Garmin on India expansion plans and why Apple Watch Ultra is good for the smartwatch industry | Exclusive
'Our biggest expansion will happen in 2023.'

Garmin has announced the appointment of Yeshudas Pillai as new India head to help "drive stakeholder engagement, growth, and development of the brand" in the country. The iconic brand, known for its razor-sharp accurate GPS navigation products, wants to expand its business in India where it sees huge potential thanks to a 32% YoY growth till Q3 2022.
Garmin, in fact, is eyeing to make India one of its top 3 markets (in the Asia region) in the next 5 years. Pillai, evidently, has a lot on his plate. (He has over 16 years of experience and has previously been associated with brands like Harmon, Sony, Casio, Canon, and Nestle.)
"I have always been a great believer of innovation and technology and the potential it has to change the moving world," he tells FE on the sidelines of the announcement, adding that he is "excited to join the Garmin team and accelerate its growth in India."
The Garmin India story
Garmin needs little introduction. It has been around for almost three decades. (Fun fact: Garmin made GPS and Personal Navigation Devices (PND) for automotive, aviation, and marine activities during its early days. The name Garmin is a portmanteau of its two founders, Gary Burrell and Min Kao.) Its India story, though, is relatively new starting off –only—in 2008. Slowly and gradually, it has transitioned to— also— making wearables for consumers.
"Garmin has this huge legacy, especially on the GPS front. But we also keep evolving and innovating. We spend a lot of money on R&D so as to offer something which makes people's lives easier," Pillai says, adding that "that's the reason for coming from aviation, marine to wearables."

He notes how important wearable tech has become, now, especially in the wake and aftermath of COVID. You want to stay healthy; you want to track yourself, and how energised you are— as accurately as possible.
Cracking the India market isn't easy and Garmin is aware of its strengths— and some of its limitations, too. It is one of the few brands designing its products end-to-end. Complimenting the core portfolio is an equally impressive and elaborate set of accessories. But all this comes at a cost, Sky Chen who is regional director for Garmin South-East Asia and India tells FE.
"We make products end-to-end ourselves so we make sure that the quality is the best in the market. (So, our prices are also a bit high.)," he says, adding that "more and more local brands are playing the price war, which is a challenge [for Garmin] but we want to aid more on the value side of the services [we offer] through the products we deliver to market so consumers can enjoy them for longer."
Pricing and competition
Pillai is quick to reiterate that Garmin has established itself as a niche category brand which is to say its products –and services— are meant for a very specific group of users who want "to lead a healthy lifestyle" and that overall "quality comes at a price."
When you look at its Venu series, Garmin follows the $300 price bracket. That's the gateway or entry-point into the Garmin-verse, at least at the time of writing. The line-up exists because Garmin needs a product like that, at that price point, for those – first-timers— who want to experience Garmin for the first time. Beyond that, it's all about use case and budget. These things can go up to $2,000.
Despite the varying price points, the quality stays consistent, Sky says. You only pay for getting more and more features as you climb the price ladder. The core pillars, say for instance, quality of the heart rate sensor or SpO2 tracking, plus strong battery life, are the same across the board.
"The way we progress in terms of pricing, you get more and more features and advantages [as you go up]. That's how we place our products categorically. Venu, for example, is a wellness category product. It's for someone who is more concerned about health. Whereas we have a series called MARQ, which is focused on divers and aviation experts. But the quality of a $200 watch is same as a $2000 watch," Pillai explains.
When asked if Garmin would ever launch a smartwatch below $250-$300, Sky says "no, we can't fall below that because we can't compromise on quality."
That $250-$300 segment is also where Apple and Samsung are dominating fair and square. They are the undisputed "mainstream" brands even as local and Chinese players are making sure "affordable" watches and bands are a dime a dozen.
Sky argues that Apple and Samsung are more lifestyle-centric while Garmin is "already strong in the running and cycling space" and has "ecosystem accessories [like power metre for cyclists] also, something that they don't have." And it is apparently more serious about each of this, down to the minutest detail. That said, Garmin is definitely trying to break into more markets and attract more consumers through events and initiatives like Garmin Run Club.
Speaking of which, when asked about how it feels about Apple entering its turf with the Watch Ultra, Pillai says "having a competition [like that] in the local market is always healthy," because "it motivates you to deliver better products and to perform better in the market."
He adds that Apple getting into the high-end smartwatch game is actually good for Garmin because it helps build awareness [about health and fitness and how far smartwatches have come in terms of offering a holistic experience] which invariably also leads to growth of the industry.
"Sometimes people are aware [about tech] because of a competitor and then they can know who's who, and which one they should choose, after," Sky says, adding that "Garmin already had SpO2 before COVID. When COVID happened, people were like, Apple supports SpO2 [too] but we had it first. Now, people know smartwatches can be used for diving also but Garmin has had it for years."
Expansion plans
Garmin has a pan-India presence, Pillai says. It is present across all the channels but at the same time, it has been very selectively available in those channels. For instance, it's there on Amazon and Flipkart but it is aware that it needs to also venture into more online platforms. It's present at Helios and Just in Time but it also wants to be at Ethos and Kapoor Watch Co. On the modern trade front, it's there on Croma and Vijay Sales but it wants to also onboard Reliance Digital. It has its own brand stores, too, and also available across the sporting goods channel.
Pillai admits, all these efforts have been in "bits and pieces" so far but its "biggest expansion will happen in 2023 wherein we will foray into almost all channels that India has to offer."
Garmin plans to have more than 10 brand stores in the country by the end of 2023 as part of this strategy.
As for products, Sky says that Garmin has seen "a growth in the preference for mid high range ($300 and above) smartwatches over the last couple of years in India," and that based on these trends, the brand is bullish on the premium segment and plans to actively expand its offerings in the near future.

