I didn't see this. How did it play out? Who brought Amazon up? What was the context? Please tell me moreOwn up, who emailed in telling Bordell that Duxot are also available on Amazon?
We’ve had an email in said Shaun looking hesitant. It said you can buy Duxot watches elsewhere and he said you can, at the forest, I think he said, meaning Amazon. The pair of them laughed and said they are hundreds more there than what IW sell at.I didn't see this. How did it play out? Who brought Amazon up? What was the context? Please tell me more
They’ve got the biker chic model on wearing a one size fits all Sugar Crisp dress. It looks like a tent on her but she doesn’t know which colour to go for
I would hazard a guess, if you look in the mirror, none
Would probably make a decent pair of curtains actuallyMaybe she's going to make curtains out of them.
It's funny how every bit of clothing on IW, according to the presenters (even the men) and models, is incredible, super, gorgeous, beautiful, has a top designer look, would find in any top boutique, should be many times the price, when in reality look like something you'd get in Primark or ASDA, oh and they've all bought them for themselves and every member of their family.
I don’t know why they don’t adopt that in their selling spiel. How can a garment fit from size 10-22 and look anything other than too big if you’re on the small size?
I heard that too (about seeing Simplify in a very high end watch retailer’s window). My first thought was of my local high street. We have a jeweller on one side, and a market ground opposite, which does a second-hand ‘flea’ market on Tuesdays (or did).I see Shaun's doing his best to scratch the watches again.
Shaun - "you can tell that is worth every pound of that 875"
Emma - " and more, a lot more, this is easily a watch you'd see in a very high end watch retailers windows."
Emma doesn't half spout some rubbish.
Exactly. Again, stop and engage the brain. They say 'should be selling for hundreds more ... should see these in high end retailers' blah blah blah, so why don't we see them on sale for hundreds more in high end retailers?!?I see Shaun's doing his best to scratch the watches again.

Let's face it, at the end of the day they're selly telly talking heads. Switch them on and off they go. They could be selling a £9.99 product or a £9,999,99 product and their excitement/bullsh1t levels are pretty constant. It's what they're paid to do.And that would be a huuuuge rabbit hole.
And your assessment of Simplify is bang on.
A wee bit of exaggeration is fine, but when Emma and IW get going, it's well beyond exaggeration.
The watch in question that was £875 RRP, which Shaun said worth every pound of £875 and Emma said should be a lot, lot more, and could easily see in a high end jewelers window, was selling for £169, has the Hangzhou 2189 movement inside, that’s based on an older Seiko movement, and approx £20 retail from Ali, so not an expensive movement but not a dirt cheap £5 movement either. It has quite a solid looking bracelet, with sold end links, and a decent Stainless Steel case with display back, so all in all, £169 sound about right, probably just on the dear side, comparing it with other fashion type brands they would be up against, not my type of watch but if it was i would be looking to find it cheaper and most definitely wouldn't be paying more than £169. Not sure what their quality control is like, so could be a big negative if it's poor.
So Shaun saying it's worth every pound of £875, Emma says should be a lot, lot more, means either they are very ignorant on watches or they are deliberately trying to deceive viewers. Personally i see it as a bit of both in Shaun's case, probably more ignorant than he realises and then is easily led to believe the rubbish about quality and RRPs he's fed from guests and his earpiece, but in Emma's case, where she's claiming to have this expert and in depth knowledge of watches and the watch industry, then while she's pretty ignorant (actually comes across as very), her main emphasis is on being deceitful, she's up there at the top for the crown of the most crooked guest on IW, and given the amount of liars they have that's some going.
Although it's funny listening to their garbage, it's also sad that there will be a lot of folks who will fall for the garbage, and to be honest, I'm mystified how such a deceitful person is allowed on a National TV channel and can openly con/lie to viewers and nobody in authority, whether that's OFCOM or ASA etc, seems to give a damn. It's really is disgraceful that this is allowed to happen.
OK end of Rant.

Could anyone do it (talk for hours about different products)? No. In that respect they do what is required of selly telly presenters, some of them better than others. And I don't doubt it's sometimes more difficult than it looks (god I've to talk for 45 mins about a £39.99 fan.)
Having said all that, it doesn't excuse the garbage they spout, although you do have to wonder to what extent they're encouraged to do so by their superiors. If the £££ is rolling in, I doubt taking a moralistic approach is high on the agenda
I'm saying this all jokes aside, it is kind of like a market of old, when you walked along and heard men/women bellowing from each stall '3 FOR A TENNER!!' ... 'THEY HAVE THE VERY SAME DISHCLOTHS IN BUCKINGHAM PALACE MADAM!!'
That's IW. I wonder if they're proud of that?
