A real improvement over the versa
I upgraded from the versa and must say there are really only a couple improvements but they are pretty big improvements. First and foremost is the battery life, it was already good w it’s the versa but wow I am getting almost a week with the versa 2. Six days easy with medium screen brightness and always connected. I don’t use always on because I want it to turn on when I lift the watch, but I believe you would get more than the versa with it turned on. Second improvement is also why the battery life is so good and that is the AMOLED screen. This screen is as good as the Apple Watch (probably the only thing as good as the Apple Watch). There is more improvements but those are the two that I think make it worth upgrading
From the versa. Now for the big minus, the one thing I hate about the versa and although they improved with the versa 2 it still sucks. It is almost enough to not want the watch, almost. That is connectivity, it takes repeated try’s to get the watch to sync to the app. It seems to be better with the versa 2 but I have never had it sync on the first try. Very frustrating but not a deal breaker for me, but Fitbit needs to fix this, look on their forums and this is the number one problem. I know people who gave up on the watch because of that. Still this is the only watch I will wear, no way I will use anything I have to charge every day or even every other day. That that alone excludes most the watches out there. Not sure what google buying them out will mean to the brand but for now it’s my favorite.

Why pay retail when you can get new for much less
I would never buy an ipod anywhere other then ebay. you can get a 30 gig for 200 or less and a 80 gig for 300 or less, usally much less. I paid 270.00 for my 80gig ipod, there is nowhere that comes close to that proce not even refurbished from apple. the ipod looked like brand new, it had the protective film over the front. worked like new. what a deal, not everything on ebay is such a good buy but ipods are always a good deal. if you are patient it can be a great deal.
Vortex Venom 6 MOA Red Dot Sight Multi-Coated Black VMD-3106

I won’t have a handgun without a red dot ever again
I won’t have a handgun without a red dot ever again, and the vortex venom has become my favorite red dot. I have tried a rmr, and Deltapoint Pro, and of course the venom. I disliked the rmr from the beginning, the small dark green tinted glass was a deal breaker. I really liked the dp Pro, had a large, clear glass, the same with the venom. So it came down to price, if they were the same price I would have gone with the dp Pro but the venom was over $100.00 less so that is what I bought. Very happy, not perfect but nothing ever is. Will wait to see how long the battery lasts having it always on, two weeks so far at mid brightness. Hope it lasts for a few months. Battery’s are inexpensive so that’s a plus
