"Top Ten" watch for every occasion

I purchased this watch after reading a "Top Ten" list of men's watches. All but one of the watches sold for more than $1,000 or more. In some cases, much more. I liked the watch, but was sure the price quoted in the list was a misprint. Nope. The watch was on my wrist shortly there after. The leather band and titanium case make for a nautical style watch. The rotating bezel, titanium case and available titanium band makes for a seaworthy dive watch capable of withstanding a depth of 200 meters. Having this handsome watch, especially with both the leather and titanium bands, is much like having a watch for every occasion. From sport to casual to your best suit, this is a watch that will be noticed.

After shopping around and buying a Tissot T-Sport that was unfortunately returned since it was losing time, I ordered the Citizen's BL5250 as a replacement. My order was received in two days just as promised.

The watch is stunning, not too large as to be obnoxious, but big enough to easily read and get noticed. Out of the box the watch was running and date was correct. All I had to do was set the time (really just the hour since the minute count was correct). I did have to use the mini-disk that came with the watch to get the hang of setting the time, but was done in under 10 minutes. Many poster mention that this watch is hard to set. Use the CD, it makes setting the watch a breeze.

The band is supple brown leather and very comfortable right out of the box, I think it will only get more comfortable as it wears in a bit, it compliments the watch perfectly.

I want to start by saying that I did not buy this watch from Amazon, however if I would have, I would have saved money. I have bought from Amazon several times and the service is amazing. Back to the watch. I bought this watch about 4 years ago when it first came out and couldn't be happier with my purchase. They say that Rolex is the standard for precision time keeping with a +/- 1 sec a day spec. Well I set my Citizen 4 years ago to GMT time down to the second and it hasn't even lost or gain 1 second in 4 years. It's still precisely as I set it. That, in my opinion, is precision time keeping. It has performed flawlessly. I still get compliments on weekly basis without fail. The only negative I would say is that when the crown is in the "zero" position, it will change functions like switch to chronograph, alarm, etc if it is accidentally turned. This happens to me primarily because I have big wrists which can turn the crown. I would have preferred for the this function to have been at position "one" or "two" so that I don't accidentally change the function. The reason that this is an issue is because the "hands" will start to make revolutions to go to the next function and can take a little while to return back to regular time. Very, very minor issue and is probably more me than the watch. The perpetual calendar is brilliant. I am spoiled rotten with the convenience and function of this watch, and I don't think I could ever go back to a watch that I have to change the battery or constantly change the day of the month. I would give this watch 10 stars if that was available. This watch is so accurate that I set everything else to it. Hopefully this review helps. This watch does not disappoint! I would not have reservations about buying it again, but this time I would buy it from Amazon.

The watch is very nice. I love the appearance and especially the perpetual calendar. No setting the date back and forth. Set and forget. The instructions are in micro text you will need a microscope to read them. They also sent the instructions on a CD so that helps a bunch.. It is light but thick, it is sized for a large wrist. The only fault I found was this watch has an alarm that can only be heard when you have the watch held to your ear. I have emailed Citizen support but have not received their reply as I write this review. ( I won't use the alarm often so this is not a huge disappointment for me but I have read about others having the same issue)
I am very pleased overall and it is a good value

This was purchased as a gift for my husband and he loves it! The numbers and dials are more easily visible than other watches we had considered. I was a little afraid of the colors, but when you see it in reality, the colors are great. The perpetual calendar and eco-drive system were the primary selling points for us. We have not had any of the problems listed in other reviews, such as function or comfort,or any difficulty in setting the watch. Pictures from the website were very helpful and it was exactly as it appeared online. He was surprised and remains very happy,which makes me very happy with this purchase.

I bought this watch a couple of months ago and have been using it continuously ever since as my main watch. The eco-drive technology appears to work very well. For example, if the watch is not exposed to light for a few seconds, the second hand stops moving to conserve energy, although the hour and minute hand continue to operate. The alarm function is very useful (though, as expected, not very loud) and of course, one never needs to worry about the beeping wearing the battery out.

One annoying feature of the watch is that in order to access the various functions and settings, you often have to wait for the hands to automatically move to the right position. For example, if you want to set the time for the alarm and move the knob to the ALM position, the watch hands will move through the necessary number of hour cycles in order to show the last alarm time that was set. So if the current time is 1600 and if you last set an alarm for 0600, the minute hand will complete 10 revolutions (reverse order) in order to come to 0600. After this, you set your new time - say 0700, and set the dial back to TME (time) mode. The minute hand will now move through 9 revolutions to come back to 1600. This sort of thing happens EVERY time you want to alter any of the time-related states, and in a watch, that is pretty much all you ever do! As far as I can tell - there is no way to make the hands go faster (i.e. by turning the knob yourself). Of course, I don't really use the extra features that much so it is a niggle that I am happy to put up with.
 

