Citizen Skyhawk Eco Drive JR306059F Men Watch

Pros: High capacity, lightweight; PC and Mac compatible; USB (1.1 & 2.0) & Firewire ports.

Cons: N/A

The Bottom Line: The Seagate 750GB External USB/Firewire HHD is a high capacity, flexible storage medium that warrant serious consideration if you need to backup a large quantity files.

Review: Data, it is the life s blood of most business organizations, and my small (growing) computer consulting business that I run from my home is no different. Over the years I have gone through several backup solutions from external to internal tapes,...

Pros: cheap, good print quality, on-disc printing capability, decent software

Cons: disc-printing tray ceased to feed properly after only a few prints

The Bottom Line: Problems with the disc-tray feeder have spoiled my experience with this printer as that is the main reason I bought it.

Review: I bought this printer for the CD/DVD printing and I have had decent results but some complaints as well. Print quality is good, at least as good as on paper. In fact, the rigid surface of printable CDs and DVDs prevents the buckling you sometimes...

Pros: Incredible quality, six individual ink cartridges, cd label printing, inexpensive

Cons: none found so far

The Bottom Line: A photo quality printer of this caliber in this price range is just amazing. Add the fact it does CD printing and you have a must have printer.

Review: I purchased the Epson R-200 as a replacement for the Canon S-820. It has many similar features, plus an additional one - the ability to print directly onto DVDs and CDs.

setup
Like most printers today, setup was a non-issue...

Pros: 6 individual ink cartridges, great for CD printing

Cons: slow for large documents compared to laser, tricky to figure out cd printing

The Bottom Line: If you're in the market for a printer and want one that can print CDs, this printer is for you!

Review: In olden times, to print CDs or DVDs you had to use those annoying labels that never went on quite straight. They took up a ton of ink and usually the quality was so-so on an ink jet. Then came the thermal printer. Great quality but huge price,...

Pros: price, inks, quality, speed, versatility, cd printing, low maintenance, separate ink cartridges

Cons: honestly I can think of none

The Bottom Line: I can't think of any reason not to recommend this printer unless you simply needed to print larger than8.5x11 OR 8.3 x 23.4 (panoramic) or needed to use archival inks.

Review: I finally had to cave in and buy a new printer last spring since the one that I had at the time I had purchased back in 1998 (yes 1998) and was a bit out of date. I shopped around and was interested in going with a laser printer if possible since in...

Pros: When it does its job, it gets it done.

Cons: Takes constant nursing to do its job.

The Bottom Line: It takes constant nursing just to get it to print a CD.

Review: The following outlines my experience with an R200 that I purchased factory refurbished -- it may not reflect the experience of someone buying one brand new (but frankly I wouldn't count on it.)

The R200 is a great solution for people...

Pros: More intuitive, full features, analog and digital, multi-time zone!

Cons: steel is heavy, band doesn't bend enough, can't see in dark

The Bottom Line: Great watch for the money. Would recommend to anyone in requiring more than two time zones.

Review: Before purchasing this watch (steel version), I purchased a previous generation digital & analog, multi-zone Skyhawk (titanium version). Though you probably already know, just in case, the Eco-Drive series of watches gets its name from being...

Pros: Easy setup, good looking prints, will print on inkjet-printable CD's.

Cons: Sucks down ink like an alcoholic on a bender.

The Bottom Line: Good for casual users only. Not suitable for any kind of professional use due to ink costs and downtime.

Review: I got this printer because it does one thing that other printers don't - print directly onto an inkjet printable CD. This it does well. The prints also look good, with good color and definition, after you spend some time tweaking the color controls...

Pros: Best value photo printer on the market

Cons: none really

The Bottom Line: If you have $300 to spend on a photo printer, don't buy anything else!

Review: The Epson R200 is one those hard to find things called a bargain - forget buying it to print your term papers or your knitting patterns and recipes off the internet, it is a photo printer... there got that out of the way, feel much better.

...

Pros: Photos have great contrast. Small footprint. Seems cheap.

Cons: Ink, ink, ink. I became afraid to print anything because of ink costs.

The Bottom Line: I print a lot, and couldn't afford ink for this thirsty machine. Exchanged for a Canon which also prints great photos, with cheaper ink cartridges that last several times longer.

Review: I could have loved this Epson printer if not for the ink costs. Pictures were stunning on glossy or matte paper. Contrast was awesome, especially for dark colors. I liked the results better than prints I got from Adorama, a reputable photo store...
