But from what I see of their watches, I'm not anticipating much from that effort. Maybe the bikes and other products will compensate. Why? The watches are all sold out. They were all available a few weeks ago when I first heard of them. Design has a nice appeal, I think they'll sell fine. Overpriced for sure, but they're selling an aesthetic in addition to the watch. |

And the brand would keep, for me, recalling the old saying, "You don't know sh*t from Shinola.") |

I like 'em... Turns out it's the founder of Fossil, who is the owner of this new company.  |
