Chronograph in Australia

[Lloyd90]

If I buy this Garmin chrono out I’m Oz, works out about £427 so think I’d save about £100 vs buying in the UK.

For anyone that has one; is there any difference to the one in the UK?

Assuming not but thought I’d check.

Oz version comes with ground anchors. How else is it going to stay put upside down

Of course, because the bullets spin the other way in the southern hemisphere

Is that £427 including the fact you can claim the GST back when you leave? Simple form and you get the GST back a few days after putting the claim in.

No mate what’s that? Was just comparing with the £ to Ozzie $ exchange rate.

In essence if something is over 300bucks, and leaving the country within 60 days permenantl you can claim the GST back when leaving. Simple form, copy of receipt and done.

I got caught out in South Africa as my invoice didn’t have my home address printed on it. No refund for me!

Forget that for the time being is the unit the same?

No mad Ozzie charger cable etc? I reckon even that would be less than £100.

Look at the Garmin website. It’s charged by USB-C, so you’ll have no issues with it.

Shipped out of the States, so probably so.
