Timex is already producing a watch for people that go on expeditions. But, if it manufactures a watch especially for golfers, similar to Tag Heuer’s new professional golf watch – it is sure to increase its revenues. After all, countless golfers are wealthy males who would be willing to pay a high price for a professional golf watch from Timex. If Timex designs a golfer’s watch with benefits similar to Tag Heuer’s light and wrist-friendly golf watch, and sells it for a price lower than that of Tag Heuer’s golf watch, many of the latter’s potential customers would turn to Timex instead.
Indeed, a golf watch by Timex would prove to be a highly profitable product. Moreover, it would allow Timex to enter a new market – that of wealthy golfers, who would be willing to turn to Timex time and again.
