Hey /r/EDC, I just wanted to thank all of you. 9 months ago I posted here because I just bought some fun new EDC toys but I was feeling really down. I wasn't working in the field I got my degree in, I had toxic, unhealthy habits, and was living in my parents' basement. Since then, I have landed - what I personally consider - my dream job, moved into my own place, and have been making progress on those toxic habits.
I was not expecting the outpouring of support that I received from a community that likes cool shit in their pockets. Y'all helped me push through a rough time, and for that I am truly thankful.
Now for my list of stuff:
I was worried about this too (have have smaller wrists)...till I tried it on in the store (Best Buy). My fiane'e told me it looked okay and wasn't too big. You can also see pictures on Amazon's site for people that have bought it like here. It's a big watch but not oversized (about the size of a Casio G-Shock). My suggestion is to go to a store and try it on.
You still have till tomorrow 12-24-2016 to buy the watch for $50 off from Amazon or Samsung's web site (Best Buy is out of stock). Best of luck!
I've been holding off for a sale to come up, and Amazon stepped up! I printed off that page, went to Best Buy and they price matched.
The best part was, that I have been using Samsung Pay for the almost 2 years, and had over 18k points set aside....so I just used them to get Best Buy cards and lower the price even further!
Looking forward to getting to know my new watch.
Edit: spelling
Looking to get a watch for my 20th in 2 weeks. I'm looking at spending less than $300. I don't like all the flashy colors, the last watch my sister bought me was solid black, a little silver or color in between is fine but preferably I would like the watch to be mostly black. From looking on Amazon I have found the Samsung gear s3 frontier and Armani Exchange Men's AX2164 Black Watch as well as many of mvmt watches that I like the look of
Samsung S3 is rounded smartwatch with posh look. It has all features which you are looking for, such as GPS, built-in speaker, heart rate monitor and so on. And it has the option to make calls freely without needing to carry a smartphone. It has a affordable price among all smartwatch. There is a popular smartwatch reviews 2018 you can check. https://www.mostpopularitems7.com/blogs/reviews/best-smartwatches
That was the price last night for this listing.
Fossil Gen 3 Smartwatch - Q Explorist Brown Leather FTW4003 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074JH1S4J/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ilBeAbJ63MBN4
It's weird because if you click the link it says Q Wander but still shows the pictures of the Explorist. It still says Explorist in my order history as well so we'll see what ships.
Edit: Update no one will read. I received it and it was the Explorist. Great deal, excited to be back on Android Wear.

That's priced a little high for a 2+ year old smart watch that I can buy new for $179.99-$229.99. Electronics, especially smart watches, depreciate quickly.
It was $200 on Amazon and Best Buy a few days ago. Edit: Still is $200 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Fossil-Gen-Smartwatch-Smoke-Explorist/dp/B074G5GH8J/
I run mine with WiFi off, tilt on, display always on, google voice detection on, and using the stock fossil watchface. I charge every night but get a full day (7am-10pm) easily.
Started a chat with Customer Service since the link in my order stopped working. The agent told me that the order was confirmed and gave me a link to the item, which I'll put below, but the link he gave me doesnt work right now.... We'll see, I guess its just so fresh that they are tweaking their item descriptions... We shall see, Anticipation Builds.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M7MDK5S - Hopefully the link will go live sometime today.
It's probably because they raised the price by $90 today. I pre-ordered mine for $349 and today it's $439. Surely they'll "lose" my pre-order soon, too.

This is the link, I have the frontier version. It is now durable for like outdoorsy people.
Amazon warehouse deals has Fossil watches at a deep discount if you don't mind a few scratches on the band that you would put on a new one anyway. You can get a Q Marshal for $156 before taxes.
