There is something called Betteridge’s rule of headlines, coined by technology journalist Ian Betteridge in 2009 (but recognised for much longer), that states that any journalistic headline posed as a question can be answered ‘no’. The thinking goes that if men were definitely, undoubtedly wearing smaller watches, we as journalists would confidently assert that they were, rather than asking.

Here’s a pub quiz question for you. Which brand is the longest-running sponsor of the Summer Olympic Games? It’s not a sporting company (as indeed none of the International Olympic Committee’s top-level partners are) and neither is it one whose products are particularly associated with a healthy lifestyle.
