| 0:29.2 | Hey it's me James Stacy and today we're asking a relatively straightforward question should you give a watch as a gift? Given the onset of the gift-giving season it's a topic that has come up more |
| 0:35.7 | than a few times around the water cooler, aka Slack, and it's one of those quandaries that doesn't exactly |
