TIMEX-out those last changes....

Ok so the last time I was on the timex site I liked it. The minor holiday makover leaves someethign wanted and jumbles and confuses the design. I say if you are gonna go holiday on your site, go all in, ALL IN!!!!!!!!!!! But the site does a good job of communicating aklot and delivering alot of content without overwhelming the viewer. The site is broken down nicely into different sections for the sub brans all with a consitency yet also an identity of their own. Good job timex!

Audemars Piguet.......

This site ain't too shabby the images are nice, but things are kinda big. It takes a while to load and the background color well it makes me want to vomit. Anyway it's an ok site but could use anew color scheme and better load time.

what the PATEK?

The Patek Philippe website is umm interesting another let down form a high end luxury brand. The website has nice styled navigation but it lacks some over all stule and appeal it is like a flash version of a simple site it might have even be a template or something. I dunno something just doesn;t sit well with me. I do like the the zoom and descriptive view of the items. the attached image is of the zoom view.

CITIZen rock garden.....

Well ok maybe not toal zen but this site is pretty nice. It has a simple elegant design that really gives the brand the clout it deserves. Yeah it's just nice!!

GUESS what!?!?!? This site stinks!

Yeah guess was a severe let down..... The site has 2 actual pages and a 5meg 15 page PDF catalog you have to download the whole *****in thing before you can look at any of their watches. I would have tyo say at this point it is the biggest let down of all the watch sites I have looked at..... blarg!

NIX-ON!!!

Now here is some snazzzy web design! This site has nice smotth features and again does a good job of using the white space to offset the graphics. I do have one simple complaint right out of the gate..... I can't see the whole homepage on my screen, I caould understand this dilema were I running a wicked high 800x600 screen resolution but I am not. I don;t mind the need to scroll on the catalog pages and such but I would like to be able to see the whole homepage without working for it!!!!! Oh well I must say it is a slick site besides who c an argue with a watch company with over 38,000 myspace friends. =)

KENNETH COoooohhhhhL!

I really like this site for it's simplicity. I have criticized sites for this before but in this case it does well to represent the brand and doesn;t come from a lack of creativity or anythign better to but in that big white space you call a website. The site identifies the brand very well and uses the "clean" white space very well as an impact for it's product! Me likey. I think making a big white site visualy pleasing can be more difficult than making cool banner and graphics to fill the screen.

Tourneau????

OK wow I would not repeat not buy a $58,000 watch from this website, it just ain't happening. This is a crazy high end company and their website is majorly blah! I don;t need it to sing and dance and do my laundry or anythign but at least be a little more astecticaly (i'm sure i mispelled that) pleasing. It doesn't represent the elegance or luxury of the brand at all. I dont like the left justification of the page and I am amazed how many companies and sites still do that! I'm a very not impressed!

Ahhhh SchKAGEN!!!

Well that was uh dissapointing at best...... You would think a major watch manufacturer would have a functioning website of some kind while they are updating, ummmmm NO! try back later so I will try back later to come up with an actual review of this site. Maybe...... ok I won;t I will just be forever bitter about the site being down and worthless!!!!!

Seikooooooooh

Well seiko is not too shabby. The site is clean and elegant and does a good job showcasing the watches and trhe brands integrity, it is however kinda clunky, although I am not sure I can makee a fair judgement of that based off of Provo College interent sppeds. I dig this site!

SWISS uh unLEGENDary

So yeah I saw some swiss legend watches and I was unimpressed and then I looked at their website and I was further unimpressed the site looks pretty ridiculous the naqvigation is nauesiating and the the buttons look like the were made in uhh like a really lame program........ yeah not impressed at all, i would certainly not be inspired to spend $800 on a watch after seeing this site.

The Fossil Of It All

Fossil clean and simple and effective it displays the product and the brand identity in a simple straightforward way it might benefit from some bells or even a few whistles but all in al lit get's a not-too-shabby from this blogger.

Crystal Fit-ing Navigation....

This site is nice and simple and clean but I absolutely love the navigation!!!!! It is just simply nestled in the upper corner the options follow the outer rim of a clock face and the minute hand snaps to whichever category you choose. It is very fitting for a watch part company and done quite sweetly!
