Shopping Report: The Watch Co Online Experience

September 2nd, 2010

What I discovered and what I feel about it.

For me whenever I look at shopping online several fundamental areas truly should be in place.

I really have a dislike for clunky, slow to load, sites that simply cause the whole process to become too drawn out.

Let’s admit it, we shop on-line for efficiency and convenience because of the mad pace of life that we tackle in today’s reality. So anything that slows us down is really aggravating, even more so if we are intending to spend hard earned funds there as well.

So when I was asked to do a review of The Watch Co my first thoughts were “ok let’s see what you got!”

So let’s get started.

Ok so I surfed over to The Watch Co

First impression… Excellent slick site. Loads fast. Clean and clear layout

Love the shop by..brand,price,styles and lifestyle section. Real timesaver. Very easy.

Another thing I like to do when I’m reviewing a site is I want to see what they are about.

Do they have a concept or is it purely about diversifying and “cashing in” on the online market.

Ok I’m pleased to say that Watch Co do actually care about what it is they do.

Excellent, another site to add to the list.

In my recent experience I find most online shopping sites and …are no exception, do have a genuinely different ideology to customer service than virtually all traditional retailers.

Now this may be caused by the fact that the power is in the hands of the customer more than ever with the online shopping model but I also figure that in the fresh medium of the net there is a awareness that does recognize the customers, and that a higher degree of service and attention to detail is necessary to maintain the customers attention.

An on-line transaction is only ever a click off from losing the customer.

So enough about the online shopping concept, what about the functionality.

I found the site to be very user friendly. Not perfect but what is? Unquestionably a smooth and simple browsing experience. Catalogue, selections, facts and sizing also excellent.

Shopping Cart process, really fast, smooth and secure.

Really confident feel, as a visitor to the Watch Co site.

It’s a great site actually. The left hand sidebar really directs well and let’s you know everything they have at a glance. Like Skagen Wall Clocks! Now I know where to find them.

Another thing, I believe that in dealing with all reputable websites now, the whole matter of credit card security is a non issue.

You can shop with trust.

I’m don’t mean just give up your details anytime anyone asks but with this grade of online store and most online shopping sites, the risk of credit card scam is pretty much zilch.

Then my thought on The Watch Co:

… is a fantabulous online shop.

User friendly

Fantastic variety of products.

Uncomplicated to find your way around, select etc.

Shopping Cart process excellent.

Overall rating 10/10

Watch Movies Free On The Internet

September 1st, 2010

Everybody is watching movies online nowadays. Everyone’s doing it. You, your nan and even your grandad are watching films on the internet. Can you blame them? Free movies at the click of a button. I can’t. Who wants to pay extortionate cinema prices anway? Just check the search engines you can find a bundle of free movie sites on the internet now.

The main problem is that not many of these movie websites are actually legal. There is also a good chance that you could get in trouble for using them and watching movies at your computer. Just think how much money movie studios have. They could sue you for big money and would it have been worth it for watching a lousy copy of a film? I doubt it.

By using a legal movies website you will feel a lot better about yourself. You will feel a lot better about the fact that you are not breaking the law and you will get an awesome copy of the movie you are watching. Lets face it, who wants to watch a movie that was filmed in the cinema? Not me. Give me legal movies any day of the week.

When watching legal public domain movies its best if you watching the video directly on the site. It’s hard enough browsing movie websites and being redirected to other video hosts. Look for a site that offers click and play. You find your title, click it , hit play and you’re away. Free movies streaming in high quality.

Check Google every now and again, you will start to see more and more websites that are offering independent, b-list and public domain movies. This is the start of things to come. It’s great that we are now able to watch high quality movies on the web. You never know, in ten years time the cinemas may even be out of business!

Negative Ion Bands: How These Fashionable Accessories Create Positive Health Benefits

September 1st, 2010

You may have started to notice celebrities and famous sports athletes wearing them. They are the latest new trend from Europe and they are taking over the nation. Ion watches, also known as negative ion bands, are being worn by children and adults who have experienced their unique healing benefits.

Ion watches are fashionable, functional, and believed to have many health benefits. You may have noticed many famous sports athletes wearing these thin, colorful silicon bands. There are a number of reasons why sportsmen in particular love these watches. To start, they are water and shock resistant. They are also more comfortable that watches with metal or leather straps–which makes them popular with golfers. From basketball players to swimmers, silicon watches can be worn by athletes in many different fields.

