Good that they finally “made right” and I would love one from a novelty standpoint but…
That thing looks “3d printed” in the worst possible way. Like, they didn’t even bother to do a quick pass with some sandpaper to get rid of the FDM striations.
I am not saying everything needs to be injection molded and 3d printing is awesome for small batch products (my favorite HOTAS is pretty blatantly printed). But I would at least expect a quick pass with some sandpaper to make it feel “premium”.

When I saw the image I thought it was a prototype. That’s pretty funny.
It is a prototype, but honestly the production model doesn’t look to much better. Warning, Twitter link
That can’t be a production product…God damn it i would be pissed if i paid for something and it turned up looking like that.
It’s been printed on a textured sheet, lmao
Not even that. My bog standard budget preassembled 3d printer already produces far better top layers than what’s shown in those pictures.
It’s using ten year old microcontroller technology too. And ten year old 3d printing technology.
I guess that’s what you get when your kickstarter takes ten years to deliver.
uh, well, it took 10 years to get these watches shipped, sanding would probably have taken another year at least
