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.

I’m getting a power meter, or a new watch. Can’t decide, maybe I’ll get both anyway…
I need a Garmin with decent battery life now my 520 has got lazy
I would update my Garmin Edge or add a forward facing camera.
I’d get the Garmin 945 in the hopes that Garmin irons out their reliability issues.
Thanks Ray!

A new Garmin Fenix watch will do since my watch ended up on the bottom of the sea during my swim last week :(
A Go pro!
I would love a Garmin 945 Tri watch or any of the new Fenix watches as I am training for my 1st tri and my 235 is not built for that. Thank you for the opportunity and the awesome reviews!

Woohoo! I’d probably put it into a new action cam for to memorialize my Cycle Oregon ride in September!
A Forerunner 945 would be awesome
Power meter i trust
Could use a garmin 945
I’d LOVE to incorporate a Garmin 945 into my training equipment! Thanks for all the good work, and have a nice warm Stroopwafel for me…..
Golly- I don’t know. I kinda’ have everything I *need*- but just not everything I *want*? Maybe replace my F3HR with the new 945? Maybe replace my old Edge 500? or old powertap hub with some power pedals? decisions decisions.
Fr945 most likely… or 245m? Choices…
I’d love a new powermeter!
I’d choose a Garmin watch for my dad to motivate nim to get in shape!
So many options! Maybe a powermeter for my next bike or a GoPro hero 7 or a Kickr Climb?
I would get the Garmin 945 because I want a watch that gives me a ton of data while helping me with my triathlon pursuits. It would also help me because of the battery life and the Garmin Connect software.
Those new Edge units look absolutely incredible!!
P2 pedsls
I would opt for a GoPro to replace my 4.
Garmin FR945 to finally prepare to a half marathon
Polar Vantage V because Polar has the best warranty!
I’d probably get a new power meter for the cross bike
A GoPro7 for me for all those family rides

Perfect for fathers’s day. Would by a pair of garmin watch for my father and I.
I’m more than happy with my existing Assioma Duo pedals so I think I would look to upgrade either my FR235 or my Garmin 20 plus.
Replacement for my dying 920xt!
Garmin FR935 so I have a spare watch
Hello – I’d like the Garmin Virb camera
Thanks,
Roger
Give me garmin 945 please…
Powermeter – I’d put it towards a powermeter and get serious about training
I would get the forerunner 945. My Fenix 3 is showing its age and the battery capacity is going the way of the dodo.
Suunto watch for my lovely girlfriend. :)
It’s a great excuse to finally get a power meter.
Garmin 830 to replace my 520?
Finally invest in a power meter! Maybe the Garmin Vector?
I’d love a smart trainer to replace my dumb trainer.
Hello Ray, for sure it’s been a while, but, if the regular followers are like me, they (like me) won’t miss another chance to win some goodies; for me, it would be an Edge 530 or an Edge 830, to replace my “old” Edge 800 (which still works, but…. you know what I mean, right? ;) Keep up the good work, all the best
Garmin 945 to upgrade my 230…
Wahoo Kickr because I cannot hear myself think with the noise my old Taccx Vortex Smart puts out. Not a dig on Taacx, but it’s old and the bearings are going…love it otherwise :)
Smart trainer, so I can actually ride again!
I’d get the new Garmin 945!!
New power meter, probably pedals cause I have an issue with my legs and will be good to measure that and try to improve it.
A swimming cap, which is not too tight. And a gps watch.
I’d buy a Garmin Running watch of some sort. Thanks!
Time for a new bike head unit. A shiny new Garmin or even a Wahoo.
Well, of the pictures above I’d probably go for the GoPro. I don’t have an action camera. But, if I do win I might have to reconsider what I actually need, instead of just a new toy. But I do like toys. ;-)
I would get a Garmin 530 because the elevation function on my Forerunner 935 is broken again!
Need a new trainer!!
Go Pro. Cause I’ve always wanted one!
A new power meter for sure. I just started training with power, and now I am obviously favoring training on the one bike in the stable that’s got a power meter.
A Garmin Fenix 5 plus would be awesome. As a friend of me is pressuring me (as a cycling enthousiast) to accompany him on his runs. Perhaps this watch could give me a headstart ?
Garmin 945! I’m still using a 920XT and I’d appreciate some of the new features on the 945.
If I had $500 to spend.. it would definitely be on a Garmin 945.. as a triathlete and a techno data geek.. I can never have to much information.. plus it would be nice to have the latest and greatest for my training for 70.3 worlds in Nice :)
A solid smarttrainer for those wet evenings!
Garmin 945
I’d get a GoPro. I’m a flat earther so I’d like to film myself cycling around, I mean, across it.
Finally get a power meter for my road bike
I would probably get the Forerunner 945…because, why not?
I would get a new cycling computer Edge 530 or Wahoo Element. I’m still using an older Garmin Edge 20. ?
Kickr Headwind would be nice
A new Garmin for my wife!
A FR945… Because it’s a out time I upgraded from my 920XT
A garmin fenix 5 plus so I can train to beat my wife in the next triathlon…
Quarq!!!
I’d pick one of the GPS wrist wearables. My old faithful Garmin 910xt broke during a race and I don’t know what to get next. This would make things easier.
A forerunner 945 so I don’t have to carry around a phone on my runs just to get my podcast / music fix.
I think I would use it towards an electronic group set and upgrade my shifting. It must be that which is holding me back in mediocrity
power meter, likely pedal based. Hope to prepare differently for next triathlon
i’d love to get a bunch of climbing gear – it’s something i’ve wanted to get into for ages – perfect opportunity
Garmin Forerunner 945
Forerunner 945 to replace my fenix3 HR!
My fathers day gift to myself would be a power meter to monitor my pitiful power numbers.
Gotta be a Garmin 945
I’d get the Go Pro with garmind edge :)
Maybe a music equipes running watch?
I would pick up a power meter bc I’m too cheap to buy one
Garmin descente. Because I want it
My Fenix 3 needs a replacement and the Fenix 5X Plus seems a good choice
A new power meter, maybe the vector pedals. Bc my crank exploded and killed my power meter