The Week Of Is A Middling Comedy That At Least Improves On Recent Adam Sandler Vehicles
As far as general comedies go, The Week Of is just kind of "eh". It's more pleasant than funny, it's plot structure of revolving around the week leading up to a wedding gives it some form of narrative focus, but it totally stumbles in trying to create a schmaltzy third act around characters who haven't qualified as all that humorous let alone worth engaging in emotionally. But since Adam Sandler is playing more of a human being here than a wacky vocally high-pitched caricature rejected from Saturday Night Live, plus the bathroom humor has been limited to just an old man constantly needing his diaper changed, it isn't all that grating and that makes it practically a masterpiece compared to most of Adam Sandler's leading man efforts and especially when compared to his other Netflix efforts.
Sandler gets to play Kenny Lustig here, a run-of-the-mill middle-aged guy whose daughter is about to get married to the son of wealthy surgeon Kirby Cordice (Chris Rock). Lustig insists on footing the bill for the entire wedding, per the traditional role of the father of the bride in these scenarios. Of course, things aren't going as planned, whether it's the shoddy conditions of the hotel that Lustig has paid for Cordice's relatives to stay in or the steadily growing number of people who are forced to stay in his own home for the week. It's only seven days until the wedding, but with all the mishaps he's going through, it feels like an eternity for Kenny Lustig.
That's basically all that goes down in The Week Of, which doesn't just serve as the newest Adam Sandler vehicle, it's also the directorial debut of Robert Smigel, the man who created Triumph The Insult Comic Dog in addition to numerous other comedic achievements. I've enjoyed a lot of Smigel's other work as a comedian (especially Triumph) and I wish the same sense of comedic creativity that's found in his other works was more present here. The Week Of isn't bad, no sir, but it is on the generic side of things, which is certainly something that isn't usually used to describe the work of a guy who walks around interviewing people with a profane dog puppet.
The best jokes in The Week Of are unexpected out-of-nowhere gags like Steve Buscemi showing up with giant oversized candy bars and booze bottles, while weaker material like Adam Sandler and Rachel Dratch (who play husband and wife here) engaging in loud off-screen arguments suffer from a sense of stale predictability. The same goes for a joke about an elderly relatives inability to use the bathroom on his own, we've seen these gags before and it feels like more imaginative material could be wrung out of this premise. The fact that Chris Rock doesn't factor as heavily into the proceedings as one might expect is also an issue that lessens the amount of successful comedy found in The Week Of, though at least supporting actors like Buscemi and Rachel Dratch score some laughs in their screentime.
An extended schmaltzy climax that greatly overestimates one's emotional investment in these characters ends things on a poorly executed note complimented by Adam Sandler doing some intentionally bad singing that's more grating than humorous. Luckily, this is the rare instance of The Week Of doing painfully bad comedy, most of the jokes that misfire here are dull more than anything else. There are some funny jokes to be had here though and again, that alone makes it a step up from the torturously unfunny films Adam Sandler has starred in in his time as a leading man on Netflix. I do long for the day though when Adam Sandler stars in a comedy that manages to be good before you compare it to his other movies.