This is a very light-weight and attractive watch that anyone would be proud to own. The numerous functions (time, alarm, chrono, local time) are easy to understand with the well-written manual. The dial is listed as a dark blue, but under most light it's practically black. In very bright light or direct sunlight, the dial looks like the color on the Amazon listing. The band appears to be of extremely high quality leather and the watch appears to come with a 5-year warranty.     KitchenAid KSC700SS 7-Quart Slow Cooker, Stainless Steel New Threadsrus 200 Spools of Polyester sewing quilting thread - Assorted Colors Viking Professional Series VMOS201SS 2.0 cu. ft.

TRY SOMETHING ELSE

 received the item as a gift, and I didn't already have a trimmer, so I decided to open the package and use it despite the myriad negative reviews. I have an average beard - not too thick, not too thin, but full face coverage. I keep it trimmed under 1 inch almost all the time, and usually much shorter.

Packaging:
The package is a blister pack which encloses the trimmer, attachments, carrying case, the base stand/holder, and a charging adapter. The charging adapter can be attached to the base stand, although it's a pretty cheesy design. The packaging is attractive and protective in PET recyclable plastic, and all the necessary operating parts are included.

Design:
The base stand/holder is thin plastic, cheaply made, and barely functional. The attachments are likewise cheap, poorly made plastic with barely functional adjusting mechanism. The trimmer unit has a fixed internal battery which is charged by plugging in a 1.6 volt, 80 mA power supply with positive tip - a small yellow one that is the same size often used to charge mobile phones and bluetooth devices. Previous reviewers are correct in saying that the trimmer cannot be powered directly from a wall outlet. The user can leave it plugged in during operation, but it will not draw wall power in any way (the LED indicator shuts off) when the trimmer switch is on. The trimmer unit seems thus far to be solidly built.

Function:
I gave the item 2 stars because it works for trimming facial hair, but not very well. It cuts slowly and awkwardly even through hair on accessible areas of the face and neck. Attachments are adjustable for various hair lengths, but the user soon discovers that the attachment and adjustment mechanisms are inexact and flimsy.

As other reviews have pointed out, this is not professional-grade equipment by any stretch and not something likely to last you a lifetime. However, it is a very good little trimmer, especially given the relatively low cost. It comes with a good assortment of attachments, and it's been doing a great job of keeping my beard trimmed. I do not use it to trim other body hair, and would not suggest it as a tool for maintaining large areas or large amounts of hair. I like the stand that it comes with since it neatly contains the trimmer and attachments in one handy unit.

If asked, "Would you buy this product again if you had it to do all over?" My answer would be "In a heartbeat!"

To begin with I read the instructions. I charged the battery for 10 hours before using and it has run flawlessly for a month without a recharge. You can't just leave this plugged in all the time. Basically, run the battery down and recharge for 10 hours.

The trimmer is light and feels good in my hand. The attachments snap in and out easily and they are washable. The blades are sharp and do not require oiling.

For years I used Wahl trimmers. In fact, I bought one again but when I got it home it didn't work right so I decided to give this one a try. Frankly, there is no comparison. This Norelco is really that much better than any of the Wahl's I've owned over the years.
 

My husband has been using beard trimmers to cut his head hair for many years and has gone though a few of them. The best one was an old Norelco which you could use off of AC power or on battery power. Unfortunately, someone stole it from him and I hope they enjoyed it because he would not only trim his head hair with said product. Next was this one which lasted quite a few years but just recently stopped holding a charge. Since you can not operate product plugged in it was rendered useless and this new purchase for the exact model is replacing it. He likes the fade ranges and ease of use selecting a trim height. Sometimes your finger could accidently release the trimmer head from the body which is inconvenient. From a quality perspective it doesnt last too long, he is just replacing it because it is familiar to him and he is used to it but do not expect to get 10 years out of this because once the battery goes it is useless. But for 14 bucks the amount of money you save not getting haircuts or getting waxed makes it worth it.

At this point with so many reviews of this trimmer there is not really much I can add that will be too helpful I'm afraid. Suffice it to say that this is a very well priced shaver/trimmer that has all the attachments one could want for everything from trimming hair, to that of your nose and ears as well. It's small, easy to hold and handle, and shaped in such a way that makes even doing ones back of the neck easy. It charges up quickly and lasts long enough to do several trimming jobs before you need to plug it in again. About the only couple of things I can say I don't like about this trimmer is there is no stand that comes with it for storing it upright in between charges. (but they do give you a little nylon bag to store all the attachments in). That wouldn't be so bad, save for the fact that the trimmers bottom is very small and it tips over easily when you just set it down upright. It would have been nice if they either offered a little stand to store it in, or made the base of the unit a little bigger for stability. The other is a minor irritant, but one that I am sure many will well identify with. The instruction booklet is not a booklet at all but one of those big thin fold out papers like the the old road maps. Its in 40 languages like everything is these days and its very difficult to read it when all spread    Stuhrling Original Mens 408G.33116 Aquadiver Regatta Marine Swiss Quartz Date Blue Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch Casio Mens GA110SN-3A G-Shock Magnetic Resistance Multi-Function Digital Sport Watch Michael Kors Womens Cameron MK5603 Silver Two-tone Stainless-Steel Analog Quartz Watch with Silver Dial Michael Kors Quartz Silver Round Dial Silver Band -

