sometimes reviews at amazon are annoying. I was reading reviews for a men's gps watch. somebody gave it 4 stars and mentioned that (s)he would've given 5 stars, if "the product had women's model too". It doesn't make any sense. it is clearly mentioned that the model is for men - why write the review at all? people have weird expectations

What's more infuriating is when people give 1 star reviews to products they've never purchased for bogus reasons like "the price is too high" or "this is not out in my country".
ha, that is funny. I can't afford a ferrari, so it must be a bad car, super logic !!

I've also noticed this - complaining about a product "not being waterproof" when the product makes no mention of being water proof, drivers not available for Mac when the product clearly mentions windows only etc.

Amazon should allow reviews only from people who actually bought the product, that will reduce at least a bit of stupid reviews.