Audi RS 3 Sedan and RS 3 Sportback Indicative Pricing for South Africa
NewsSouth AfricaVideo
By Zero2Turbo	 On Dec 3, 2021
The new Audi RS 3 Sedan and RS 3 Sportback will be arriving in South Africa around the second quarter of next year and with the reviews and videos hitting the net, it is not surprising that potential customers and even fans are keen to know what the pocket rocket from Ingolstadt will set you back.
We managed to obtain indicative pricing for the new RS 3's which could vary slightly by the time they launch in South Africa in Q2 2022;
RS 3 Sportback – R1,165,000
RS 3 Sedan – R1,195,000

Yes, that would be the base price but that already makes it R65k cheaper than the Mercedes-AMG A45 S base price and R150k less than the CLA 45 S.
As a reminder, the duo packs the 2.5-litre turbocharged inline-five delivering 394 hp (294 kW) and 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) of torque. Audi claims it has the best acceleration in its class and we tend to agree with them. The claimed 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint is 3.8 seconds but we already know it is capable of something a lot faster than that.
Audi also boasts that it will hit 250 km/h (155 mph) in standard form or 280 km/h (74 mph) with an optional performance package. And if you opt for those ceramic front brakes, the RS 3 can hit a staggering 290 km/h (180 mph), making it the fastest vehicle in its class.

Kurt Warner has been hearing three questions almost nonstop
since succeeding Trent Green as the Rams' starting quarterback
after Green suffered a season-ending knee injury in an Aug. 28
preseason game. "An unknown guy has the spotlight thrust upon
him, and everybody wants to know the same things," said Warner
the night before facing the Lions in the preseason finale. "Who
is he, what's he about, and can he do the job?"
Who is he? Warner, 28, started just one season at Division I-AA
Northern Iowa and had a brief tryout with the Packers in 1994
before landing in the Arena league. In guiding the Iowa
Barnstormers to two Arena Bowls in three seasons, he threw for
10,465 yards and 183 touchdowns while sharpening his reads and
his confidence. When he moved back outside and joined the
Amsterdam Admirals of NFL Europe in 1998, he led the league in
yardage, completions and touchdowns, prompting St. Louis to sign
him. Warner threw only 11 passes last year, but when Tony Banks
and Steve Bono left town after the season, he was promoted to
"We had an opportunity in the off-season to get another
quarterback," says Rams offensive coordinator Mike Martz. "If we
hadn't felt great about Kurt, we would have done something
then." Martz says the team has no plans to start quarterback
Paul Justin, who was acquired last week in a trade with the
Raiders. In fact, Martz has so much confidence in Warner that he
has assigned him no extra work or study sessions in preparation
for the regular-season opener against the Ravens. "You look at
me like I'm crazy when I say that," says Martz, "but we know
Kurt, you don't."
What's he about? With a crew cut and a goatee, the 6'2",
220-pound Warner has a look to match his 1950s-style work ethic.
While it would be nearly impossible for him to match Green's
take-charge attitude and accuracy, Warner has endured some
off-field hardships that may have enhanced his on-field poise.
In 1996 the parents of his wife, Brenda, were killed in a
tornado in Mountain View, Ark., and the couple's oldest son,
10-year-old Zachary, has been blind since suffering a head
injury in an accident when he was a baby. "I've been through
some pretty rough stuff," says Warner. "So maybe I know better
than to get hyped up over starting a football game."
Can he do the job? "Kurt is going to play better than any of the
Number l draft picks at quarterback this year," says St. Louis
coach Dick Vermeil. Last Thursday, after just three days of
practice with the first-team offense, Warner guided the Rams to
two touchdowns and a field goal in his three drives against the
hapless Lions, completing nine of 15 passes for 89 yards in the
17-6 win.
In the course of directing his first NFL touchdown march, Warner
sidestepped Detroit tackle Luther Elliss, corrected tight end
Chad Lewis when he lined up wrong, fired a 25-yard laser to
Ricky Proehl, scrambled 12 yards for a first down and tossed a
six-yard scoring pass to Marshall Faulk. Unlike most first-time
starters, though, Warner made no effort to retrieve the ball. He
got a nicer keepsake later when Vermeil handed him the game
ball. "Hopefully," said Warner, "what I did tonight was answer
some of those questions about me."

