      I’m not sure most of the people I know have more than 50 facts in their heads.

    Remember when ads had several paragraphs in small print and everybody read them because there was nothing else to do.

      and detailed information about the products instead of just a list of vague bullet points that really don’t tell you anything so you have to scour the internet to find out if the thing will actually work for what you want or not.

      You assume that’s his arm.

        Fair rebuttal; we’re meant to infer the left-side hand pointing at the watch belongs to the same model of the right-side arm that’s wearing the watch. Admittedly, this is an assumption based on insufficient data. It’s not impossible that the finger-pointing left hand and the watch-wearing right wrist are owned by two different models.

        That doesn’t change the fact that the watch is worn on a right-arm wrist in an orientation that would show it as upside down to a right-arm wrist owner.

            Counter counter that it’s intentional due to the built in 8-digit calculator. 58008 and its kin.

          the fact that the watch is worn on a right-arm wrist

          Are we sure about this? I’ve looked at it for a while now, and I can kind of believe either. Where would the thumb be?

    And to think yesterday I added 1 trillion additional bytes of storage to my computer for the same purchasing power as that watch cost when it was new. What a time to be alive.

      But did you put 50 things from your head in it?

        Error. My head does not contain 50 unique things.

    Wow, I don’t know if I have ever seen an uglier advertisement… And I lived through the 90s Sunny D campaign.

      I love it. It’s like a dollar store Dali knock off.
