After going through multiple Lenovo products, including Thinkpads, all of which have flaked out, I won't touch anything from them again. Emptor your caveats.AndyS wrote: ↑Thu Dec 03, 2020 12:53 pmI got one of these at Walmart on a sale a couple of weeks ago for $25.

This has been featured on a few websites' "best of Black Friday" lists. Integrates with Google Assistant, has sun-simulating slow brightening visual alarm feature, and works to play music too. Retail is $80.
Probably on the fringes of the types of deals we post in this thread, but considering the deal and the generally good reviews of the product, I thought it would be worth a mention here.

I'm disappointed in it. Don't know if mine is broken or if it's typical, but it's mic pickup of the wake word is awful vs all my other Google smart speakers. Even the Insignia clock is MUCH better than this and will answer two rooms away before this Lenovo will respond.
Think I'm taking it back to Walmart. I'm tempted to try another one, but I've already bought a Nest Hub for $50 on Black Friday to replace this one.
EDIT: Scratch that. I bought the smaller version here. The bigger one may be fine, and I still wonder if mine just has a bad mic (and I've adjusted wake sensitivity in the Google Home App).
As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

If the style appeals this is a steal. $159 for a Sellita SW200 watch.pdsf wrote: ↑Thu Dec 03, 2020 5:48 pm Diefendorff is closing up shop.

If the straps are even middling quality these are a great bargain. I really wish I liked the look of the watches more.pdsf wrote: ↑Thu Dec 03, 2020 5:48 pm Diefendorff is closing up shop.

I wish that watch were 38mm?
Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2020
I'm in for a watch. I'll give it a try- it's certainly unique. I imagine it could be resold without too great a loss should the style just not work.Boourns wrote: ↑Thu Dec 03, 2020 6:31 pmIf the straps are even middling quality these are a great bargain.

On one hand I think the watches are quite ugly. On the other, sw200 for $150, and the watch might look better in person. Hmmpdsf wrote: ↑Thu Dec 03, 2020 5:48 pm Diefendorff is closing up shop.

I think I'll get in on this too. Just not sure what color. Deals like this are rare, and even at times when I thought I was gonna get an ugly watch just for the super cheap movement (such as the technomarine valjoux diver) i ended up really liking the watch. Better to regret something you've done than something you havent...
Thanks for posting!
Edit - took all of 2 minutes to think it over and jumped in for a blue dial after skimming an article about the watch.
Edit #2 - caved even further. Got an extra leather strap, mesh strap, 2 natos, and the strap tool. Its a separate transaction so I'd have to pay the $8.88 shipping. I sent a message asking if it can all be shipped together to save on it, but even if that's not possible its a stupidly good deal, about $50 for 4 high quality straps plus a good quality tool.

Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2020
I've purchased some straps and the spring bar from James previously and they're very good quality. I wasn't sure about the shininess of the watches so never purchased one, but at $149 I got one in green. I also picked up some straps. Unfortunate for him, but some great deals for us.pdsf wrote: ↑Thu Dec 03, 2020 5:48 pm Diefendorff is closing up shop.

Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2020
~$14 for a mesh bracelet is kinda crazy too. Wish I had a watch with 22mm lugs or wish I liked their models better.

Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2020
Dang it, after a long break I've picked up a Seiko manta ray over holiday and against better judgement now order carbon fiber model along with a pair of straps and spring bar tools. I don't know that I find the case style or name "Diefendorff" appealing but guess worse could be done for the price.pdsf wrote: ↑Thu Dec 03, 2020 5:48 pm Diefendorff is closing up shop.

Ball Fireman below $500 is a great deal.https://www.jomashop.com/ball-fireman-a ... ci+Ophidia
Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2020
Thanks for the heads-up. I missed out the first time but I’m in for a silver Griffey this time around.
Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2020
Just my $0.02 USD as always.
