It only work if they have a UV torch.
We have a new leader in the dumbest watch presenter stakes today, Jessie "Densa" Edwards has taken a short lead over Janice & Emma who are tied in second place.
So to the absolute farcical drivel from one half of IW’s renowned dumb (Janice) & dumber(Jessie) horsesh*t spouting comic duo.
Jessie “I’m so F****** dumb” Edwards, flogging a JDM watch – “Jacques Cousteau, whose name is behind these, because these are professional diving watches, is one of the forerunner, rather forefathers of diving, his exploratory work was made into movies, he was famous, he was a French guy and he was super famous in that world of oceanography and his estate are the ones who make these watches.”
A bit later - "Jacques Du Manoir, as i said are the baby of, as it were, of that wonderful diver, Jacques Cousteau."
Yeah, JDM (Jacques Du Manoir) diving watches must be made by Jacques Cousteau's estate, why, because they are both called Jacques and he was a famous diver.
That’s just as bad as when IW claimed Shield diving watches had Jacques Cousteau's approval, reason for that claim was because Shield has an old quote made by Jacques Cousteau on their web site, a quote which was about Man & Diving and had sod all to do with Shield watches itself.
Still it was amazing Jacques Cousteau was able to approve of a watch range when he died 15 years before the Shield brand even existed.

Unless you buy from Amazon and get 24x AA and 16xAAA for £13.59 with free p&p with next day delivery. Just saying. IW delivery is 5-7 working days and £2.99 delivery (£4.99 is you order more than 1 pack).
He isnt asked to present this. The other evening he said he chose to present thisYou spoke to soon Muttley.look at the state of it.
Its probably bankrupt stock they are buying
Does this mean he was thrown out by Ali or that his backstory is similar to Pedro - random names thrown out there to make the viewers relate to him?
Wing Commander Knowles is now on mopping a floor!
Aren't mops old technology? Didn't Peter Vandehepa and Of-the-Masons tell us PVA mops were a "game changer".
You could probably give him a bit of leeway if he got some technical detail/description wrong or mixed up, but there is absolutely no excuse for the utter fabricated nonsense he spouted last night. Whether a person knows or doesn't know about watches is immaterial, there is no reason why anybody would use Jacques Cousteau's name in conjunction with JDM Military range of watches.
Well he shouldn't be working on a retail shopping channel if he's not prepared to do the prep required to present watch shows.
"The presenter's primary role is to present and demonstrate products, highlighting their features, benefits, and uses to potential customers.
Ultimately, the goal is to persuade viewers to make purchases, so presenters need to be persuasive and knowledgeable about the products they are showcasing."

If they're selling watches then I would expect to be able to explain the specifications accurately and clearly. The staff should be given training to ensure they're not talking rubbish through genuine ignorance of the subject.
Edit : Hammy, you beat me to it with your answer.
Come on folks - it's all about sales.
They'll say anything to get a sale.
Not only is it this, not only is it that, not only do they do this, not only do they do that.
Fake price comparisons, claims you must insure blankets, breakdown fairy stories, thousands of pounds discounts.
It's just a game to them

I thought that too, Samki. Put him in a black cloak with a red lining and he’d have made a pretty convincing Dracula!Has torchy dyed his hair? It looks like a Lego wig
(although not sure if Bram Stoker’s guy ever sported a slimming belt and a frequently- flashed six pack
)Nancy is his gardener
I'm sure he's not a bad person at heart and he needs to make a crust so to speak.
But using his likeableness to add gravitas to the general (and often overpriced) crap they attempt to sell on IW is cynical at best.
How do you Nancy is his gardener btw?
Bit random?
When he was selling his garden hose. He mentioned Nancy the Gardener
