The Klipsch R6 In-Ear Bluetooth Earphones are Klipsch's first-ever Bluetooth earphones, launched in Singapore on 15th January 2016 at S$299. At launch only matte black was available, with a one-year warranty from official distributor Tat Chuan Acoustic.
The Xiaomi USB Fan sells for S$6.99 in white or blue. During the Lunar New Year 2016 sale, it dropped a dollar to S$5.99, so I bought two, paying about S$16 with shipping. A small but handy desk fan.
I plan to mount my Nest Cam outside my new house, which needs three accessories. Unfortunately, none ship to Singapore directly from Amazon, so a freight forwarder is required. Dropcessories makes solid Nest Cam outdoor accessories.
I bought the Nest Cam from Amazon for US$183.90, which qualified for free AmazonGlobal Saver shipping. It wasn't the lowest price, dropping to US$168.99 on Black Friday 2015, which I missed. I also grabbed a few accessories.
Singtel has partnered with Netflix to offer customers promotional access. Re-contracting or signing up for a Singtel mobile plan or Fibre Entertainment Bundle+ between 22nd January and 22nd July 2016 earns up to nine months of free Netflix.

I was seeded the tado Smart AC Control for review, which I'm splitting into two posts: this unboxing and setup, and a follow-up on the experience. In Singapore, tado Smart AC Control is distributed by Aerahaus Smart.
Disclosure: I was gifted an ExpressVPN subscription for this guest post by Guy Miller. After Netflix launched in 130 more countries in January 2016, becoming a near-global service, ExpressVPN helps users unblock the larger US Netflix library.
Singtel Easy Mobile is a postpaid plan that lets you customise your tariff each month to fit your budget. It's my second-favourite after SIM Only, and I'm deciding between the two as my Combo 2 plan expires mid-year.
At CES 2016, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings announced the service's launch in almost every country except China. A subscriber since April 2015 via VPN, I'd long awaited this, since VPN access was slower, more cumbersome, and required blocking Google DNS.
After almost two weeks using the Moto 360 (Second Generation) instead of my Apple Watch, I miss the Apple Watch only a little, mainly its ability to act on notifications. On iOS, Android Wear's notification handling is more limited.
