Ticking along smoothly like a swiss watch.

Good so far this year!

do you think this is a good time for new wrist watch company to join the industry and why?

[aerome]

If it were my cash, I'd say NO unless you were meeting a specific niche! IOW, where to you want to go? What market do you want to appeal to? I think that would be a more appropriate question and after answering that would the return be worth the trouble ($ and time investment)?

Since the articles I've been reading indicate the industry is down, unless you can come up with a kick-ass marketing program, you may be swimming against the tide.

But please don't let my caution deter you from taking a shot, that's what the dream is all about.

idk if your fimiliar with Nixon,Vestal, or Casio GShock but im targeting that market... are u fimiliar with that industry?

[aerome]

Only familiar with Casio, but I had a look. Easier to sell to the masses than the WIS's, and the hardware is easy. The sales and marketing is where you need to be strong. The name needs to be on everyone's lips, the units available and the customer service outstanding. Good luck.

Thanks you Aerome A for your wisdom, but wut did u mean by selling tho the masses than WIS's? "WIS"?...
