Trakcell (2024) Thin Wallet Tracker Card & Item Finder - Disappointing

Out of the box the Trakcell Thin Wallet Tracker Card, is sleek, and exciting. I was really looking forward to modernizing my luggage tracker system from a red ribbon tied around the handle, unfortunately, because the scan failed and the LED light never activated on the card during the scanning process, the tracker failed to activate. The design of the tracker is room card thin.

The notification signal, a "beep," works well. However, as the LED "circle" never activated the tracker card didn't operate either. I ran through the instructions several times just in case it was human error (mine), but the LED circle never activated. The iTrackEasy app is required. I wanted the Trakcell to work and was really looking forward to testing it out. I want to say, if you can get it to work, I'm sure it would be perfect for all lost items, Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work.

Makemate Wireless Headphones for TV - Awesome, Easy to Use, Fabulous

My first thought after opening the MakeMate Wireless Headphones for Television box was "that's a whole lot of wires for wireless." So, imagine my surprise when it was as easy as plugging the included USB port into my laptop, making sure the headphones were fully charged, and with the audio confirmation there is no guessing, then adjusting the output device and the headphones were working.

More than simply working, I walked around the house, I walked outside to the curb. I was very surprised by the ease of use and range which is listed as 165 feet. The sound is pure, no distortion and the headphones have volume control. The MakeMate Wireless Headphones are the perfect addition for any home. Able to effortlessly connect to the television, and the pamphlet size instructions have dedicated pages for each television brand. A fabulous gift for audiophiles. Perfect for men, women, teens, households, dorm rooms, enclosed spaces. You won't be disappointed.

Fitness Smart Watch with Alexa Built-in - Health Monitor, Exercise Motivator, Compatible with iPhone & Android

I'm not a device groupie. I'm not first in line for the newest evolution on the market. So, a Smart Watch for me seemed a bit excessive. However, when I received The Fitness Smart Watch, I realized it actually motivated me. In one day, I became obsessed with my steps. I pushed myself to reach 10,000 as that is somehow the magical health number, and when I reached that number, the watch released a long vibration and a chime, and the screen lit up with a trophy.

The Fitness Smart Watch is attractive, with an easy-to-read face and comes loaded with many functions, more than I will ever use. I have frequently checked my heart rate, blood oxygen, and stress levels. As an Amazon product it comes with Alexa, a workout option that has a series of workout types, walking indoor, walking outdoors, swimming, jogging, and the like and by pressing the side tab activates the workout which adds a timer, distance, and calorie count.

The functions also include hands-free calling, music, and a camera. It also has a swipe function to end the workout recorder. What really surprised me was the battery life, I received the watch and three days later the power level was at 77%. The smart watch has an extra-long battery life.

The veryfit app is required. I'm really impressed with the Fitness Smart Watch. It is the perfect gift! A health monitor and exercise motivator in an attractive, stylish, and sleek package, and is compatible with iPhone and Android. For men, women, teens, fitness enthusiasts, athletes, exercise beginners, intermediates, and experts.
