    Great idea but I don't see how you can substitute physically handling a purchase like a watch.

    A bit pointless as they send you watches on a try at home basis anyway.

    i do that using sc :shock: in the last 3 months, a speedy date, an oris tt1 chrono, an oris mark webber chrono, a glycine lagunare chrono, and now an seamaster bond quartz have all come in , not been "the one" and been back into sc. the search goes on. maybe i sould have a "flipper" rating instead of flash.... :? out of the all, the oris tt1 chrono is the one i shall miss, but at the time i thought i was going to have a massive heating repair bill so it went...sniff.....

    It's not for me, but I like the idea of using technology in this way. If it helps some people then good luck to them.

    regards,
    Nick

    It's a cracking idea, and one that I fully intend to explore! Just waiting for the Oktopus...

    I have this App. It's not the same thing. The IWC app is just a picture of the watch that you superimpose on a camera shot of your wrist to make one photo (and hope the watch is in proportion to your wrist). The Jura thing is full-on Augmented Reality and the watch size is in proportion to your wrist - very cool! 8)

    A few years ago Oris printed out life-size cut-outs of a chronograph in magazines; you just tore it out and strapped it on. Didn't need an iPhone.

    Also one can achieve much the same thing at home using a printer. Add cardboard to approximate thickness.
    ...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!

    Agreed. Just thought I'd mention it!

    Jura one is interesting. Two things to note:

    1 - you're meant to print off and cut out a paper marker to get it to work properly - although it just about works without.

    2 - the picture they use of the ALT1-C is the prototype, with black date wheel and the strap that never was. Hey ho.

    Still quite cool tech tho.

    PS - one of the best augmented reality apps is the Pocket Universe. D/l it to your 3GS. Hold it up to the night sky. Voila. It overlays the stars. Genius.

    Very flash technically - but hardly compares to the real thing.

    You have to e-wind your iWatch, the "power reserve" indicator says 11% :D
    The time on Precista is 10:09 and the photo was taken on 10:08 thus the ideal time to take a watch photo :shock:
