Hey (aptly-named) Hurricaneman

Frankly, I can't figure what they are doing with the watches. On the web the watch appears to be a cheap plastic trinket of the throwaway variety.

Even with a sub-licensed World Cup logo I feel it would be really stretching things to try and sell this at a price above $15

Check eBay for World Cup items and you will find thousands listed from past events and participating countries, plus a few current items. Some decent stuff is quite inexpensive.

These watches, with or without logos, are available from China by the thousands and can be produced by another boatload on demand just by keeping the kiddies chained to the machines for a few extra hours each day.

It took about 30 seconds to find this one on the web - look familiar?:

I don't really see Capstone gaining much recognition from this promotion unless they are recognized in some of the printed programs or other World Cup promotional material as a supplier

I'm hoping that oceang1, who is far more knowledgeable on the subject than I, will weigh in with some additional, more specific, answers to your questions.

Glad Andrea seems to have passed you by!
