Jonesy's" for quite a few years. What made the decision was that my Honor 9 Lite was beginning to get a little buggy and slowing down quite badly. Whether this was the last upgrade of Huawei's version of Android I have no idea. Why the Moto G50?  I wanted a decent "budget" smartphone and after looking at a lot of reviews and then at the G50 in the Tesco Mobile shop I plumped for it.   Of course, I was beaten to the punch by Claire. She has a very old but premium priced OnePlus 5T. It has plenty of RAM available and the onboard storage isn't too stressed unlike my 32gb Honor. But is has become buggy and prone to simply locking up.  So after we sorted my 84yo Aunt Yvonne with her first ever smartphone on Saturday, Claire was on Google to look...

Want a smart watch but don't want to pay hundreds of pounds for something that will be attractive to street robbers? Then buy a cheap Chinese one from eBay or Amazon. I just have.  Copying Claire! She bought one earlier in the week. Under £25 and it does everything that we want. It tells the time and measures steps and activity. And it looks good. It was a bit of a pig to set up on her OnePlus 5T, but then again everything is.  After some googling we got it working. I ordered one too. It arrived yesterday whilst we were out walking the dog. Setting up on my Honor 9 Lite was child's play.   Blurry pic!! It syncs easily enough and looks quite good. I like hands on my watches and so changed the face from the many free options available. The accompanying app need Android v5 or iOS 9 or above to work. It's easy to download from App Store or Play Store. Time will tell how good it is.
