I was researching fitness trackers because I wanted to upgrade my BodyBugg. Through my search I found out that BodyFit Media was bought out by Jawbone and they were making new fitness trackers. I know I paid a pretty penny for my BodyBugg, but I was surprised to see that the Jabra bands were pretty costly.
When the Apple Watch was released I really didn’t have any desire to buy it. I like Apple products but I thought this was gimmick to get my money. One day I was speaking to my co-worker who wears the Apple Watch and found out it’s a fitness tracker too. Hmmm? I quickly went back to my office and jumped online to Google more about the watch. And then I went to the Apple Store after work to physically see it and ask questions. Ha! You would have thought I was buying a car because I was asking so many questions.
For the most part, I am not an impulse buyer. If I want something, I like to wait before I buy it. And if I’m still thinking about it days later then that gives me the Ok to buy it. Which is exactly what happened with the Apple Watch. I could not get it out of my head. So last weekend I decided to spend my hard earned money on it.
I went into the Apple Store with every intention on buying the watch and an extra Milanese Loop watch band because I wasn’t a fan of the plastic watchband that came with the watch. Do you know that mug was $150? Child please! The watch combined with the new band and Apple Care (Shout out to Christen for posting about why it’s essential) was going to be a grip. I just didn’t feel comfortable spending that much money so I bought the watch with Apple Care but left the additional watchband in the store.
Later that evening I began to look up 3rd party vendors that sell Apple Watch accessories. I found a lot of neat accessories. I even found the watchband that I wanted to buy at the Apple Store but for hella cheap. I ended up buying some cool accessories for the Apple Watch for a fraction of what the watchband would have cost.
