    I've got a Moto Z play. Iirc it was like $400. I've had it for about 1.5 years and have been very happy with it.

    Don't most people just charge their phone overnight anyways? If I need a quick charge I'll plug it in to the turbo charger, otherwise I just charge it overnight wirelessly.

    Besides, that misses the point. If you'll pardon the excitement:

    We can send electricity between two things with no wires! Through the air! Wirelessly! We have the technology! We are living in the future!

    I haven't dealt much with that brand, I habe been dealing with Seiko and Citizen, and mostly divers. I beat everything up and get it dirty so divers work well for me. I wear my citizen sports watch daily, and it is a eco-drive so no battery to worry about for a while (hopefully)

    I've got a Garmin forerunner 735 I wear most of the time. Only thing I don't like is if I leave the band tight( for more accurate Heart rate if I'm not wearing my heart rate strap) is it dries out my skin and gets all irritated.

    Yeah I get that too with the 235. I tend to leave it 1 or 2 notches looser when I'm not working out. During workouts I'll tighten it up a bit for the more accurate heart rate. Have you tried getting different bands at all? I've thought of it but don't know if I care enough / patient enough to swap bands between workouts and normal wear.

    I thought wireless charging was stupid until I wore out the charging port on my last phone.

    I had always had LGs or Motorolas but bought a Samsung S7 Active last time around. I don't think I'd ever own a non-rugged phone again. It's great not having to have a case.

    I have a G-shock that I liked for a while. Stopped wearing it everyday when I got my apple watch.

    I never understand people who seem to always have dead phones. Do they not charge it at night? I can get two days before I need to worry about it.


    My toothbrush charges wirelessly, and it's probably 10 years old. Come to think of it, that thing must have a great battery to have lasted all this time!

    I'm on 2 ends of the spectrum: a '96 stang with <90k & now a '17 Taco(1 yr old next month) with >16k. At that rate it'll be no time until the truck has more

    I've been wearing a casio solar powered watch that looks like all the g-shocks; but, I used to wear a fitbit everyday. Now I'm waiting for my next fitness/smartwatch to finish being developed. http://www.sequentwatch.com/

    I'm not really interested in wireless charging (yet). The battery on this phone last quite a while, and charges very quickly.

    Toyota will tell you it's a normal characteristic....I'm going through this issue at the moment. They replaced the carrier assembly in the diff and no change on the noise; next time it went in they said it's coming from the transmission and it's normal...:frusty::frusty::frusty::frusty::frusty::frusty::frusty:

    I love my new truck but miss my Tacoma
    Luminox and G-shocks but both are very good. They are both very good military/active/everyday watches. Perfect for what you do
    I like G-Shocks too. I need to look into them a bit more to see if they have one that I really like. The are typically quite a bit cheaper than Luminox's as well
