I can totally understand what you mean. I'm feeling on the fence about this sub and I got the watch. My husband is a successful GQ type of guy and I don't think he'd wear a sporty looking watch. He doesn't even wear any watch as it is. I think it's kind of a neat idea, with the being able to use it as a credit card, but what if you lose it? And I really don't think any merchant here in Belize would take the watch as a form of payment.
They usually have to manually swipe the cards, they don't have the ability to use that feature. And the medical info? Forget about it. Great idea in theory, but wouldn't work here.
So even with the supposedly "worth" $35 watch, it's not a great box for him. I'd rather him have another pair of socks! How much are these watches being sold for on Ebay? Is it worth it for people to try to sell? Mailing stuff is such a hassle for me most of the time, I'll probably just try to think of a younger, sportier guy who would appreciate a silicone watch to give it to, we have lots of friends. I think the problem with this sub the same problem that women have with subs that send lipsticks, someone will absolutely love the bright red classic lipstick (me!) and others wouldn't be caught dead in it. That doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with red lipstick, just that it flatters some tones and personalities and pinks and nudes flatter others. Who knows, maybe it'll be a Birchbox moment and he'll love it and wear it with his swim trunks and t shirts on a boat day. Or it could come in some strange color and be even more different than I thought. I'm with you about thinking the money could have been better spent on something else for him specifically. There just aren't that many "ooh, I really want that!" men's 'beauty' and lifestyle type items that I can think of that makes it worth gambling the $20 a month. I was kind of hoping for the Kerastase shampoo for me, so at least one thing would get used. Maybe I will find someone who will love that watch and it'll make it worth it for me. This month, at least. I'm not sure I'll be keeping it for next month, I'm kind of 50/50 at this point. Why am I always afraid that when I quit, the next month will be the best ever?? It's an addiction, I swear.

Yup, I'm not happy. At this point I would have rather bought him a game for $40. I was really hoping they'd knock this out of the ballpark for $20 a month but I'm not feeling it. I hope others are happy with theirs but at this point I think I'm done with BBMan and if my BBWoman sucks this month I'm done with BB period.
