"Frequent business travellers have a dilemma: carry a briefcase or carry a backpack and look like they’re a suit-wearing summer camper. The Watson is a stylish, high quality-compromise."

"The Watson Pack promises to bring the comfort of a backpack with the professionalism and style of a briefcase."

"One of our top 5 picks of cool and helpful gadgets, this hardshell backpack will elevate your experience and your look."

Let our customers speak for us

Head-turner. Worth the wait.

Great looker with a rich finish. Lot of curious faces around, particularly when it stands effortlessly and swings down to open up. This one was totally worth the wait. Good decision.

A functional, eye-catching bag

Imagine this. Coming into a meeting with the Watson Pack, placing it on the table, pressing the button and watching the door smoothly open - revealing all the necessary items for your journey. Eyes gaze at the clean and smooth lines, wondering how is it possible. Marvel at how easy it is to get everything you need without shifting items. No need to figure out which zipper to open. Just press the button and see all your items neatly organized and easily accessible.

Worth the Wait

Very early days with the backpack but really pleased. The ability to open and close one handed and for the pack to sit upright is really useful. The internal storage pockets are large and accommodate what was in my messenger bag without any problems, and with improved accessibility. Received positive comments from others at work - "It looks from out of Men in Black."

The backpack I was looking for!

I started looking for a new backpack simply because I just wanted one that can stand up on its own and found Watson. I'm so glad I did. They even solved the dangling straps problem, so it just looks clean. In addition, the interior feels very high quality, open/close mechanism is so much fun to use, and it is very sturdy.

Finally what I was looking for!

Working in digital forensics I have always struggled to find a bag that I can carry enough kit/cables/etc, but still rock up to meetings and look/feel professional - and most importantly find and access what I need when I need it, rather than digging around the bottom of a bag or overstuffed pocket... Simply put, what I wanted didn't exist, which is why I'm so excited for the Watson. Finally what I've been looking for!

Once you join the Pack, you can never go back!

“This bag isn’t cheap, but I would easily pay double if I had to buy it again. It is so much better than the alternatives. I love it.”

Mission accomplished.

"I took it for the first proper test spin in and out of multiple meetings all day, in 38 degrees (100 F) weather, and it was an absolute joy to run around the city with. The comfort and support really cannot be beat and whenever there was a breeze I could feel the wind faintly through the back of the pack. Even in stinking hot weather, it wasn't sticking to my back or uncomfortable at all... and it seriously turned heads in meetings - if it can impress a bunch of stuck up lawyers, well, mission accomplished."
