Today is Friday – you made it to the end of the week – and almost to the end of spring. But more importantly, today is also National Strawberry Shortcake Day (Don’t trust me? Look it up.) Unfortunately, I don’t expect to eat any Strawberry Shortcake today. Or tomorrow. And sure, I could have titled this ‘Father’s Day Gadget Giveaway’, but some countries celebrate that on other weekends (lookn’ at you, Australia).
In any case, it seems reason enough to give away some gadget goodness. But fear not, I won’t be restricting this to those in specific countries (Australia or otherwise). Anyone, anywhere on earth, is welcome to join as always. Also, I think we just need more cake holidays to have faux reasons for me to give stuff away. It’s been far too long.
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 almost anything they sell (or get points instead). If you win, you can use that credit for anything from the GoPro Hero 7 Black (which is actually $70 off through Sunday, the lowest we’ve seen it), to the just shipping new Stages Dash units, to a random pair of socks, the Garmin Forerunner 945, or heck, even towards a new power meter. Whatever floats your boat (note: they don’t sell boats…wait, update, they do!). Also note, your credit is in US dollars, not Australian – otherwise you’d get less. Nobody wants less.
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). Or, you can leave a description of which product your dad would want for Father’s Day.
The reason you need a short description of ‘why’ is that if you just put a simple product name (i.e. FR945), you’ll likely get caught up in my SPAM filters. And nobody wants to be sandwiched between two pieces of SPAM. Got all that?
Good luck!
The giveaway entry period will run through Monday, June 17th, 2019 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time. 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.

Stages M50 – I love the look of the screen.
I’d like to get myself a Garmin power meter.
New HRMs. The ones that I have are currently old
Garmin forerunner 945!
A new garmin computer for my bike so I can use GPS maps and ride new routes as I’m useless finding my way without one.
FR945: because my FR935 is so…old-school
I don’t own one so I’d get a Power Meter .. something like the 4iiii Podium PRECISION Power Meter Shimano Ultegra 8000
Looking at the Garmin 945! Starting to have issues with my Fenix 3
Pedal-based power!
A Garmin 945… no excuse to get out now and begin marathon training…

Would like to own a Garmin fenix 5x (plus) :)
I would like a replacement /upgrade for my Garmin 935 :)
I’d go for a powermeter!
I would get the Polar Vantage V! Last weekend I completed my first triathlon: Ironman Staffordshire 70.3. I had an amazing (plus emotional) time facing/conquering my fears and if I won this giveaway I would religiously use the watch’s running power function to help realise my dream of completing a full distance tri. Thanks a bunch Ray. ✌?
Garmin Edge 530 for trail forks integration
New Garmin… 945 !
Anything that will help me catch my daughter
I’d love me a new wahoo head unit

