After posting regular topics of interest on this blog, I soon realised that "Hey! Why not do some product reviews as well since viewers would be keen to learn more as well?"
It maybe positive aspects, but it could also be negative aspects and everyone who has an interest or feedback on these products could also post in their reviews or experience as well. That way, it won't just be one person's view, and this blog would be "everyone's" blog and folks can check regularly online over here for product reviews.
Of course, articles of interest (I know, I know, they tend to be mine pretty often) would still be posted on "Latest Happenings Today". So, fret not!
To begin with this trend, I'm gonna discuss about a pair of Oakley glasses I currently own. In particular, the Oakley Dictate 2.0 (and this is just one of the many Oakley spectacles I currently own).
Why this particular pair of spectacles?
Well, to begin with, I'm not sure if it's designed to "last" only this long, but it seems to me that the parts used in this model appears to be falling below Oakley's often expected high standard of quality material used along with its workmanship. I recall the previous models I own tend to last at least 3 years or so until it shows some form of discoloration (thanks to my occupation as a fire officer, previously). In fact I still use my first pair of Oakley's since purchasing it nearly 7 years ago. Not bad for someone operating in a rough and tough occupation!
Having purchased my latest "Oakley Dictate 2.0" just barely a few months ago (and mind you, I've now switched to a emergency planning and business continuity job in an "office" environment), I soon discovered that the first part to konk off is actually the "side resin grip" (I know this is not the actual name, but I think that's the best description I can provide for now). Check out the "damage" below:
Upon enquiring with the local dealer, I was informed that the parts were not available yet.
Come on! You mean to say that Oakley launched a new product without getting ready any spare components? How could this happen? We can understand if it's for a pair of glasses launched a few year ago, but surely not with a recent model, right folks?
In fact, the sales executive even informed me that a number of clients have also reported similiar product defects even in the early stages of purchase and the advice given to them is to "remove the resin grip totally if it's causing any discomfort". Man... talk about great aftersales advice.
The last time I checked, the parts ain't shipped here yet.
So be warned. You may want to consider twice before purchasing your next pair of Oakley's (particularly Dictate 2.0). Hopefully, the quality of Oakley's is not falling below its reputable standards.
