On the Road Again!

I finally got around to spending my birthday money.  I had been waiting for something I wanted rather than wasting the money and I decided on a new smart watch. Not wanting to be fleeced by Apple or Samsung, nor by Garmin, I liked the cut of Ben Sherman's jib. At £50 it seemed around what I wanted to pay out. Less £30 in birthday cash. It connected easily to my phone which suited me. It's a shame I no longer have a single Ben Sherman shirt that I used to wear every day to work before they got us branded polo shirts. I chose the Ben Sherman roudrel from a limited number of alternative faces. So far. So good.

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.
