This is something we are all guilty of - and I'll show my transgression to the world:

Here is an early example of my watch shooting. I took a lot of care in setting up the shot, getting the right "ambiance", making sure the watches were spotless, and then taking a dozen or so test shots.

But, never in my preparations, did I think to make sure the two watches were synchronized in time.

Multi-watch pics are extremely hard to do because of the plethora of angles and reflections. The first thing folks will see, though, will be the time on the watches. If they are different, the picture is incomplete, and all your preparation and effort will be diminished.

Remember, "Synchronize those Watches!!"

Good point Pat - multi watch photos can be VERY difficult. I'm almost to the point whereI'd rather Photoshop two different watch photos into one, than take a picture of two watches together.

the time's in synch... well nearly .....

I guess the only true way to ensure synchronisation is to hack the movements - but that blows any time trial participation going on other fora
