Having previously purchased 3 Timefactors Smiths watches I was aware of the challenges and practiced diligently.
All necessary card details were cached and my calesthetic training regime means my fingers were like lightening bolts.
All was going well. I was on the ball when the store became live and threw a gilt PRS25 into my basket. Having previously logged on, my shipping details were ready and waiting for payment.
And that’s were I fell flat. Bl@@dy Barclaycard insisted I authenticate via the phone app, but I was ready for that, and already logged in.
Back to the store at 14.01:15 and the watches were sold out.

What’s the point? Eddie, you should change this for Smiths collectors. It’s madness as it is.

Cheers
Steve
