<human>: just wanted to get something off my chest since I cannot tell friends, family or co-workers about this issue.

And - this is also slightly tongue-in-cheek since I'm not really FORCED to wear this watch and this is really a first world problem... anyway.

three years ago my wife bought me a really nice watch for our 25th wedding anniversary. It cost $5,000. She paid for it with money she has from her inheritance (parents both died early). So, it's not like she took our rent money and blew it.

That said - I'm a technology person and was looking to get a smart watch at some point for about $300 (which I thought was an insane amount of money for a watch).

So, now I have this simple analog watch that at least has the day on it. I have worn it every day for three years because my wife loves it and loves me having it. It would kill her if I put it away and replaced it with a smart watch.

Well - it quit working. This is common for high-end watches and they have to be serviced. Well, that service is going to cost $500. Which I'm not sure if I will have to foot the bill or if she will pull some of her money out of savings.

I make about $60k a year at my job. So, I don't go around telling everyone I'm wearing a $5,000 watch. They would think I'm either bragging or an idiot. 

So, I came here to kinda vent and complain about my first world problem.

Makes me think of an article I read about people who buy family members an iphone for Christmas but leave that person to make the monthly payments - they're like - "uh gee, thanks... now I have a monthly payment on something I didn't want"

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
