5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, 8 Mar 2013
Read this in one sitting and downloaded the rest of the series. Good plot line, believable characters and proceeds at full throttle all the way.

No Title Available

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice but check sizing, 9 Feb 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
Decent quality coat but shape a little odd, tight across chest but arms long with masses of room! If buying then definitely order a size bigger than you'd normally wear.

3.0 out of 5 stars Poor Wireless Connectivity, 22 Dec 2012
On first inspection, a very impressive little machine that is very light and well screwed together. The screen is pin-sharp and setting up really easy - even like Windows 8, which I am finding straightforward to use! My major gripe is the poor wireless connectivity - unless it is within about eight feet of the wireless router it just won't connect to the internet. I have checked all the network settings and made certain the latest network driver is installed, all to no avail. I might just have a rogue unit, but a netbook that consistently fails to connect wirelessly unless it's almost on top of the router doesn't seem like much of a netbook to me! I'll just use it as a dumb terminal and chalk it up to experience.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not impressed!, 22 Dec 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
Case arrived promptly and seemed well put together - but after a single use one of the zips came off! Can still use it with just the one zip but doesn't really give me a lot of confidence in the durability of this product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid like the plague!, 11 April 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
On the face of things, this watch looks like a really good product - it isn't! On the plus side, the movement - I suspect a cheap Asian Seagull product - keeps reasonable time, the watch is attractively packaged and looks good. On the minus side, it's clearly a cheap product masquerading as an expensive watch, the bracelet links are held together by screws and not pins - in quality watches this would be great, but not in this case as they are very cheap and impossible to extract even with precision screwdrivers built for the job to allow you to adjust the bracelet. I gave up trying to tease the cheap and nasty screws out and decidied to fit a padded leather strap to the watch instead as it seemed to keep decent time and was a nice looking piece. The lume dot on the bezel then just fell out leaving a rough and nasty edge, this coupled with the very poor lume on the hour markers made me decide to contact Amazon for a refund - still waitng to hear and am sure this will involve sending it back and then waiting until they receive it at Milton Keynes before the £100 is back in my card account!

This watch is pants and avoid it if at all possible and spend your £100 on something decent - lots out there at this price point.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 8 Feb 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
I purchased this watch thinking it would be a high quality item, but sadly this was not the case. I should have realised this when the first one arrived with the second hand rattling loose around the dial and had to be sent back to Amazon. I've yet to confirm exactly what make of automatic movement Formex are using in this watch, but clearly not a very good one as it ticks along like a quartz movement at times and bears all the hallmarks of a cheap Seagull movement from Asia. However, it keeps reasonable time, has decent lume on the hands, the silicone strap is good and the watch is attractive to look at. What is isn't is worth £250 and there are far better watches around at this price point to spend your hard earned money on - I'd go for one of these and not the Formex if I were you!

I am extremely impressed with the quality of this product and the service received from this Amazon seller. The product is excellent and will keep my new iPod Nano safe and secure.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hate it!, 17 Nov 2011
Having owned the iAudio7 and loved it I thought I'd give one of their later models a try - wish I hadn't bothered as it packed up after three months and refused to play music from its drive any longer. A firmgrade upgrade later it failed completely and went in the dustbin! While it worked the sound was great, but for it to have failed so quickly has left me frustrated and in no mood to purchase any more Cowon products.

1.0 out of 5 stars Junk!, 1 May 2011
I had high hopes when I purchased the 8GB version of this MP3 player as I already own the iRiver T60 player which is absolutely great. This model is absolutely pants in comparison! Very cheap feel to the player and the switch action on the front panel feels really flimsy. However, the worst thing is that the player has locked up every time I've used it, which means pressing the reset button and losing all the personalised settings. Don't waste your money on this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice - watch the sizing!, 8 Dec 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
Really nice slippers for the winter - but sizing is very poor as they come up really small, so best to order the size up.
