Gravity happens and, eventually, you're going to drop your super-expensive iPhone ... probably more than once. While you should be sure you're paying for that phone bill with a credit card that will cover some of the cost if it breaks, it's better to just not break it in the first place.

It comes in waist sizes 28 to 48, and four inseam lengths, and there are eight neutral colors to choose from.

Garmin Fenix 6, Premium Multisport GPS Watch

The Garmin Fenix 6 series has everything you could want in a GPS multisport smartwatch — and a hefty price tag to match.

For what it's worth, it also comes in some cute packaging, in case you're looking to give it as a gift.
