That's not a watch. That's jewelry that happens to have a clock built in.
 
And yes, the people selling it tell you this. "The average kitchen has ei

clocks in it. We sell jewelry and home decor."

Probably not in a suit store. In wal-mart? Most certainly.

Yes. Amazing how many body shops are out there for web stuff compared to 

(say) automobile design. I guess if your business isn't primarily done ov
er 
the web, you hire a web designer, just like you'd hire a plumber to fix t
he 
pipes in your building. But if your business is internet-based, it's sill
y 
not to have that expertise working in your own best interest.
