Good product; some drawbacks but great for the price I paid.
A good fun game. My kids aged 8 to 11, boys and girls, have spent hours on it. There are drawbacks. It takes about 45 minutes after starting a town the first time until you can save; you can only save three "towns" at a time, so if more than three want to play, you have to share; the further we went on, the slower the game went - I think it had to load more stuff from disk; building things can be a little frustrating as sometimes it's hard to get things to slot in correctly; and there is little more challenge as you get further into the game so it can get a little samey. But one son with ADHD has spent a total of 10 hours on it, so it must be pretty good!
Mio Cyclo 315 HC with Western Europe maps and Heart Rate & Speed/Cadence sensors

Excellent product although minor drawbacks
This is a satnav and bike computer combined. You can set up a number of dashboards with loads of different information available at a glance and more measures than you could possibly ever need: everything from speed, distance, etc. to your current heart rate and the gradients coming up. The difficulty for me was in choosing from the wealth of data available. There's a great function where you tell it how far you want to go (or other parameters) and it will plot three routes for you and let you choose. Minor drawbacks include that a few times it's sent me down a road only to ask me to turn back on myself, and then gets confused and wants me to turn around again. But if you watch the map screen, it's not a problem. What did cause it big problems was when I missed a turning. I only realised when I noticed that my remaining distance was going up. At that point it didn't give me anything helpful to get back on track. I would advise that you keep it on the map dashboard if you're using this feature, although that only allows you to display two pieces of data, which is a bit disappointing. It is sometimes slow. I don't understand why it takes SOOOOOOO long to update the name of a favourite, for example, and when you're navigating, it can take a few seconds to switch between dashboards. It allows you to set parameters to avoid certain types of road, etc. which is generally helpful. Out of the box it was so fixated with taking me on cycle tracks that it took me a mile and a half out of my way on a one mile ride home! So I switched it to avoid cycle tracks, which seems to work. Sometimes, and I'd guess this is data rather than the satnav itself, it wants me to go the wrong way down one way streets or through pedestrianised areas. Which might make it ideal for cycle couriers in London. However, having set it up as I like, it navigated me home from 30 miles away using largely the kind of roads and route that I would have chosen myself, so I was pretty happy with that.
Pyle Sport PHLSCBT4WT Bluetooth Digital Weight & Personal Health Scale White

Seems good but Bluetooth connection didn't work
These are scales which also measure a number of other bodily statistics, such as fat percentage. All looks good. You can set up profiles with height, age and sex, but I still haven't figured out the optimal way to select the profile before weighing myself. The instructions appear to be for a slightly different model and aren't particularly great. The reason I bought these was that you can connect them to your phone via Bluetooth and so record your measurements and progress. Unfortunately the app seems to connect to the scales but the data doesn't get uploaded (see reviews for Samico Health app) so that function is useless to me. (Also not impressed that you can't just enter your birth date on the app but have to swipe hundreds of times to get to the right month!) As I paid extra for the Bluetooth functionality and that doesn't work, that affects my value and quality ratings and, of course, means that I can't recommend it if that is a function that you are particulary interested in. I have considered sending them back but just can't be bothered.
