Ouch is right. But, the joy of being Gen Next! Good grief. Petty aggravations or serious issues? I couldn't read it all as Facebook was beckoning me.

Oh well, probably won't be too many deciding on this route to get to ownership, no doubt. Still, welcome to the 21st century.

Well, looks like he's right
the online shopping experience isnt all that smooth

A review like that really does dispprove the concept that the only thing worse than bad publicity is no publicity......

I assume the development work was outsourced, but clearly vendor selection was questionable at best and the approval process for the final product appears non existent. Clearly this wasn't ready for launch and let's hop Breitling respond quickly.

Oh dear. Not very good feedback then. The thing is, how difficult can it be to set up a decent online store? Particularly for so-called professionals. I run an online store through eCommerce software from 1&1 and I learned very early on to keep things simple. In fact, the software provided by 1&1 makes the whole process really easy and looks great. Sadly, Breitling seem to have completely over-complicated this. Perhaps they'll catch on quickly and get it sorted.

It's definitely a starting point for the whole industry that I am sure will be refined. I can see the appeal though they should make money from the website and there is a fine line by not making it too good and competing with ADs.
