Median and middle 50% of account-level average order values. Each account value is purchase ROAS multiplied by cost per purchase in USD.

## Research questions

### Why does watch movement type matter to an operating demonstration?

Seiko's analogue-watch instructions distinguish quartz and mechanical types and provide caliber-specific operating directions, including automatic winding for listed mechanical movements. A demonstration should identify the movement and model it shows. These instructions do not establish that every watch has the same winding behavior or accuracy.

### What is the product explanation behind light-powered watch creative?

Citizen describes Eco-Drive as converting natural or artificial light into power stored in a cell. A creative can explain that mechanism while naming the exact model and its instructions. Light-powered technology is not a promise that every watch operates indefinitely without charging, care or service.

### Why is a water-resistance rating different from an unrestricted swimming promise?

Casio explains that meter ratings represent test pressure and that movement in water can create additional pressure; seals also age. Watch creative should match the model's published use guidance rather than imply unlimited waterproof performance from a depth number. The source is general product context, not a test of a particular watch.

### Can one maintenance interval represent every premium timepiece?

The cited OMEGA model manual says servicing needs depend on the model, climate and owner's care. A premium-watch offer can make aftercare part of the consideration journey and point to the actual manual. This model-specific document does not establish a universal service schedule, warranty or ownership cost for the whole category.
