He was familiar with the details of most of them. He briefly looked over the paperwork for each request. He didn’t really think there was anything too controversial to be considered today. Most of the requests were pretty routine and involved upgrades to existing systems. The one totally new system being proposed for development was a customer loyalty system, referred to internally as “No Customer Escapes.”

The target user is anyone from a recreational to a competitive swimmer, and both open water and swimming pool laps are to be catered for. The watch is to connect with an app that will provide a variety of additional features as well as those on the watch itself.