fantastic dinnerware

I bought this set for my everyday dishes a year ago and I still enjoy them. I love the plates because they are all different patterns with different flowers and butterflies. I especially like the size and shape of the rice bowls. They have one little bee on the inside of the bowl. The are great for everything from cereal to ice cream. The pasta bowls are terrific, too! I couldn't be happier with my set.
I am so glad that I ordered this dinnerware set. They are as pretty as I expected. I love the butterflies and flowers and the overall design. Each piece is unique. They are great for everyday use or for company and look beautiful on the table. I enjoy using the coffee mugs every morning. They are a nice change from my other everyday dishes, which my husband and I still use, so I enjoy mixing them or alternating. They seem to be very durable and dishwasher safe. I look forward to using them for many years to come. I also ordered the pasta/salad serving bowl set. These two sets go perfectly together. This set of dinnerware is a great buy.


These plates are really lovely. They are light yet sturdy, and can be used safely in microwave and dishwasher. What I love about them is that the design on each one is different, yet they all match. They are original and cheerful, but not tacky, and the colors are subdued enough that they don't clash with presenting food. I look forward to collecting the other pieces. Price wise: I've seen this set in Bath Body & Beyond for $150 and on the Lenox website for a lot more. I've also seen some odd pieces in Marshalls, at $10 a pop, you can do the math. The label on the box had $312 on it as the original price. So the Amazon deal is really good. Also, packing and shipping was really good, not a scratch on them.

I have seen a few pieces in a store, and before that I have never seen any pieces of hte Butterfly Meadows Collection. It is really pretty, but the cups are very thin. I think that this is more a delicate dish, but rather for adult use then just child/family use. I would not buy this for dinner or anything harsh to eat, maybe cake and coffee, maybe soup. I have not bought it yet and still not sure if I will. It is just pretty, but so delicate, I wonder, if it would be worth my money, simply for my own reason, I am not much of a gentle person, so mostly I settle for a tough three doolar mug to last mw at least two years...

I'm pretty satisfied with this one.

there's several spots on the plate.
quality is not that good
but you get what you paid for. :)

The Lenox Butterfly Meadow 18 Piece dinnerware set is prettier than in the picture. They are very sturdy and very good sizes. They were delivered in a very safe box. They microwave and wash well. I would highly recommend these to anyone who wants a beautiful but useful dinner service.

This is a treat from Lenox. Most other patterns are far more expensive so I am not surprised that so many people own this pattern. It is not too grandma like the Royal Albert Old Country Roses but individually the pieces are better than clumped together as pictured. The colors are milder and less intense than the picture.

The best thing about this set is how nice they feel in the hand - much nicer than the crockery for similar prices and that is where Lenox beats out everyone else in this price category.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone on a budget but since I can afford it, I would personally just buy the Lenox Eternal pattern. However, I would never have considered the Lenox brand if not for these dishes. I don't know if these are loss leader for the company but every piece including the mugs looks nicer in reality and each piece is thoughtfully designed. All three sizes of plates can be placed without needing to be adjusted because like great pattern designes of yore, the designs intentionally allow for it. That's why the butterflies and sprigs are placed the way they are.

If you don't like the stock photo. Search on Amazon for each individual piece and you will see that the pattern is better than this group photo.

It was a pleasure to recieve my dinnerware set. As soon as I opened the box I knew we would be having our dinner on it that same day. Every one loves the set. I was familair with Butterfly Meadow having previously bought a similar set of bowls, so I pretty much knew what I would be recieving, needless to say mealtimes in my house is a lot of fun with every one choosing which pattern they want to use. Thanks for such prompt delivery, looking forward to adding to my collection.

I love the design, my kids love the flowers and insects.
Very nice quality. Oven microwave safe.
Perfect.

But my son tipped the mug and spilled his juice first time we used it. And then I did the same next day.
And afterwards many incidents of almost tipping over.
The mugs have very small bottom, so they are designed to tip easily.

Also, my son dripped his grape juice (the scallop design makes it easy to drool). And I did the same too. ha ha ha.
I guess we need to get used to using these mugs.

Other than that, I love love love, I started collecting other butterfly's now.
