Ferguson is to be avoided....
I suggested him on another thread, seemed like a nice guy on the phone, good at self promotion, too.
He had the one of the Fortis alarm watches that I wanted (I believe the only one in the US), and I didn't want to go gray market so that I would have customer service as necessary.
I discussed with him that I was worried I might not like it, and he said, "I have a 3 day return policy". He said he wanted to size the watch for me because it was tricky to do. I sent him my wrist measurements, paid him, and received the watch 2d later.
When I tried it on, I knew immediately it wasn't going to work for me. It reminded me of an Omega 125 in it's bulk. It was giving me carpal tunnel symptoms within about 15 min. (I don't have carpal tunnel synd). I am cursed with spindly wrists,
I had looked at the measurements before buying it, and it's just about the same size as my Sinn diapal 757, which I love, and is very comfortable. The Fortis just felt like a brick on my wrist.
I called Gary within a half hour of getting the watch and told him it wasn't going to work. He convinced me to give it a try, said, "wear it for the weekend and see how it does". I wore it for about 2 hrs, and became sure that it just hurt. I tried calling him back, but he was closed (I'm on the west coast). So I drove over to the post office and mailed it back the same day (Friday)
I called today, Wednesday, to see if he'd received it. He said no, and that there were no returns anyway. I reminded him that he'd told me there was a 3 day return policy, which he now said is only for ebay items (I'd had no interaction with him except on the phone). He also said he couldn't take it back because the band size had been changed, so it was now a used watch.
Our discussion went nowhere, and I finally told him I'd take it up with Visa and hung up on him. clown.
After my recommendation of him, I saw a couple of replies to my comment saying he was no good. Wish I'd seen those earlier.
Anyone wanna buy a watch?
