Didn't Zenith make (maybe they still do?) make TV and electronics?
Different company but, strangely enough, the Zenith that made TVs owned Zenith watches for a brief time in the 1970s.
This is exactly the problem. I connote the name with home electronics.
For me, it’d be like purchasing a Sanyo watch.
I just can’t dissociate the Zenith name from home electronics. As a result, I could never buy a Zenith watch.
That’s when Zenith TV was at their zenith
Zing!
It’s a different company but consumer electronics is where my head goes first when I hear Zenith.
This is the problem. If you can’t even distinguish the company from a tv company, that’s an issue.
Many companies make many products. It's not out of the realm of possibility, especially in the 80s, that an electronic company would also make quartz watches.
As it is, I never heard of Zenith watches until maybe the last year. I have decades of Zenith selling TVs and radios in my head.
No I don’t mean that it’s an issue with you, it’s an issue that Zenith should be doing better marketing!
