1.0 out of 5 stars
Total SNAFU, November 5, 2006
1. Watch was not shipped from the vendor shown on Amazon- therefore I now have no idea who I actually bought the watch from, and have nobody to complain to or get a refund from.
2. Ad for watch said "water resistant to 30 meters." In actual English, those words absolutely mean that the watch should withstand submersion to approximately 100 feet (30 meters) underwater, which is approximately 4 atmospheres of water pressure. NOT! When I complained to Amazon that the watch fogged up and stopped working when it got LIGHTLY SPLASHED while doing dishes, my complaint was forwarded to an entyirely different watch vendor, who proceeded to tell me that "water resistant to 30 meters" does not actually mean what the definition of those words says it means; and that if I wanted a watch that would withstand submersion in water to a depth of even ONE INCH I have to buy one that says it is water resistant to 6 million meters or some bull-cra* like that. Total hype-job. Words have actual meanings, and they are not subject to be changed by some commercial enterprise who wishes to mislead its customers. But that's what happened.
BOTTOM LINE: I am EXTREMELY dissatisfied with this purchase and have nowhere to go for a refund because someone has taken it upon themselves to re-define actual English words and "water resistant to 30 meters" means, according to watch makers, that if you actually even *moisten* the watch it will fail. In other words, "water resistant to 30 meters" means it is not even slightly water resistant at all! What a crock! I will never buy another watch online, especially from Amazon.
