Paralyzed by too much information?

I've been looking at watches. I'd like a weekend knock-around, wear-while-doing anything type watch. I've been looking at the various Casio G-shocks and there are plenty of reviews on each model.

I like one, so I look at the review and generally, they are something like this:
***** 20 reviews
**** 12 reviews
*** 3 reviews
** 1 review
* 7 reviews

The five star people swear up and down it is the greatest thing since indoor plumbing. The one star people swear up and down it is the anti-christ.

OK. Let's see if I can find another watch here with better reviews. Um, nope! They pretty much all follow the above pattern.

I could have written this about washers/dryers, cars, cell phones, restaurants, dry cleaners, building contractors, Corse Fox wheels, etc.

Did you ever feel like we have TOO much information at our fingertips now?