Miranda Lambert Thanks Fans for 'Sharing My Broken Heart With Me' at ACMs
Rachel McRady
Entertainment Tonight 16 April 2018
The country star took the stage at Sunday's ACM Awards following her breakup from Anderson East.
As Miranda Lambert was making history on Sunday night at the 53rd Academy of Country Music Awards, she took a minute to honor her fans.
The 34-year-old singer took the stage to accept the Song of the Year award for "Tin Man" and declared, "Thank you guys so much for sharing my broken heart with me."
The sentiment is similar to Lambert's Album of the Year acceptance speech in 2017, when she said, "I just want to say thank you for letting me use my heartbreak and sharing that with me."
"Tin Man" is an emotional ballad about wishing one doesn't have a heart so it can't be broken. Lambert's heartfelt acceptance speech comes less than a month after news broke that she had split from her boyfriend of two years, Anderson East.
.@mirandalambert is taking home the award for Song of the Year for 'Tin Man.' Congratulations! #ACMawards ✨ pic.twitter.com/MjNKinUEU2
— ACM Awards (@ACMawards) April 16, 2018
The couple had been dating since 2015, following the country crooner's split from ex-husband Blake Shelton earlier that year. Shelton attended the ACMs with his girlfriend, Gwen Stefani, by his side.
The exes were careful not to cross paths, and Shelton and Stefani were spotted cuddling in the audience earlier in the show.
Lambert also won the award for Female Vocalist of the Year, giving her the all-time record of 32 awards, more than any artist ever at the ACMs.
"I really can't believe it," she told reporters backstage. "I just always try to live in the moment I'm in and then make myself better and try to be better. I try to reinvent and try to be a better writer and a better singer and a better performer and better person all around, I guess, so I don't dwell on the past."
She also called out the fact that there were no females nominated in this year's Entertainer of the Year category, saying, "Carrie [Underwood]'s kicking a**, and I'm trying to kick a** as much as I can on the road, so I don't understand what's going on with that, but I know that there's going to be a change. And I know if we just keep plowing ahead it will get recognized and have its moment for sure."

Journey. Another one of my favorites. Particularly – Don't Stop Believing. My oldest brother's room, was one of the largest in the house. It had red shag carpet, stripped wallpaper (maybe) and a basketball hoop. I'm sure it was an eight track player, it was a monumental silver piece of equipment that he had placed behind his door. I remember sitting on his bed watching him play with his basketball. Don't Stop Believing was playing in the background. One of my favorite tricks was for him to spin the basketball on his finger. He was a PRO! He should have been on the Harlem Globetrotters team. My brother has since passed away. However, I have vivid memories of this moment.
Toto. Goodness! Rosenna – This song reminds me of vanilla scented tree air fresheners hanging from the rear view mirror. My sisters 1980-ish white and cream GMC truck, equipped with a stellar camper shell…complete with carpet kit. I loved this truck. In the olden days, we didn't wear seat belts. It was brown plush carpet. I was riding in the back on one of our many trips to the canyon. I had a pillow, the sliding side windows were open. I had the whole back of the truck to myself. Rosanna was playing, the wind was blowing my hair, and I could feel the rhythm of this song in my soul.
Hall & Oates. It doesn't matter what kind of day I had. I can go home and tell Alexa to shuffle songs from Hall & Oates, and it makes everything better. Seriously!
This is getting completely out of control! I could go on and on with favorites. Greats like Ozzy Osbourne, Don Williams, Michael Jackson, Guns N' Roses, Exile, Eddie Rabbit, Prince and so on.

