Best Practices

• •Embrace "Purpose-Built, Vintage-Inspired, Ready for Adventure": Let this tagline be a guiding principle. Every piece of copy should, in some way, reflect one or more of these core attributes. Is it functional? Does it have a classic appeal? Does it inspire a sense of readiness?
• •Speak the Language of Watch Enthusiasts (Authentically): Use correct terminology (e.g., "Miyota movement," "BGW9 Super-LumiNova," "lug-to-lug") accurately and confidently, but avoid overly technical jargon where simpler terms can convey the message to a broader audience. Showcase your knowledge without being exclusionary.
• •Highlight Value Through Quality, Not Just Price: Instead of just saying "affordable," emphasize the "premium components," "in-house assembly," and "thoughtful design" that deliver exceptional value *for* the price. Let the quality justify the accessible cost.
• •Maintain an Enthusiastic and Slightly Adventurous Spirit: Infuse copy with a sense of excitement for exploration and the appreciation of well-made objects. Use active voice and evocative language that paints a picture of the watch in action or highlights its design story.
• •Be Honest and Transparent: Reflect the brand’s commitment to "honest pricing" and customer focus in your communication. Be straightforward about what the watches offer. If addressing customer service or warranty, maintain a helpful and approachable tone.
