    Recently they've been pushing Openpay like crazy, to the extent of telling viewers about it every few minutes. On a fashion show, I didn't have to watch long before the presenter said that you can "get more payments" with Openpay before a swift retraction when she realised that the number of...

    They expect you to swallow their claims for their products and not question what you see with your own eyes; when I saw a closeup of Protocol James (for example) he looked every inch like a forty-something bloke wearing makeup, but if you believed the claims he was making, his product could...

    Mike tonight repeatedly asking his 'producer' how many watches will be left if everyone checked out their baskets; the answer is repeatedly either '1' or '0' yet he still reminds people about stock levels minutes after he says this...I wonder why? :) More than one very expensive watch (by IW...

    The product is most likely also available under another brand name and Ideal World would pay the owners of the Beldray brand a sum of money to enable them (IW) to exclusively sell a particular product using the Beldray name (which they now also do with those ceramic radiators I think). Another...

    Also on the subject of Mike and his vanishing Vostok(s), tonight he said something about having 4 Vostok watches, but then he was talking about the watch being sold and used the word 'had', implying the past tense for that particular type of watch. So if he actually did own one but then sold or...

    In some cases it could just be the same company/supplier but using different names, as with Green Energy/Warm Home/Beldray/god knows what else for the ceramic rip-off radiators that may feature slightly different specifications (eg. with or without wi-fi) for what looks like exactly the same...

    Yes I'm watching these watches with exactly the same questions going through my head, namely potential trouble with airport security and a very bright dial light but no hands illumination, etc., and it's basically the same cheap quartz movement in all of them. The yellow plastic ones in...

    I think they were selling an EARNSHA a while back so it wouldn't be the first time that has happened. Also a detached watch hand reminded me of the bad old days of the Bid TV channel when they also showed a watch with the same fault. Quality control at its finest (y)

    They devoted at least half of yesterday evening's show to this product so they must sell a few of them to do that. Also there were heavily-overpriced bonded leather lumps at equally ludicrous prices even with their 'discount' (I mean "Sofa Collection Price" - who are they trying to kid?); I...

    There are a few 'bargains' on Ideal World or at least some items with a true value close to the IW purchase price, but also a fair number of products like those Swan & Edgar watches that are only really worth a single flexi payment, meaning that they don't lose out on much if someone can't keep...

    Sally Jacks tonight when referring to a hardfloor cleaner's stock level: "We have called limited before now but we found more stock" (can be heard here at 38:37). YEAH, WHATEVER Then it was Shaun selling long-defunct therefore fake department store-branded watches with fake 'British' design...

    Random musings and general banter.

    Last time I saw them selling the bonded leather lumps they never once mentioned the words 'leather' or 'bonded', but at the same time on-screen they were also promoting a "Leather Care Kit"...or in other words, heavily implying that they were selling real leather furniture even though they...

    Used to like watching the electric bikes but now they're so repetitive; it's usually someone going round and round the Ideal World garden, Tim lifting up the bike whilst turning pedals to show a wheel spinning frantically, Tim showing viewers how to fold the bike and/or putting it in the back of...

    I actually quite liked the look of some of the Duxot watches they were selling, but the inflated fake 'RRP' prices are about as attractive as saying "As worn by Jimmy Savile", not to mention the unnamed movements (if it was something like ETA they would be mentioning that every 30 seconds) and...

    Not that keen on Greg Wallace personally but he's still better than Mike Mason, though Mason is merely employed as an overconfident salesman adept at shilling stuff and would be easily out of his depth on one of the main TV channels.

    https://www.idealworld.tv/gb/pp/swan-edgar-gent-s-city-timer-automatic-date-watch-with-genuine-leather-strap-499367 Even some of the 4-star reviews are less than flattering: "Loses time even throughout the day when worn. Marketing material says comes with gift. This isn't true. Bad result"...

    With at least some of the Huawei phones it may be possible to get the Google Play Store/services working (details can be found elsewhere online) with a bit of fiddling but of course that requires some tech savviness which many Ideal World viewers may not possess, though some users may actually...

    For my sins I was yesterday watching part of Peter Simon's sales pitch for the Swan & Edgar 'Time Guarder' watch with its truly ludicrous and so-obviously-fake backstory (who comes up with all this nonsensical rubbish about British soldiers and the Blitz, etc., obviously designed for the Daily...

    When I was watching last night, Mike was being extremely aggressive with his sales pitch, continually repeating that watches were about to sell out as well as telling people to get on the phone because they could poach one of the remaining watches off a web buyer who hadn't checked out their...

    Peter Simon and the, erm, 'expert' were predictably talking their usual load of carp tonight about things such as 'racing heritage' with colours such as "Brunswick Green", and yes they had 'sold out' of the gold but then after a pause Peter announced that four had somehow magically 'bounced...
