• NOTES:  When filling out the survey, you may come across some blank pages or pages with no questions after clicking one of the "Next Page" buttons. If you do, that's fine. Just continue clicking "Next Page" until you see the "Submit" button. Click "Submit" and you'll see a message that says something similar to: "Thank you. Your response has been processed successfully".  That means that we have received your survey responses. If it appears that you might be a candidate then we will call you to verify your responses and ask you some additional screening questions in order to complete the screening process and determine if you qualify.  Please note that simply filling out the survey does NOT automatically qualify you for  the study.  Due to a potential high volume of responses we may only be able to respond to those who appear to be a candidate.

Before you get started -- some stuff you should know:

The world has Swiss Banks. We have our Online Community. Both are highly confidential and secure -- only with us, you don't have to worry about retina scans and fingerprints. Any information you share with watchLAB will never be given to any clients or third parties without your explicit permission as part of a paid market research study.
