Blew $150 on a fancy multimeter that has a Bluetooth app I never use

Picked up a Fluke with wireless data logging because I thought it would save me time on diagnostic calls, but the app disconnects every 10 minutes and I still just use the leads like a normal person, has anyone else fallen for the high-tech upcharge?

@matthewkim is right that the base meter is still top quality, just the Bluetooth gimmick that flops. Your money went to a solid tool anyway.

Stuck one of those Bluetooth adapters on my old meter once, battery died in two weeks and I never re-paired it. The basic functions are still rock solid, so you didn't really waste your money.
