The Didn’t Get What You Wanted $500 Gadget Giveaway

I’m sure many of you received various sports gadgets over the last few weeks as part of the holidays.  But for those unlucky elves who received only a half-eaten gel packet in their Christmas stocking from their not-so-significant others, I’ve got a festivus of a present for you: This giveaway.

The winner will get a $500 credit to CleverTraining.com, my most excellent partner in this giveaway crime.  By supporting the site through Clever Training you also can save 10% on basically anything they sell (or get points instead that are kinda like cash).  If you win, you can use that credit for anything from the GoPro Hero 8 Black to a Garmin Fenix watch to a massive pallet of nutrition gels, to the Favero Assioma power meter, or heck, even towards a new trainer. Actually, it’ll cover exactly the Wahoo KICKR CLIMB, since that’s on sale to $499 right now.  Whatever floats your boat (Note: While they don’t technically sell boats, they do sell stand-up paddle boards…which, are kinda like boats).

How to enter:

Simply leave a short description of what product you’d get and why (but don’t worry, you can change your mind later if you win).

The reason you need a short description of ‘why’ is that if you just put a simple product name (i.e. F6), you’ll likely get caught up in my SPAM filters.  And nobody wants to be sandwiched between two pieces of SPAM.  Got all that? Oh, and if you just want that amazing gadget t-shirt above, you can pick that up here. Or, become a DCR Supporter here!

Good luck!

The giveaway entry period will run through Sunday, December 29th, 2019 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time [Update – through Dec 31st when I remembered to turn this off].  Winner will be selected randomly.  One entry per person.  The selected product/products will then be ordered immediately and shipped immediately, assuming they’re in stock.

Or who knows, I may just get 28 boxes of Cliff bars, even though I’d be 64 cents short. A man’s gotta eat, right? Decisions, decisions..

  77. Steve Sproston

    I’d treat myself to a Garmin swim watch 2 (or better!).
    Since my Huawei classic (first version) packed in I’ve been wearing my old swim watch 1 all the time and miss my notifications.

  78. Stefan

    I’d buy the Garmin Edge 530 to have decent navigation capabilities without using my smartphone. And perhaps some decent light for these rare night rides.

  79. Yannick

    A new GoPro for sure! My old one deserves retirement by now…

  80. Garan

    Go Pro – definite upgrade to my old go pro with features like 4K and image stabilization

  81. adam carr

    Definitely a Garmin watch so I can stop getting lost in the woods and my other half can have proof she gets more steps and runs more than I do :)

  82. David

    Want the Garmin Edge 530 or 830 so I can ditch using a watch on the bike.

  83. Erik

    A new Garmin Edge. The battery of my one doesn’t last two hours any more.

  84. Drew

    I think I’m in need of an upgrade for my watch, the battery is completely done. So a fenix 6 would be perfect!
    Cheers Ray!

  85. Paul Wascher

    Garmin Fenix Watch – my old Garmin 235 is missing a lot of cool new features.

  86. Sven

    I would like a Edge 530

  89. jeff

    I would get the latest Garmin Fenix!

  90. Carla

    A KICKER Climb sounds just about right, I’ve had enough of getting salt on my bikes, staying indoors might be nice for once.

  91. Jared F

    Id get a new Garmin 935. My old Garmin is almost at the end of its life so need to get a new one

  92. Shane

    Maybe a Garmin music??

  93. Bartosz Adamczyk

    Kickr climb sounds like a good addition to my current setup!

  94. Erik Breunig

    A new Edge. Not sure which version yet.

  95. Jarek J

    It would be nice to get brand new Garmin FR945

  96. David Watson

    I’d get a Wahoo Kickr to replace my wheel-on trainer. When I got my first smart trainer years ago, I didn’t know whether indoor riding would become an important part of my training, or if training software would develop in a direction I would enjoy. Well, it did on both accounts, so I need a better trainer to get the most out of my training time!

  97. Matthew Harris

    Garmin Edge 830!

  98. Nicholas.

    Garmin fenix 6 for sure , miss my 5 that was stolen.

  99. A Wahoo Kickr Climb. My poor ~2008 Tacx feels embarrassed when it knows my friends are all on smart trainers. Through many 1000s of indoor km, it has earned its retirement.

  100. Randy Voyles

    Garmin fenix 6 for backpacking
