Nickname: "Eyeball"

Logo: TBA

Variants:

• Georgian Square: We see live action footage of a group of people pushing a large eye across and as they are doing so the camera switches to close-up shots of the people smiling, laughing and children playing around, then we see the eye from a clearer view with the people (most are in groups around a cloth having a picnic), and the word "watch" appears by wiping in and shines a second after it wipes in.
• Beach: The people are doing the same thing but the large eyeball is a little closer to the camera.
• City Night: This variant was used from October 2008-April 2009, in this variant after the crowd moves the eyeball they carry sparks in which they light.
• Farm: The crowd are carrying flags as they move the eyeball across.
• Cinema: In this ident we see a set of chairs a flashing blue light above it which is shining on the words "watch" and there is a eyeball which jumps across 3 times until it reaches the end of the word "watch", in which it looks at the screen.

FX/SFX: The words forming, the eyeball moving.

Music/Sounds: Depends of the variant.

Availability: Extinct.

Logo: On a single-colored background we see live-action footage of objects moving around. Halfway into the ident, the footage slows down, a red semicircle appears in the middle, and certain objects come out of it at normal speed for a few seconds before becoming slow motion again. As the objects begin to fly out, the word "WATCH" wipes in.

FX/SFX: The "WATCH" logo forming, the objects.

Music/Sounds: Sounds of the objects like paint and fuzz balls then the man whispering the channel's name "Watch" is heard.
