Oh No!

The Watchmeister watches watches!

You just sit down at the kitchen table for dinner. Since you normally don’t look at the seat cushion anyway, you didn’t today either. As soon as your behind hits the cushion, you hear a very loud crack! You jump up because it came from under you. There is your wristwatch totally crushed. The watch you had taken off a little earlier and set down on the kitchen table when you went to rinse your hands off at the kitchen sink. It had somehow managed to slide off the table and onto your chair where it is now a nice tiny pile of scrap parts, with a tiny battery in the middle of the pile.  Into the trash it goes, you sit back down to dinner figuring you will go to the mall after dinner to buy a new watch. It had just started a mild sleet storm when you got home from work earlier. You turned on the radio in the kitchen to hear what was going on. The first thing on the news, the sleet storm had downed power lines near you, the mall was in the area with no power and was closed, no estimate of time to restore power. Disgusted, you went into your den after dinner and flipped on the computer. You start surfing for watch sellers on line, as you get to each one, they all look the same. Then you get to one with a tag line, “nobody beats us,” this is interesting. You start to look at the site. You see a whole bunch of little boxes with the logo’s of all the different watch companies whose merchandise this seller carried. There were brands there that you had never heard of, and some had odd names.  You also see a blog from a guy calling himself the Watchmeister and he says that he watches watches, whatever that means. You read his article, it was about one of the brands carried by this company. Near the end of the article, your eyes get wider and you do a double take and re read that paragraph. “over 125 different brands and several thousand watches to choose from and you can make THEM an offer of how much you wanted to pay.” You had never seen that before, you look at the top paragraph again, nice blue color, Kenmar Watches, 100% customer satisfaction guaranteed. So you start looking at watches. There are so many here it is hard to decide. Then you happen to glance at the prices, the low prices. You decide right then to get new watches for the whole family, the weather outside is rotten so everyone is home. You walk to the door to your den and call the family down. Everyone races to your den because you sounded so excited! You bring the family into the den, you tell each of them to pick out two watches from the Kenmar site. After listening to oohs and aahs for almost an hour while the family picked out their two watches each, you finally pick out your two watches. You go to checkout, you figure eight watches will be a lot of money even for Kenmar. At the checkout, the total is much lower than you had imagined. You place the order and print everything up. The last thing you do before leaving the Kenmar site is add them to your favorites. After all, Christmas was only eleven months away! And you wanted to make absolutely sure that you remembered www.KenmarWatches.com! The prices were just right!

Heed the Watchmeister, he watches watches!
