I picked up my brand new Octavia yesterday. Pretty basic spec (business edition, 17" mensa aero, sunset, chrome pack) but very classy IMO. After driving a Focus wagon, an Astra Sports Tourer and a Golf Variant, I can say the Skoda is definitely the most comfortable wagon in its class.

It feels a bit more premium than it is, if that makes sense. It kind of reminds me of an older generation A4 or Passat.

Yes it's boring, but I couldn't be happier with it. It's definitely not the most exiting or sporty wagon out there, but it's comfortable, insanely practical and looks like a proper car.

It kind of gives me Passat / Audi A4 B7 vibes, although that might just be me coping.

It's been a while since I got my last G-SHOCK (a DW-6900B-9, back in 2023) and with summer underway, I got the itch for a square. Luckily I found this lightly used GW-5000U-1 on a local watch forum, for nearly half of the retail price. It's got some light marks and some barely noticeable, tiny bug spray/sunscreen drops. I figured I'd probably end up getting similar wear and tear this summer and was happy to save a bit of money.

​

I'm really impressed by how 'premium' it feels in my wrist. Definitely a big step up from the GW-M5610-1 I owned a couple of years back.

My Skoda Octavia Combi won't arrive for another month. As the lease on my Opel Astra Sports Tourer has already ended, I'll be driving this lovely Golf until my Skoda is delivered.
