Focus Group Schmocus Group

Reasons why I will never be in a focus group:

TV ad:

It's not your clothes...
it's not your neighborhood...
it's not your car.

It's your watch that tells the most about who you are.

So, if you've met me in RL, and you can't remember what kind of watch I was wearing, does that mean about what you know about me? And if I was wearing the 'wrong' watch, do you have to defriend me now? What if I wasn't wearing any watch at all?

Oh, and if you wear the advertised watch? Does that mean you're some loser who thinks your character is best expressed by wearing some stupid watch? What if you bought it before the commercial aired?

Buy the watch? Why? Is it a good watch?

Heh. The only time I ever take off my watch is when I shower. And back in high school, when I wore a cheap waterproof digital watch, I often didn't even do that. What does that say about me? Especially since it doesn't seem to have much effect on my punctuality?

So I don't think it's what kind of watch you're wearing that matters, but how you wear your watch and how you deal with time. *shrugs* Probably put more thought put into that than the TV ad deserved. Heh.

I have a whole slew of watches that I used to rotate depending on what I was wearing when I was working. Now I never wear one at home, and I have a couple favorites for when I go out somewhere.

What I want to know is who sees this ad and thinks "OMG! I must have that watch because then the cool people will want to know me!!" Because that response is never, ever the first thing I think.