In addition to all this, people wear the watches because they have been known to increase things like flexibility, balance, and energy. They can help you recover faster from fatigue. They can increase your concentration and focus. And they are also known to ease joint pain.

How do they work? We thought you might be wondering. Ion watches are composed of specially processed materials that attract negative ions to the human body. Every day your body generates and absorbs ions to try and create a balance. Often the ions that we generate and absorb are thrown off balance by the ions in all of the technology that we come in contact with on a daily basis–lights, computers, televisions, etc. In general, we are overloaded with positive ions and often do not get as many negative ions as we should. Many scientist believe that a low level of negative ions can affect our bodies and cause imbalance, stress, and pain, and ion watches help our bodies attract more negative ions which relieves these symptoms.

You can wear them all of the time and you can even wear more than one. Whether you want to decrease your stress levels, relieve body pain, or increase your athletic performance, you can do so in style with an ion watch.

SwissPL Watch Company And Dale “Snort” Snodgrass Join Forces.

September 1st, 2010

Beginning of 2010 was rather busy for Alldaron, having sold the watch company that was started in 2005 by him and his father (Jon D.) to an investor, he formed a new company called SwissPL - which offers private label Swiss timepieces in small quantities for under $1,000 each. This is a unique opportunity to produce an individually customized timepiece made in Switzerland, which till now was completely unheard of. The tradition in Switzerland, dating back a hundred years, demanded that if you wanted to produce your own private label watch by adding your name or company logo to the face then you had to order 300 or even 500 units. What made matters worse is you couldn’t easily find the manufacturing companies, which were a closely guarded secret in Switzerland. This excluded all but wealthy people from making Swiss watches.

For close to 10 years now Alldaron has been involved in the watch industry. Noticing a trend shift from retail to online sales years before the watch industry cared, he formed a Swiss watch company, partnered with his father, to be sold exclusively online in 2005. This was at a time when people said it would never work, they were crazy, they would go bankrupt. A common reply was, “People don’t buy Swiss watches online”. Looks like they were wrong.

Between the years 2005 to 2010, their company sold tens of thousands of watches online, cultivating satisfied customers reflected in the thousands of positive feedbacks they received. Their business approach was on a more personal level trying to focus on customer service over profit. Through this they built lasting friendships with their customers, which created a lot of referral sales. The company was sold in 2010 to an investor.

Alldaron attended the Wings Over Miami Gala event in 2007 where he had the great pleasure of meeting legendary Navy F-14 Tomcat Top Gun pilot and renowned air-show performer Captain Dale “Snort” Snodgrass, or “Snort” as he is called. With over 4900 flight hours and 1200+ carrier landings in the famed Grumman F14 Tomcat, Snort is the most experienced Tomcat pilot in the world and a highly decorated combat veteran. At the end of Desert Storm, he was promoted from Commander to Navy Captain given the honor of commanding all the F-14 Tomcats in the U.S. Navy.

Dale is the only pilot approved to fly in both the U.S. Air Force Heritage Flight Program and the U.S. Navy Legacy Flight Program. Dale and Alldaron had a similar attitude towards business and partnered for a special edition Wings Of Gold watch, which was produced in limited quantity. Throughout the years, they formed a friendship and when Alldaron started SwissPL he contacted Dale, who was immediately on board.

Normally Swiss manufacturers don’t produce single units, but over the years Alldaron, and his father, formed a personal relationship with them which caused them to agree to this unique arrangement, a special partnership, for SwissPL.com - The Swiss manufacturing company has been continuously producing hand-made watches since about 150 years, catering to the needs of some of the world’s top watch brands. They utilize only the best materials and machines, and their watchmakers are seasoned experts. SwissPL’s manufacturing partner makes high quality watches rivaling companies costing thousands more, for a fraction of the cost; they even sell their own line as a recognized luxury brand in Europe, the Middle East and Asia ranging in price from $2,650 to $6,500.

The custom watches offered by SwissPL are 42mm in case size with a 22mm steel Oyster bracelet; being constructed of surgical grade stainless steel alloy, with solid end-pieces, screws in the links (not pins); the clasp has a professional diving extension. The glass is sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment. The numbers and markers on the dial are in Super-Luminova phosphorous (glow in the dark) paint. The watch is pressure tested to 1000 feet (which is 300 meters).

Attending multiple invite-only reunions and military events, Dale and Alldaron are working with U.S. military units from the Navy, Air Force and Army producing custom timepieces for them. Many great partnerships are in store for the near future for the SwissPL.com team including a major racing partnership, and a Hollywood film project.
