2. How to sell watches better?
Ever noticed how
the minute hands and hour hands of some watch brands never touch the edge of the
indicator lines, leaving a space/gap in between? It would be more ergonomic and less
strenuous to the eyes if the hands and indicator lines are aligned.
Looking at the 2 pictures of Rolex and Seiko watches below, i would prefer to buy those
watches if only theminute hands does not cover the "date" indicator. With reference to the
Rolex watch, there are 15 waking hours a day, which means there would be 15 times the
minute hands would reach the 15 minute indicator line; which block the "date" indicator.
Are there any distinctive color contrast between the "minute and hour hands" and the watch
face/background?
I would go a step further to customise my own watch with the above points taken into
consideration, all needed feature and function of the watch must be available to me at a single
glance.

Whether the watch could be used for swimming or rinsing of hands aside, another point i
would consider is as a watch dealer i would like to sell as many watches as possible, but being a
new brand to a market, its hard to fight for market share with the big boys. Having the brand
name printed on the face of the watch may have the opposite effect. Instead of advertising my
watch and showing off to my friends (given a branded watch), i would feel negative if the watch
shows a brand which is not known.
Thus i would print the watch brand at the back of the watch, making it a "brandless" watch on
the face of the watchat first glance. This could potentially spark conversation topics between
my friends and ladies should they be curious about the design of the watch rather than the
brand name.
