I've just won a cheap, vecro-strapped watch from Virginmeia.com and/or Filmflex promoting the film 'XXX' (the action film - not !!!!!! hehe). Unfortunately(?), the watch doesn't work, so I'm not too impressed!!!!

Has anyone ever won anything worse?

:hello: well done on winning but shame the prize is naff! Couldn't you send them an email telling them it's broken and could it be replaced? At least then you'd have a naff watch that worked!"Every day when I wake up I thank the Lord I'm Welsh" Cerys Matthews0

I won the same one too and it doesn't work either. I'm guessing the battery is flat. I don't remember entering the competition recently so it was probably one from ages ago and the watches have therefore probably been sitting there for months with the batteries running flat... 2022 wins include.... £1,000 cheque £150 ASDA gift card £250 Impericon gift voucher £100 cheque £100 of plant bulbs £100 Bower Collective voucher0

Well done on your win.
I would agree with the others who have said to get in touch with the comp organisers. I was sent a dodgy iPod Nano a few months back. When I got in touch (nicely) to tell them that it didn't work they were very apologetic and even upgraded it to the latest model!

Well Done! I would defo mail them though as they should supply a working watch. If you all get in touch them they will be shamed into doing something
