Wife wants an Apple Watch; I'm getting her a Fitbit. How much trouble will I be in?

Society has lost touch with what’s important.

A fookin watch?

Should be ashamed.

I bet the parents of the 8-year-old Congolese boy that retired NBA star Dikembe Mutombo helped travel to the United States to have a tumor removed from his face died on Friday
are figuring out what watch to give as a gift.

Okay that’s a heartwarming thought and all but let’s be realistic. Regular people give gifts like watches every day. It’s perfectly okay. It doesn’t mean they don’t also support charitable causes. Go preach on Facebook about your feelings if you can’t atay on this very specific and easy to understand topic.

Ugh. All I wanted was the $240 apple watch from Costco. But nope, DH couldn't manage to order it during that time, so he spent $450 on my apple watch. I'm debating whether I should return it or keep it. What a waste of money. Next year I'm just buying my own gifts before he can get me a similar gift for twice as much money.

Whoa whoa whoa! You asked for something, you got it. Now, if you want something done your way, go do it yourself without bitching.

I'm pretty sure the PP was being sarcastic.

the watch is also like five times more expensive...

If your have a good wife you are covered, otherwise think about whether this is the woman you want to spend the rest of your life with.

I wear my Apple Watch way more than I would wear diamond studs. If she expresses an interest in something and you can afford it, there’s the gift. Not some random suggestion that has nothing to do with what the recipient would even want. What planet do you live on? This was such a dumb suggestion. Nothing to do with anything.

well my husband bought me a fitbit two years ago and I still want an apple watch. so he will need to pay twice. Just buy the Apple watch.
