I won 10$ watch from Germany. Just for fun.
It suppose to be Deutsche Post but apparently it DHL.
Now DHL comes to me and asks for payment of import fees and their fees.
Back and forth started with why fees vastly exceed price of the item and where it coming from.
DHL did not present any explanation and only after contacting customer support they spilled the beans.
Apparently i bought something for 538 GBP. Right from Germany….
They admitted mistake and got back with 35 USD.

Hiking is not expedition. I do look positively at mountain hiking. Like one you will do in Rockies while wading off Grizzly bears and trying not to be that Revenant. Used PRW3100 that time.

I don't see hiking as in mountaineering climbing and extreme sports.

My pick for Casio is PRW3100 positive or PRW3000S (Carbon, sapphire).

Next pick will be simple solar Casio…

We closing on GBDH3000 introduction date.
Given Casio follows same release pattern.
Would we see MRG H3000 as well?
what features it will include?
Is it safe to assume Polar X Casio 2.0?
