Move over Dr. Rick. Step aside Flo. Jamie can ride his motorbike off into the sunset. There’s a new spokesperson spokesbird commercial flying into our homes (not flying into windows, thankfully). Actually it’s a pair of pigeons becoming our brand new feathery friends. Progressive is following up their pigeon flys south commercial with the celebrity voiced-creatures chatting about smartwatches. Take a look then scroll down for more…
The Voices. By now you probably know the voices of these two birds are that of H. Jon Benjamin and Retta. Now that there are 3 ads in the series (I saw another one about donuts recently), I think we can expect more commercials starring these two funny pigeons.
Lefty or Righty. Have you ever noticed on which arm people wear their watches? The person walking by wearing a smartwatch has the watch on the left wrist.
In this post, I dive into how to tell whether a person is left- or right-handed and part of it has to do with watches. Check out that post and let me know if you agree. These birds have a hurdle to jump for smartwatches and it’s this: Where will they wear it? Around a wing? That’s cumbersome and they might have trouble flying. Around their neck? It would be tough to see the screen.
But Which Watch? Do you have a favorite brand of smartwatch? Brands like Apple, Garmin, Samsung, and Fitbit all have their nice features but I’d go with a Garmin. I have two and I love them. My first was the Vivoactiv HR and then I bought the Forerunner 245 Music so I can download songs right to the watch and listen while I run. In case the birds read this and check the comments, leave your thoughts below on which smartwatch they should be looking for! For $750, I’d go with this red Garmin Forerunner 745. Hot tamale! Yeeyeeyeee!!
