📊 Industry Moves
Bloomberg reports Apple’s launching a Klarna-backed leasing program July 28 covering most Apple Watch models on 24-month terms. For fitness buyers, it’s a financing play targeting Apple loyalists; if you’re weighing a Garmin Fenix 8 Pro or Coros Pace 3, the value proposition hasn’t changed.
Marty’s Take:
The 24-month lease math only clarifies what pros already knew: Apple’s spend-per-year on wearables beats Garmin’s spend-once model. But durability compounds where financing can’t. A Garmin Fenix 8 Pro survives four Apple Watch upgrade cycles on titanium and sapphire glass; check the best fitness tracker rankings before financing anything with a two-year expiration date built in.
