oceanicservice,
Sorry, not into using your complete user name. I think this board has seen and Oceanic has proven over many years and many customers that we have excellent service and continually go the extra yard to assist consumers of our product. Aside from the fact that I am an Oceanic rep, on a personal level I find your level of dissatisfaction based on your post over a "defective lens protector" widely disppraportionate to the issue at hand. Unless there is a great deal more that we are unaware of going on. After our promisesto you were not fulfilled to your satisfaction a simple post under a real username usually does the trick to get us involved and a solution would be found to satisfy any issue.
Between both companies I have received six various samples between the GEO and AERIS Manta watch and there has never been a lens protector on any of those units. Granted I may have received some of the early units out the door since I need my sample early on. Let me check on Monday to see if we started packaging these watches with a lens protector at some point. If we have you can be assured I'll be happy to send one out to you. I have worn the watch for months and months, never had a issue wearing the watch with the traditional strap and the Velcro strap is sold as an ad on sport band.
Clearly you seem to have a great deal of animosity towards our brand. I am assuming that there are other issues of poor service as you have claimed. Feel free to PM or post here if you feel I or anyone can be of service and if I can't help I will see that the correct person will be advised on how best to handle your service issues.
Cordially,
Darryl Bowerman
