What are you trying to keep yourself from buying?

True, but I'm too soft. If I upgrade, I'll most likely give it to a family member. My family is full of people using my old Apple devices. My cousin's call it the Cousin iPhone upgrade program. :p

It's Spring Break, so I'm working extra hours and thus will have some decent cash next week; add the recent Apple Watch price drop and I'll probably crumble by next Friday, to be honest...

Had the 42MM SS before. Sold it. Was without one for about 3-4 months, bought a space black 42mm on the marketplace as I missed it too much for fitness logging and notifications. I am glad I did!

I recently was transferred for work and got a bit of money for that. Then our bonus. And because of the move I have more disposable income.

It's taking everything I can not to purchase an Apple Watch (maybe a different model than in the pic) and a new rMBP. I'm currently using a mini (in my signature) and, while it gets by, I really miss having a MacBook.

I'm also wanting a new Apple TV, but I think I may buy that one. Right now, I'm really attacking my debt. Once that's gone then I'd have no problem buying these items when I want.

Also, I'm glad Apple didn't update the MacBook Pro. I'm not 100% satisfied with their current offering which is part of what's kept me away for the past few years.

The new nylon band would look really nice with my space grey sport. But I don't think I want to drop $50 on it.

You can see in the recent purchase thread I picked it up and I think it is totally worth the price. Replaces the casual sports bands for me as I never really liked those unless for working out. The band is great quality, looks fantastic, and super lightweight.

Go for it!
 
I know this is a design watch, but AÃRK Collective (brand) claim to use Japanese Quartz movement. The only thing preventing me I believe is that it's sold out. I love the marble though. Color is nice too.

Have wanted one of these for years. Now I'm debating if I should pull the trigger. I'd use it mostly for aviation photography, but it would come in handy for portraits and pretty much everything else too, I suspect.

isnt that abit too short for an aviation photographing? something like 80-400mm might be better?

anyway... 200mm/2.8 is a nice one =}

I have the 70-200 2.8 which I've used for air shows with a 2 X TC. I've since picked up a 200-500 5.6 which I'll try out at some point.

Well considering I just preordered the iPad Pro 9.7.. I had to keep myself from ordering the Apple Silicone cases for them because they're so expensive, but not very many third party cases are out for it yet. Also a rMBP 13". Ughh. The struggle.

I thought so at first, too. But the overwhelming majority of my shots with my 70-300 are within the 200mm range, and this lens serves for sports photos too. My only doubt right now is whether I should go for the AF-D version or the "older" AF-S one.
 
The Apple Watch is what I'm currently trying to prevent myself from buying. I really don't need it, but it's still currently a want. Maybe once Gen2 comes around I might jump on it.

Until it can work independent from the phone....
 
Really want a 12.9" iPad Pro with some trimmings... Logitech Create keyboard, Apple Pencil and Zagg glass. Think I could get approval from appropriations committee, just haven't gotten committed enough in my mind to spend my "points" ;)
 
I want an iPad Air 2 but I don't really need it. I want an ABC watch but I likely could do without. I have two custom knives on order and they should be ready soon. I don't need them. I'll get the 2nd rev of the rMacbook sooner or later. I want that and I think I can even say I need it.

I always have a lot of things I want but I just put it off. Then I forget about them usually. If I don't, then I might buy. That's what happened with my new binoculars. Shame I'm not using them more.

Really expensive, extremely detailled and pretty. Just like their other models. Even if I bought one (@280€) I would probably want to get another one after. And another. Collecting is great...

Beautiful model. Do you have to remanufacture the parts to get them to work? Or are they good out of the box?
 
I want that golden MacBook or a 12.9-inch 128GB iPad Pro gold with a pencil and a nice gold keyboard. But I can't justify to buy one of those, because I don't really need them and also cannot decide which one I want. So I need to buy both.

But I am sure there is some new MB(P) coming up in April or maybe Mai/June (WWDC).... And a new big iPad in Oktober/November? :rolleyes:

I should wait if I don't really need both now. But I can't... Im am permanently looking for good deals. :D:oops:

How can I resist??? :confused:
