Steam presses are the best, do away with your irons they said.
Separate generator irons are the best, do away with your on-board generator irons they said.
Now we're told a £20 iron is a cracking little product.

I watched a couple of YouTube vids the other day, guys reviewing Swan & Edgar watches that I think the company had sent them. Both of them said the watches were decent enough for the price point (note by that I don't mean the inflated RRPIt's all about sales, the faster the better, more haste more sales, very little to do with customer service and satisfaction. Remember unlike retail shops, the folks on IW shows will never have to deal with customers or their dissatisfaction, IW have another dept for annoying even more unhappy customers, sorry meant they happily and satisfactorily resolving customer complaints.
Yeah, it's all to vague on the watch shows, Reynolds is better than most as he'll give you enough technical details to make a fair judgement of the watches on show, but for most of the rest, they are very sparing in details. Most of the time, most of them won't tell you what movement (make and country of origin) is in the watch, some are very scant with details on the dimensions of the watches, no details of who or where the watches are made although we are given irrelevant history & heritage stories, but one overriding theme emerges, that there is a real effort made to hide the involvement of China/Chinese watchmakers. Most of the time you are only shown the face of the watch, when a proper 360 viewing would be far better, and even when they do show the back or side of the watch it's usually just for a couple of seconds.
The last time I bought a watch in my favourite jeweler, was in there approx 45 minutes to hour, had a few in mind, but wanted to see them close up before deciding which one. The sales folk were brilliant, very professional, knew what they were selling, spent as much time with you as you needed, they were obviously watch lovers themselves. Contrast that with IW, which in effect is a pantomime show in comparison.
) however no info had been provided as to the origins of the movement. One reviewer said something like 'I'm sure if it (the movement) was Swiss or maybe German they'd be shouting about it, so I'll assume it's Chinese.'Yeah I've caught some of his recent shows and the phrase 'going through the motions' definitely springs to mind. Simon the cleaning guru said to him on a recent show 'pick one of these for me to use Mike' meaning a competitors product, Mike just replied 'nah it's ok, you choose' came across as though he was thinking 'boooooring.'
I use Amazon a fair bit. I like the convenience and range of stuff I can buy without having to visit a store. If they're not paying all the taxes they should, that's a failure of governments as much as the company if you ask me.

I recently purchased a Duxot watch from your selves after seeing it on my tv, when it was delivered to me and I unpacked it. I found the second pointer lying in the bottom of the face. Totally dislodged from the shaft. After the initial disappointment, I found it a little amusing as I remembered watching an earlier screened show of yours and the same thing happened to a watch live on air. At which point the presenter said don’t worry, these are not the actual watch you would receive if you purchased one???. Also I fail to be amused by the 13 pence per minute charge to phone ideal world to inform you of the fault on my purchase.
Ah -Duxot - this is the brand Peter Simon was fraudulently passing off as Swiss, saying '.... the Swiss family must be heartbroken to see the prices we are selling these at tonight !'Says it all really. review on trustpilot.

I caught 2 mins of a bike show earlier this evening, I can't manage more as they hold zero interest for me, not bikes as such but IW shows of them.Have the ebikes not sold out yet? Thought they were going to sell out last night and definitely be gone this morning, or maybe i'm not hearing the presenters correctly with their stock updates.
