I can guarantee something is amiss here, and I can bet that Leica is working hard to get to the bottom of it. Not saying the testing was flawed; seemed very fair, actually. No company would be fool enough to give the highest rating on binocular waterproofness (or anything else) in the industry and knowingly not meet it. They even OFFERED a Geovid up for testing along side the Ultravid.
There are people who have been struck by lightning more than once. A US forest ranger held the record at 7.
FWIW, I know they are in the processes of moving to brand new manufacturing facilities in Portugal and Germany.
