You could be right, and probably are.

They likely have VERY well paid research to determine whether a product is market worthy. I’m just some guy running my mouth on the intrawebs. lol

I still don’t know of anyone under 40 that wears a watch these days. That COULD be a roadblock they run into. Who knows.

Tell you what, KoRn, go into Target, Waldoworld, Costco, any mall, department stores, kiosks in the mall, etc., and look in their jewelry departments and look at what their largest sections are. . . you will find it is watches. Watches are a $13 billion industry in the US alone. . . even among young people. Check out QVC, SHQP, and other TV channels and see what they are selling and the selling prices. . . of watches such as Invicta, . . and look at the SIZE of the wrist watches they are selling. Some of them look as if they could double as headlights. . . or the visors on Diving Helmets. But they are selling like hotcakes. Priced anywhere from $70 to $1300 for huge watches with lots of complications with chained caps on the crowns and cages across the crystals. Some of them come with multiple watch slot, hermetically sealed dive cases to store your watch collection in. . . I'm not kidding. . . and some of these watches are bigger than the wrists they are worn on . . . and those are just the women's watches and the men's sizes are even bigger. They can be as much as an INCH thick! These are popular now.

Then check out the ads in the sunday paper for all the pacer wrist bands, health checking bands, Nike connectable straps, etc. The market is there. . .
