    Oh i missed it!

    How is this Hugo boss watch?

    HUGO BOSS Men's Chronograph Quartz Watch with Leather Strap – 1513392 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01M0W5QBR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_O2W9BbB6SDG6K

    And do you know if any other make is going to be on sale in the coming days?

    Was only for yesterday. There was 8 watches on sale, most for less than 100 quid. Bought 2! Both of them selling for around 250 each on Seiko website, was 170 total or so for both. Some of the watches they have are still very cheap on Amazon compared to most other reailers. Hugo boss watches are on sale today instead of Seiko it seems.

    I bought mine from the Warehouse, the screen developed a problem after a few months, it wouldn't work in certain areas, I don't know if it was my fault or not but I never dropped it or anything.

    A decent chance a warehouse item will have a fault. Some of the issues that returned items have are intermittent or the guys checking them aren't thorough enough.

    For Prime members:

    £10 off £30 on selected Pantry items     (ships to PM / PW only).

    Picked up some pet food I buy all the time anyway - there was 20% additional off the pet food, then added 4 qualifying items for free delivery (usually £2.99).

    True, I kept a close eye on it for a few days and it looked unused out of the box, got a few months out of it anyway and my money back. Got two at the time, other one still going strong.

    A 'decent chance' is exaggerating it definitely. Many/most warehouse items have nothing wrong with them and have some packaging damage, and/or some accessories missing, stand from tv etc.

    Non-Amazon shops probably all start putting deals out tomorrow though.

    Well the whole point is to make money so why not spread it out to a week?

    Why risk it all on one day and have to deal with potential server down times, crashes, overloads, etc...

    This is better for consumers too and you don't have to spend a huge amount in one day and you get more control on what is going on.

    Unlikely, it's a niche product. Why not get the massdrop version for 160GBP available right away? (Although can be hit by customs)

    This is better than the HD600. Have a pair I use everyday for music and gaming. Has got great reviews from audiophiles. Lots of bass for an open back. Very comfortable, can wear it for hours at a time and excellent build quality. Low impedence, so doesn't need a dedicated amp. Can be run easily off a PC or even a phone.

    Massdrop is Sennheiser HD 650. They sound "darker" and many prefer more neutral 600 over them. I'm not a fan of the dark sound myself.

    Oh they're on my list!

    Although, many have complained about their grainy treble. Can't comment myself.

    210€ in Smyths with 2 games. Add a console bundle of your choice and Forza Horizon 4 to cart total will be 209.99

    Can't believe Grado didn't sue Philips for copying their mesh cup design!
