Yeah I was going to buy today or tomorrow, figured the deal would last through Friday.
you'd think, right? i'm kinda hoping it might drop again. you know, after black friday there's cyber monday and all... i've been on the fence about getting one of these watches, but as i'm in florida for the winter i think it might be super useful for going into the ocean, yet being able to monitor what's going on life/workwise)
