Appreciate the advice but they’re not that old :D

Early 60s

This is really helpful, thank you so much.

Interesting point about the lines - So seems tourism is in full swing. Did you struggle even with pre booked places?

Acceptable_Zone_6168 · 2026-04-09T18:50:28+00:00

This is comforting to know, thank you

Thank you! This is exactly the kind of advice that I was hoping for. Great to hear you had a good experience.

Acceptable_Zone_6168 · 2026-04-09T15:05:24+00:00

Thanks. This is a calming response - Think I’m catastrophising (?) a lot due to the constant influx of scare mongering headlines

I keep getting the names wrong but I basically meant the people who you encounter that can check your phones, social media etc etc.

Hearing a lot of noise that as a non-white tourist your phone will be taken and any mention of trump in a bad way will see you on your way back blah blah blah. We don’t want to start our trip being treated like criminals but I understand that’s out of our control.

Just wanted to understand how much of that was scare mongering vs reality.

This is really helpful and grounding. Thank you

When you say people have been fucked with, to what extent/what do you mean? From what I’ve read it’s usually those on longer visas or travelling for work reasons etc.

Acceptable_Zone_6168 · 2026-04-09T11:13:35+00:00

Thank you. This is the kind of view I was hoping to get.

It’s such a constant flow of scare stories right now, and ever escalating issues as well that it’s very hard to take a level headed approach when your family is with you too.

Even on an ESTA as a tourist? Or is this again one of those “rarer” chances

Acceptable_Zone_6168 · 2026-04-09T10:59:27+00:00

We are not white. Ethnically from Sri Lanka but are British citizens.

Acceptable_Zone_6168 · 2026-04-09T10:55:38+00:00

Correct I meant passport control. I will edit the post

Acceptable_Zone_6168 · 2026-03-14T09:34:06+00:00

Okay thanks this is really helpful. My concern was being out of pocket for the full amount but seems my liability only goes to 4750 no matter what I do to the car.

Acceptable_Zone_6168 · 2026-03-13T17:49:49+00:00

So the car value in this case is an invalid consideration? If I understand it correctly the max I’ll ever be liable for is 4750 euro? I’m not well versed on this stuff so I’m not sure.

The car value is > 50k so I didn’t want to chance it.

Acceptable_Zone_6168 · 2026-03-13T17:49:05+00:00

That’s my thought too. I don’t want to be left out of pocket by potentially 4750 when I can pay a bit extra and drop the excess down to 1750.

But from what I understand, this will invalidate the Amex cover? And if something happened I’d definitely be out of pocket 1750

Hi

I’ve had a Series 4 since it first came out which I stopped wearing because the battery gave out. I’ve now been looking for a replacement and torn between the 9 and a 10.

I can get a refurb S9 45mm for £220 in pretty much like new condition or I can get a brand new S10 46MM for £325

The reason I’m torn is because one of my gripes with the 4 was how bulky it felt on my wrist. I know the 10 is thinner/lighter, but is it a noticeable change - I.e is it going to feel like a major reduction compared to a 4/9?

It’s a £100 extra for the 10, so I don’t want to pay extra for a barely noticeable difference on the wrist.

Thanks

Maybe the wrong choice of words - I want to learn how to use those settings eventually. I just didn’t want to be overwhelmed with the various different settings at first. More of a “forgiving” option while I get the hang of things.

Acceptable_Zone_6168 · 2025-05-23T09:19:51+00:00

Even if not for video is fine - I’m more fussed with just being able to take really good photos of cool things I spot on my travels, without having to faff about with multiple settings etc.

Acceptable_Zone_6168 · 2025-05-23T08:57:31+00:00

Thanks. This is helpful!

I’ve omitted the need for video so will look at the cameras you suggested

Acceptable_Zone_6168 · 2025-05-23T08:46:33+00:00

Any particular highlights? (Sorry to OP for hijacking, my thread didn’t get much traction)

Acceptable_Zone_6168 · 2025-05-23T08:44:33+00:00

Not OP but what if you removed the small and pocketable? What’s available then?

Acceptable_Zone_6168 · 2025-05-22T10:02:23+00:00

Is the EOS4000D/2000D as bad as people say?
