What are exactly the terms and conditions between Rob ter Horst and the sports watch manufacturers? We don t know. We did not even read the mentioned paper to the point to find out about this, since it has upset us. And we did not even check Rob ter Horsts site to find this information. Eventually it is in their terms and condition that it is not allowed to be published.

As long as information about these questions are not published openly, clearly and objectively for everyone, we will not trust these testers anymore, as well as their test results.

We will not study their documentations further, since we waisted our time because of those.
