‘Amazfit’ ‘T-Rex 3’ Is Sure Cheap — BUT In Just ‘Titanium-Silver’ It LOOKS Cheap Too.

I will readily admit that it could very well be an AGE THING. For the last 4-years I have always opted for TITANIUM-BLACK (i.e., titanium with a BLACK finish) over titanium-silver. I think (& I could be wrong) that the black radiates more class.

Yes, I am sure young athletes prefer the SILVER & think it looks cool.

Yes, I am sure that there are many who do NOT realize that you can get titanium in black. So they think the only way to ‘boast’ titanium is to have it in silver.

That Amazfit doesn’t do black in any of their ‘premium’ watches is telling. Has to be the demographic they are aiming for. Yes, the cheaper end of the market.

To I, the T-Rex 3, in SILVER, looks CHEAP — & it is sure cheap compared to a ‘Garmin‘ ‘Fenix 8‘. But, it is question of getting what you pay for.

IF Amazfit does do a T-Rex 3 in BLACK, I would check it out. Otherwise, I am NOT interested.

I got a Facebook ad. for this coin for $480! Wow. I thought it was minted by the U.S. mint. No so. Minted in/by Barbados.

Very cool. I guess minted for collectors rather than for actual circulation.

Not sure whether it sells, anywhere, for $5 (Barbados) –> i.e., $2.48 in REAL MONEY!

The cheapest I have seen it, so far, on the Web is ~$380.

3 oz of silver, per today’s spot price, will be U.S. $90. So that is quite the markup.

Wow.

COOL, but I am not interested. I am weaning myself away from buying any new collectibles.
