You may notice I’ve ticked the ‘Associated’ box for this deal. That’s because I received an early production example in order to provide some feedback and quality assurance testing. I had hoped to be able to post a comprehensive review of it (similar to the one I did for the Boderry Landmaster) but my association prevents me from doing so here on OzBargain. Suffice to say I have now purchased the watch and by posting this deal it’s my way of saying it’s pretty darn good.
If you want to know anything more about the watch please ask questions in the comments and if I don’t have the answer I’ll find out for you.
