...and this watch is approved by P.T. Barnum.
To hell with the hoi polloi and their envy.
This is a classy-looking product and most likely selling well if they're adding cities and additional bands and colors.
I really would like to know what Edition sales have been—probably higher than anyone might suspect.
Can't wait until they're available at Target!
