    Not in the market for one right now but this is an amazing find

    Whos a good freight forwarder these days?

    • I've used https://www.shopandship.com/ a couple of times

      Can be expensive but at least they're reliable / prompt to on-forward when you're item arrives

    • I use ComGateWay, been using them for a while and ship a heck ton of stuff to my US address. End up paying the $99 USD annual 'Business' plan and end up getting 90 days of free storage and just chuck everything in, free Express shipping upgrades and a bit more. With the Business plan you do get a few nice coupons here and there, for instance last week I got a coupon for 10 free oneboxs.

      OneBox is affordable and overall CGW have some of the cheapest rates when it comes to shipping, be cautious of Lithium-Ion batteries as they will charge $18 USD per package if it does end up splitting.

      There are many alternatives though, so have a read and see which one is best for you.

    I love this website's definition of 'Pointless Price'

    • +1

      ‘Our overlord Amazon’ a bit sad and hit deep I almost just bought it to make them feel better.

      Made me had a look and it's hilarious!

      Pointless Price

      Suggested retail price provided by our vendor OR a Strike-through price imported from our overlord Amazon BUT not necessarily the sale price… in short, it’s a little pointless.

  • Does StarBuy ever consider price matching these sales?

  • Sad I was watching the video clip and it went to sold out haha FFS

    Sold out now. The pictures on the Woot website don't do justice to this watch. It is quite attractive if you checkout the videos.

    I wouldn't buy myself but for US$453 this was good value.

    Edit: BTW, excellent post by the OP - great details and called out the 23mm lug width.

    • Sorry it's 23mm big or small

      I have small wrists

      • 23mm is what you're looking for if you want to buy another strap for it.

        for determining whether or not it would suit your wrists, you'd need find the lug-to-lug measurement (not to be confused with case size)

    "20% bought 3"… reseller scum!

    • Hopefully they get stuck with it lol

    Very good watch for the price. Really cant find a better watch at that price level

  • Damn… missed out.

  • Stunning watch indeed

  • Wish the USD and Aussie dollar were better

    I don't have any USD but holding some when the conversation ratio was like 80cents to a dollar would have been better

  • Just got my order refunded :(
