I need to spend almost 2万円 on my suica before next week since I can't transfer a balance out of my watch. I have a new watch coming.
I stayed up way too late last night waiting for midnight to order the new Garmin Fenix sports watch. Preorders were listed as opening on the 3rd, and sure enough, the website updated. I spent a few minutes trying to decide which sku I wanted and they started selling out, so I jumped on the nicer option.
So, 2万円 worth of Famichiki and Chocomint ice cream bars?

Why do you have so much money on a suica card? And why can't you transfer it?

@Haikyoneko
Traveling through Tokyo from Chiba eats into the balance quickly. Though, I'm not commuting this week and just topped it up before thinking about the watch upgrade. Also, it is not a Suica card. It is Suica on a watch. It works almost the same as a card, but not exactly the same.

@36pickledeggs can confirm!
Did this travel a couple of times and now I'm thinking of buying a car.
I mean it's okay (but too long) if you go by local trains but if you want to have a reasonable travel time you spend quite a money every now and then. Each segment does not seem too expensive but the result surprises in a non-pleasant way :(
