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 potentially 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.

“I drive a lot, so need to take regular breaks to fuel or charge my vehicle. When I do, I’m looking for the best quality coffee and food for a well-deserved rest.”“I make sustainable choices/purchases that are less harmful to people and the planet – even if it might cost more. This includes how I choose to fuel or charge my vehicle.”“I am prepared to pay more for higher quality or premium brands, products and services. This also applies when buying fuel, charging my vehicle or buying food & drink.”“I prefer things simple and hassle free so will tend to go wherever is most conveniently located with the fuel or charging speed I need.”“Above all else, I want to get the best possible price for anything I buy. I will choose wherever sells the lowest price fuel or charging.”“I want to feel rewarded for my custom, so discounts, promotions and loyalty schemes influence my purchases, including where I fuel or charge my vehicle.”“Life is busy and I want to make the best use of my time, so having a convenience store at a petrol station or charging site is very important.”