One of the things I appreciate about Mike is that he takes charge. I get annoyed easily with guys who always say "I dunno, what do you want to do?" when we're making plans. Getting a phone call from Mike letting me know what he had planned for us and where I could meet him was refreshing.
I agreed to meet him at Madame X, a lounge in the West Village that I had never been to before. When I got off the train, I had a very apologetic email from him saying that he was running late due to train issues, which was understandable because he was coming from Long Island. I continued on to our date spot and when I arrived, I was slightly taken aback. The first thing I saw was a large mural on the wall featuring a naked woman with large breasts and lots of um… hair. The drinks on the menu had names like "cherry pop" and "indecent proposal". What kind of place is he taking me to? I thought to myself. I'm pretty conservative, so an overtly sexual place for a first date threw me off… maybe his selection speaks to the blog personality some of you have been leery of.
I found a couch near the front and waited for Mike to arrive. He sent me a text saying that he was in a cab and a few minutes later I saw a man in a suit rush into the bar. I knew immediately that it was Mike. He looked around the bar and I waved to get his attention. He made his way over, gave me a big hug and apologized again for being late.
I think online dates and blind dates can do a number on your insecurities. I'd kept my outfit simple: Jeans, a flowing racer back top (yes, I showed my arms on a first date!) a big chunky necklace and beaded sandals. Leaving my apartment I felt cute, but in those first few moments sitting in front of Mike for the first time… I felt aware of everything; Am I too big? Should I have worn my hair down? Am I too tall? Why didn't I cover my arms?! But Mike quickly put me at ease. Within the first hour he'd complimented me on how I looked, and made random commentary about things like the color of my toenail polish (they were bright pink, pretty hard to miss). He kept asking me if I was going to run away, which made me realize that he too was in a bit of a self-conscious space.
Even if Mike took me to a sexually charged venue, his actions were very respectful. I actually felt comfortable with him and got to learn a lot about him. Because he reads my blog, I knew I would have to be 100% honest with him about everything from the beginning. When he asked if Robert was still around, I told him yes. Which was awkward, but he handled it well. "I'd love to meet him," he said sarcastically.
I also decided to be upfront with him about anything I might write about him so that nothing he might read would come as a surprise. "Why would you bring me to a place with naked women painted everywhere?" I asked. He laughed and reminded me that he had warned me about the "art work" when he first suggested the venue. "I think in my head, I thought it was going to be more… tasteful" I said. We laughed, finished our drinks and then we decided to grab dinner. Mike was sweet, affectionate (held my hand, played with my hair etc.) and very complimentary of me. For a first date, I had no complaints.
Now here comes the hard part: I judge a guys interest on how much he keeps in touch after the first date. In the same way that I appreciated Mike's take charge attitude when it came to planning our date, I'm looking to see how he takes charge with how we move forward.
When I got home, I had a message from Mike saying that he had a great time with me and that he wanted to see me again before he the weekend was over. Unfortunately, although we tried, that didn't happen which is fine… I know that he was here to see family and that should be his priority. But, I guess I'm holding my breath to see if keeping in touch with me becomes a priority.
sounds pretty interesting…am glad you enjoyed it..
P.S since he gonna read this post, doesnt it make writing about it a bit weird?
Sounds like it went well! Looking forward to seeing where this goes. Although I agree with doll- is it weird since he actually reads your blog?
I'm so proud of you for showing your arms on the first date! I smiled like I know you forreal!
But dude sounds cool. I like the take charge thing. Keep moving forward, see where this leads.
YAY for the arm exposure, that's so win. It's kinda laying it out there and saying "If you don't like it, bye!" I love that you went that route even if that wasn't quite your intent.
I'm even more excited to hear it went well. And I hope you meet up again, because not only does he sound like a genuinely decent guy, he sounds mysterious and I'd like to hear more about him!
Sounds like a great first date! This is my first time reading your blog, and as a bigger girl myself, I look forward to reading more!
