How do G Shock prices in the US compare with the UK? Will be going there in a couple of weeks so might have a look to see what I can get if there is a decent saving to be made.
I've just got back from Florida, Walmart have a few watches but not many. I got one in a watch shop (as the one I wanted wasn't available in Walmart!) and it worked out no cheaper.

hmmm that's the problem - I feel suspicious cos like scammers, they have reeled us in with an unbelievably cheap price, then keep us waiting and waiting ever hopeful. If this was any kind of second-hand deal off a website (eg gumtree) or even from any other website being sold as new, we'd think we'd been scammed 100%. The only reason we don't, and hang in with a bit of hope, is because some people have actually bought from them and received goods!
If I keep waiting it goes against all my principles & brain power really - it's just the desire to get a good deal that keeps me hanging in which is foolish probably. How long do we wait? - Until mid september, or the end of september? I don't know.
I can tell you this though, whatever I end up doing, and whatever way it shakes out (whether I ever receive the watch or not, or lose my money) I will never ever use them again as I don't need this kind of rubbish in my life, so in future I simply won't look at them, and won't see what amazing 'deals' I have missed. It's a bad business model IMO.
Request for refund made. Seemingly the watch I purchased is no longer obtainable - I found this out by contacting Casio directly. We shall see how long it takes Figel Hofara to acknowledge this and refund my account.If I keep waiting it goes against all my principles & brain power really - it's just the desire to get a good deal that keeps me hanging in which is foolish probably.

Yeah I've requested refund too. It's been sent to their 'finance dept'. On friday I will send a follow up request to see where it's at.
Hmm, interstingly just been on the phone to Casio Uk, they confirmed they have the watch in stock, they confirmed that Nigel O Hara have placed a number of orders for said watch, they also then informed me that they had a note on the system saying the Nigel O Hara needed to call them about the order. Unfortunately the chap at Casio (who was very helpfull and even apologised for the length of time waiting for the watch) couldnt tell me anything else about what the note was about. Email sent to Nigel O Hara which will shortly be followed by a phone call.pacey205 said:

On a very personal note, I will never use this company again and will actively encourage anyone else I know is considering to purchase from them, to look elsewhere.
Just got number 6! A GD-120TS-3CR.

Well today after 2 & 1/2 months and 12 communications (I remained courteous throughout) with nigelohara ( all instigated by me) since ordering my watch, today I finally got a refund
A day I genuinely feared would never arrive. As no naming and shaming is allowed I shall not sleight the company, but I will say I will never, ever, even look at their website again. All the above are facts, so hopefully won't be deleted by mods.Gassing Station | Watches | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
