watchLAB welcomes you to the pre-qualifying online survey for Project Granite (Devices)!

Topic: Devices
Genders: All
Ages: 18 - 64
Dates: Multi-phase project, February 10th through March 24th
Type of study: Online Board and Follow Up Interviews
Location: Remote study residents nationwide
Incentive: up to $475 (Payment would be mailed to you as a check. We estimate that checks would be mailed out about 6 weeks after the last interviews for this study have been completed.)

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

After you fill out the survey, we will review your responses. If you appear to be a possible match to our client's research criteria we will call you to verify your responses and ask you some additional questions to determine if you fully qualify. Please note that simply filling out the survey does not automatically qualify you for the study. Also, due to a potential high volume of responses, we may only be able to respond to those who appear to be a possible match.

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.

The study will involve the following steps:

● The preliminary study will be online and will include answering some questions in the form of videos which will be uploaded to that online platform for review by the research team. These responses will allow the research team to select those who will be continuing on.

● Those selected for the longer study will receive a test product and, separately, a stand for their smartphone.

● On 2/23 and 2/24 participants take part in a live interview, with a moderator, in a 2-hour conversation.

● In between the online platform responses and the live interview, participants will log about their experiences with the test product.

● Between 2/24 and 3/22 participants will continue to record their experiences.

● On 3/23 and 3/24, a final 1-hour video interview will take place, wrapping up the experience.

Are you interested in participating should you be selected for the month long study?

Are you willing to download an app called Dscout to complete this research study?

Participating in the project will require you to take videos and photos, and we might ask to see you in them (i.e., we’ll ask you to record “selfie-style” videos and photos). Are you comfortable taking videos and photos of yourself?

Following the mobile app-based diary part of the project, you may be invited to participate in a follow up video interview on Dscout Live. In order to participate in the Live interview, your computer must have a few things, including:

1. A working sound system, camera and microphone (If you don't have a built-in camera or microphone, external ones will work just fine)

2. Google Chrome web browser

3. The Dscout Live Google Chrome extension

4. A strong internet connection.

Can you meet these requirements?
