The XG-55 Watch from La Crosse Technology includes a DVD authored by WebGrinders to guide users through the setup process. This helped to reduce customer service calls because people who refuse to read the manual would gladly watch the DVD.

This project included custom 3-D modeling and animation. A scale model of the XG-55 Watch was built by WebGrinders using Autodesk 3ds Max software, rendered with Brazil R/S® and Mental Ray®.