I would get a Neo Smart trainer.
I want a newer Garmin (fenix or 945?) to go with my Stryd :)
Power pedals!
I’d get that FR945 because my 920XT is just kind of seeing it’s age and hopefully the GPS is improved!
FR945 because my trusty 910 brokedown this week.
More brighter front and rear lights. Maybe Garmin Varia. Thanks
I’d buy a new power meter!
I’d use this to buy a new bicycle head unit with navigation, so that I can get routing without burning down my phone’s battery so quickly.
Not really original, but would buy a FR945 if I had 500 burning in my pocket.
A pedal powermeter would be nice, but a 945 would also be tempting…
Happy fathers day Ray and keep up the good work. Its always a pleasure to read your reviews. You’re my go to site for straight answers. My Garmin jewelry collection could use a refresher of the Fenix kind.
I started cycling at age 50–six years ago, and I’m still using the same, glitchy cycling head unit. I’m ready to upgrade to a sleek, high-end cycling computer. Bring it on!
Probably a Hero 7 to replace my older GoPro
Garmin something my seven year old garmin is starting to get beat up pretty bad.
Need me a new multisport watch.
I want the new FR945.
Good luck.
Since nice watch for triathlon
A go-pro to make sure all is captured!
It would be a tough decision between either the 945 and a power meter for me. My 920xt has been having issues and I have no meter. I’d likely go with power meter!
I need a Garmin to exercise with and listen to music.
I’d love to get a Garmin 945 for my husband! He’s starting to run again and needs some good tech.
Tough decision…. Fenix 5X Plus or 945…. ? I’m ready for some Spotify in my life, without dragging the phone along.
Garmin 1030 because my 820 has battery issues and the touchscreen gets worse and worse.
I would buy that Go Pro Hero 7 you mentioned and whatever accessories seem necessary
I would apply it to a smart trainer. That would be cool.
I would get a new Garmin Edge!
Flew into Amsterdam this morning. Will be back after 6 days of riding
GoPro Hero 7 Black would be awesome!
Action camera!
I’d like a power meter so I’m able to see how rubbish I really am!! Haha
Best time to buy a wahoo kickr & climb :)
My dad would love a GoPro hero… But if I win I’m not sure if give him it haha
That Garmin Forerunner 945 would look lovely on my wrist as I train for a first marathon/50k or something longer!
Need a powermeter for my track bike
I would love to have the new Garmin edge 830 too complete my biking kit.
Tires, groups parts and whole bunch of goodies to pimp my bike for the Leadville100!
I really need a new GPS watch. My Garmin just died!
I’d treat myself to a wahoo kickr climb! Just because!
New Fenix, I suppose.
i am recovering from an injury and could really use a smart trainer to help me regain my watts back. Thanks!
I’d get a new watch to replace my Ambit 3,which is starting to struggle with gps accuracy. Good luck to all
I have a Garmin 3s Power meter. I would get the second-side of the power meter combo.
Garmin 945 because of the music option.
I’d upgrade my Forerunner 935 to the Forerunner 945 for sure!
Gopro7 to document close passes and the fantastic scenery.
The GoPro Hero 7 – I love my 5 but bc it doesn’t have a screen it’s harder to see my images.
I would buy front and rear cycliq cameras to make my commute safer
DC,
I would love a new garmin watch. Mine is about 10 years old now, and randomly drops signals mid run. On top of that, it randomly decides when it wants to charge, or not.
Needless to say, this is a good way to upgrade :)
John
Edge 830, my gpsmap 60 is getting really old!
945 to replace my 920 :)
While I’m not 100% sure… I think I would get the latest GoPro and use it as a fun family/kids/adventure camera.
I’m sure my dad would love to have a GoPro Hero 7.
Power metter! It’s about time i get one of those :)
a new bike computer!
I’m going to get a power meter! Or an FR945! Or something else! Oh, I don’t know.
Would love the new forerunner for all my backcountry adventures, hiking and skiing!!
Definitely a new set of Vectors. My 2nd choice would be a close competitor to my 930xt. I had to send it in twice now for replacement. I am interested in the Polars but not sure.
Garmin vector 3 pedals!!
Something to replace my Garmin Edge 500
I would get a Kickr Climb for climbing indoors!
A new power better would be great… Or a Garmin 830… so many choices
I’d get the GoPro for some summer adventures!
Power meter for my MTB? Do they sell those? If not a GoPro
I’d get a new Fenix, so I can give my old Fenix 3 to my dad :)
I need a power meter for my new bike
Any action cam of sorts … of course after reading Ray’s reviews!
I would like to put it towards some power meter pedals so I can finally train with power. TrainerRoad is great and virtual power is good but I’d love to be able to see my power when I’m riding.
Forerunner 945. Would love to further explore the running metrics!
A power meter for my road bike would be great :-)
A new GoPro sounds good to me! It would be great to have for bike rides.
Would love to get the Polar Vantage M and a little something for the expectant wife.
Hmm, decisions … Maybe a bike computer. Maybe a power meter. Maybe a 945 even though my 935 doesn’t need to be upgraded yet ;)
Garmin 945 for my dad would be nice!
Polar watch to my wife
A Garmin Edge 1030 – I lost my 920XT and I have several epic rides upcoming … and I don’t wanna get lost without real-time directions and also not being able to Strava the rides!!
I’d like something shiny.
I d get myself garmin edge. So I can track my bloodsugar with an app while cycling.
That would be awesome.
I’d probably use it towards a kickr climb.
