Donal, the watch is not "dodgy"
It is featured and performs exactly as advertised.
The fool bought a watch that didn't have the bells and whistles that
he expected on a "sailing watch"
He didn't do the research, bought the wrong watch and is now trying to
fob the blame for his stupidity onto the company via every bloody
newsgoup in the world.

He was *sold* a watch. The sales assistant led him to believe that he
was
buying a "yachting" watch. It appears that the watch has very few
sailing
features, if any. He was conned.



He bought a watch that's waterproof, has a timer/countdown timer,
rotating bezel and a number of other features.
What more could you want?

Tell me Donal, do you regard a sailing watch as one with an unreliable
windspeed meter and extremely basic GPS as an essential sailing watch
or a gimick laden piece of crap?

My sailing watch tells the time, and is waterproof. It didn't cost much

I've got a countdown timer on one of the boat instruments.

However, that doesn't mean that I would feel superior to someone who got
conned.


We've all been conned at some point in our lives. It's commonly known as
"experience". Being experienced doesn't make you any brighter than anybody
else, ... it just means that you have been conned more often!




Regards



Donal
