1.99 delivery fee for the driver is pretty weak even if it’s only a 5 min drive from the gas station. Figured an extra $5 would be fair for his time

I'm sorry - let me catch up, here.
I'm supposed to be buying car washes from a gas station via an app used to grossly overpay for fast food?
WtF?!

Well the main intent is that you can buy gas station stuff like snacks and drinks. Good if you're stoned and munching out but unable to drive. Can't say that i've ever used it before today myself but there are people out there that use it.

Which location is that @sabad66 ? Seems like the two within my vicinity are not offering the same deal.

There’s a pretty sweet bogo deal with Uber eats and Shell right now. Stacked with the 75% off promo comes out to a Total of 10 car washes for under $50 (excluding tip)
Attachment 98054
They have to be used within a year of activating but I think I should be able to use 10 in a year

Thats a great deal, If i didnt get free washes i'd jump on that.

Bought a Garmin Fenix 6X Pro at Best Buy.

Was able to do a price match with London Drugs and bought the watch for $830. It was listed for $890 at Best Buy at the time and is now $960.

Sorry but I need to ask, what extra features does a $900 smart watch have over a $300 one have which make it the reason for spending the extra coin?

It has proper GPS tracking, topography maps, barometer, etc. It basically puts one of those handheld GPS units on your wrist along with quality sensors.

Garmin watches aren't smart watches.

I was looking for two features and this was the only watch I could find that have them.

1. Long battery life - 60 hours in full GPS mode (sampling every second).

2. Full navigation. This includes topo maps and the ability to load a course, tell the watch to follow the course and receive warning when one ventures off course.

It has many other features I will probably never use except possibility altitude adaptation. It does this by measuring the oxygen level in the blood.

That's not really true. They do text, control calls, music, etc. They just don't do as good of a job as an actual smart watch. It's very clearly a secondary function, but it's a function nonetheless.

[killramos]

I would have way more interest in a high end Garmin to supplement my regular watches for sports etc. than an apple or android watch.

I really like Garmins golf watches.

[ExtraSlow]

Garmin golf watches are good.

[bjstare]

Their golf watches are indeed good. I had an S60 for a while (the quasi-smart watch one). Had some great features with the shot tracking and integration with their phone app, but at the end of the day it couldn't replace my laser rangefinder so I got rid of it.

[killramos]

I’m a much worse golfer than you, watch was as accurate as I ever needed it to be.

Plus you really piss people off when play is backed up and you are pulling the laser out for 120 shots a game. Watch much quicker.

Yes I shouldn't have used the term "smart" my bad. I get the battery life which is really nice for sure. As long as one uses the features that they are paying for I get. It's those who just spend the money when they only use or need half of what they got.

[jutes]

Paying for range finders for the average golfer is ridiculous when you can't consistently hit the ball. I use a free app, Hole19, that gives me accurate enough readings and hasn't let me down.

I find it rare to buy a sophisticated piece of technology and use all the features. It is the price one pays when they absolutely need one feature and only the highest end watch has that particular feature. For me, the trade off was worth the cost.

The first day I used the watch, I went for a walk. At the end of the walk, the watch told me to rest for 12 hours. The next day, I went for a run. At the end of the run, the watch told me to rest for 60 hours and then congratulated me for being the most improved athlete in the world. That alone was worth $500.
