I just signed up to run a marathon with my in-laws, and an Apple Watch sounded pretty good. I did need something to track my running distance and not carry a giant iPhone while I run.

In the end, I settled on an old Garmin 15 Forerunner for $85. Pretty popular in 2014, so it’s old, but it fit all my needs. I would never wear it in public (it looks like it’s from the 90’s), but I don’t need to look good running and I really don’t need my text messages being sent to my wrist.

So, a substantial purchase ($400) avoided in favor of a more reasonable birthday gift for $85.

Well I’ll definitely be involved! Perhaps *too much* as I’m sure I’ll get grief for as they get older – hah.

“this is not a piece that is bought because you need it. It was art. ” – hah! smooth!

If it were $200 I feel like it would have been yours in a heart beat – but $2,000?? that’s a spicy meatball! (said in an Italian voice)
