    Mouse Pad for Manu fans

    posted by MetroB on 03/15/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    It's a mouse pad nothing much to be wrong. It arrived undamaged. The logo detailing is good enough to satisfy hard core fans. Other Manu fans envy. The price paid is about 10 times less than what it would cost locally
    Cons:
    It does feel a bit plasticky. it's left to be seen how well it holds up but so far so good. Doesn't seem to stay in place as we...

    Smaller nicer lava watch

    posted by MetroB on 03/15/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    Got this to replace another Lava watch that died. It is smaller which actually makes it look better and this is really black as opposed to the black chrome versions. Blue lighting is nice all my others are red. Still has good weight despite smaller dimensio...
    Cons:
    Did notice that the LEDs had slightly different intensities but that is minor. As usual hard to read in direct sunlight. Didn'...

    Blingy bling

    posted by MetroB on 03/15/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    Already own black and silver lava watches and thought that the gold would look cheesy but i was wrong. Very pretty and attention grabbing. Nice weight and sturdy construction just remember that the circuit board is exposed thru LEDs so stay away from water....
    Cons:
    The gold plating gets scratched easily to reveal base metal so you have to be careful with say mouse use. Hard to see in day li...

    Quality item

    posted by MetroB on 03/08/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    Replaced steel V-Brakes on my old cheap bike...lighter and stiffer and less rusty (and they shouldn't rust since they are aluminium) brakes seem to react faster with less caliper travel and as a bonus they don't squeak which is a problem I haven't been able...
    Cons:
    No downsides to this purchase. The price was good and better than the local steel equivalents.

    Jewellery for the football fan

    posted by MetroB on 03/05/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    Looks good even under close scrutiny. The details of the etched logo are very good. Tasteful as there is no colour for everyday wear while still representing your team
    Cons:
    Looks a bit tarnished so the claim of stainless steel a bit dubious. It arrived broken. The design of the bracelet is such that...

    Pretty fashion accessory

    posted by MetroB on 03/05/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    Jewel like. I expected it to have a brassy smell but it doesn't. Watch has been accurate. The lady who i gave it too really likes it and as been wearing it everyday and it's been holding up well. Construction is solid and as it's all metal it shoud hold up ...
    Cons:
    Not an everyday proposition and can be difficult to put on and take off because of the design. The shape of the bracelet is not...

    Great mechanical watch

    posted by MetroB on 03/05/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    Good build quality, easy to set, easy to read. The hands look very classy and the contrasting blue contributes to the ease in reading. Has about 24 hours reserve if not worn. It has been dead accurate and the sweep of the second hand is very smooth and by c...
    Cons:
    Watch band is very plasticky and a bit hard to fasten and remove. that being said the stitching runs all the way up the strap o...

    Good budget tablet

    posted by MetroB on 12/12/2012 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    Arrived in good order. Delivery time was fairly fast given time of year. Smooth responsive performance that blew away Samsung Galaxy tab in benchmarks. Was able to get and install official Jelly Bean firmware from the Onda website. Extremely loud and distor...
    Cons:
    The display is not as nice as other tablets in the same price range and it look washed out when brightness is increased. Poor v...

    Simple item that does what it's supposed to do

    posted by MetroB on 11/28/2012 Certified Owner

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    Mine is black which hides the oil marks from the chain well. Makes the bike really quiet on the chain as it dampens the contact with the chain stay. Fabric feels of good quality and the stictch work is of good consistent quality. Easy to fit. Definitely wo...
    Cons:
    It's a bit shorter than i'd like but at the cost that's not really a complaint as it has to fit all size frames

    Dont buy this if you dont like attention

    posted by MetroB on 11/20/2012 Certified Owner

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    Very unusual and attention grabbing watch. I just love watching it tick so I won't be selling this one. Good build quality with no flaws that I can see. It's lighter than i expected which should make it all day comfortable. Part of a larger order it came s...
    Cons:
    It looks big in the review so I was a bit disappointed at the size. I guess the reviewer has tiny hands. That said it stands f...
