khall1971 Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) I think I'm all good on my electronics and household appliances this year, so my main BF hope will be to score a FitBit Ionic. It's a high-quality wellness tracker & smartwatch combo that retails for $299. Are you looking for a smartwatch or fitness tracker too? Which one(s)? Have you heard any scuttlebutt about potential deals? Do you think there will even BE any deals on any of these devices this year? Share your wristware (or clip-on-ware ) hopes here!

tyreejames Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 I’m hoping DH replaces my series one Apple Watch with the series 3 cellular version. I’m not expecting a deal on it; maybe a gift card with purchase from Best Buy or Target. 1
Kanyon71 Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 I am thinking about getting the Apple Watch 3 to replace my wife's 1 this year. With the new things it's doing with heat rate tracking and all that I thought about one for myself also. I'm more iffy on it for me though as I don't wear watches or jewelry and stuff so not sure how I would feel about it. 1
angiekd27 Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 I would like to get the FitBit Alta HR this year at Kohls. Last year the Alta was $99 with $15 Kohl’s cash for every $50 spent. Hoping to get that and a pair of socks (or something) with $30 in Kohl’s cash.....hoping.... 1

I have a Kohl's card, too, so maybe I'll luck out and get bonus points as well! I'll have to remember to keep checking Kohl's when I'm watching for FitBit deals. Thanks!
mommy2twingles Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 My son runs Cross Country for high school and is asking for a Garmin one so I will be watching for that this year.
glm777 Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 My daughter has mentioned that she would like an apple watch for Christmas. Do these ever go on sale on Black Friday? I really don't even know where to get one or what the regular cost is. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I got one for my wife on BF. I don't remember the exact details but I got it from Target and got a nice gift card out of the deal which we used on other presents. 1
Elmck Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 I have the Fitbit charge and it is sufficient for me Iwould like to get my mom something simple though.
bribri25 Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 If I were to dream, Garmin Fenix 5. Doubtful it'll happen, though. What's a wishlist for if you can't wish for the things on it?

You should talk to your daughter about what it is about the watch she wants - does she want the cellular version? (where you would need to "add a line" to your current plan.) Does she run/swim and want the fitness tracking options? What size does she want? Which band? Start on the apple website and look at all the various options, and ask her what it is she wants to achieve with the watch.

The cellular version does not require you to add a line; it is paired with your current line. While you don’t need your iPhone if you have the cellular version of the watch, they are meant to be used in conjunction with the iPhone.

While you don’t need your iPhone if you have the cellular version of the watch, they are meant to be used in conjunction with the iPhone. I think to clarify further: it's an add on device fee, not another line. Most carriers it's an extra $10/month (check on activation fees.) 1
tinkrbel Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 I just saw a commercial for the fitbit ionic, seemed interesting BUT all my fit it devices have lasted a year or just over before dying/falling apart. I know $100 isn't HUGE $, I just don't feel like I should need to replace it so often. Feels like everything is being built with throw away mentality maybe because people are upgrading as soon as newest version available 2
Jeanne515 Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Is today's Best Buy sale on Apple watches Series 2 for $229 the best you think we will see this year?
freesia39 Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Is today's Best Buy sale on Apple watches Series 2 for $229 the best you think we will see this year? It might drop more (they're no longer making the Series 2) so if you need it I would grab it. I'm still debating.
