WATCH LAUNCH of 2023 | on Kickstarter

Hi,

as I am super new here and I'd be very thankful for your assistance and help.

I've got my WATCH LAUNCH in the pipeline and could use any positive energy from you, knowledgeable watch enthusiasts, to boost my movement.

After all this is from a watch enthusiast for like minded lovers of a high-quality sub homage to have fun without breaking the bank.

I am the founder of

AYOTA — VINNA based in AUSTRIA

established in 2023

Of course this is just the start and beautiful and unique original designs will follow.

But this will always be the FIRST EDITION AYOTA and deserves a very special place in your collection.

The production ready prototype of the AYOTA - APNEA DIVER PRO 1 functions perfectly and I've got it right in my HANDS.

It has got a beautiful deep black enamel dial, a precise 120 click bezel with ceramic bezel insert, a 7x AR coated sapphire crystal, and a superb 3-link milled bracelet with a milled quick adjustable deployment buckle. The sides are polished nicely and top is beautifully stained polish.

Of course you will see and get a sense of the elaborate finish yourself along with all specs in the Kickstarter launch as soon as it starts.

I'm happy to have your insights and to welcome to be part of this one of a kind journey. 🍀

I wish you all the best

Massi

Well first things first my friend. Welcome to WatchCrunch Massi!!🍾🎊🎉 I wish you the best of luck on your launch date. Look forward to getting more information on this launch so I can form a more constructive conversation.

·

Welcome and I wish you good luck.

Best of luck to you and welcome to WatchCrunch.

That said, could you leave out the bars under the Ayota logo? Or just leave the bars and remove the words. The dial looks top heavy to me.

Thank you for your suggestion TalkingDugong. This whole setup is do to a geometrical algorithm and symbolyses a diamond. with the 12 o'clock index as it's Crown. Once you realized it and got used to it, you won't miss it anymore. 🍀

Welcome, and good luck with your campaign.

Having viewed the page in your link, I'd like to offer some constructive criticism.

  1. The use of numbers to replace words doesn't look very professional. 'Homage 2', instead of 'Homage to' in the product description.

  2. It's spelt 'Below' and not 'Bellow' when asking people to click the link.

  3. 'Sapphire top', do you mean Crystal?

To me, these are some very basic mistakes that a simple spell checker would pick up and correct, or that a true watch enthusiast would choose to word correctly.

I can only speak for myself, but based on those mistakes I'd swerve your product. It might sound harsh, but details matter when I'm spending money.

Male end links typically limit the market for these as female end links mean it would better fit more wrists.

Agree with comments above that the logo is on the large side.

Not sure on the Apnea - maybe it’s a translation thing but I associate that with snoring and sleep apnea rather than an obvious dive watch connection? Hopefully it’s explained in the materials.

Finally from those campaigns that I have seen - price will determine the success or not here bearing in mind there are many good choices for a sub homage.

Good luck

It looks like a fake Rolex Submariner.

Apnea means snorkeling

Welcome, and good luck with the Kickstarter Campaign.

Apnea means snorkeling

👍

Courtesy of wiki …

When a person is immersed in water, physiological changes due to the mammalian diving reflex enable somewhat longer tolerance of apnea even in untrained persons as breathing is not possible underwater. Tolerance can in addition be trained. The ancient technique of free-diving requires breath-holding, and world-class free-divers can hold their breath underwater up to depths of 214 metres (702 ft) and for more than four minutes.Apneists, in this context, are people who can hold their breath for a long time.

Best wishes!!!!

Can you put a price? How much does it cost please? 🌈

1st, Welcome to the forum.

-criticism incoming-

2nd, One of the things that attract so many enthusiasts to microbrands is that they tend to offer something unique to the watch industry, something that sets their design apart.

Variations in dials, indices, hand sets, colors, textures, case designs, etc.

They can also offer better quality at times.

The ability to "think outside the box" without the albatross of upper management dictating they don't rock the boat.

& they're usually able to offer these unique designs at prices mere mortals can afford.

Your watch looks well built, but honestly there are about a dozen or two established brand logos that could be on that dial & no one would know the difference.

Best of luck, but temper expectations.

Thank you for your opinion Issaak32.

As soon as the WATCH LAUNCH starts, the appearance and the picture attached to the link will change and open up.

I will try to make special posts for WatchCrunch 🤞😃

If you are limited to a set number of characters, can I suggest that you make better use of the space in the image?

"Coming very soon!"

"Launch day is coming closer"

"Coming soon"

Why not put clear and accurate details of the watch in this area, instead of telling us in 3 different ways that this product is launching soon?

If you can't tell us the date, then tell us the specs. After all, that's what the customer is buying.

But, I'm not in marketing so I could be miles off the mark...

Dear horolo_fan, I thank you very much for your suggestions.

The specs will be displayed as well.

👌😃

Thank you wrist watch Explorer 👋😃

It’s just another submariner homage. We have those from Invicta, Steinhart, Squale, San Martin, Chronos, Pagani Design, Croton, Tag, and the list goes on and on. We don’t need anymore sub homages.

·
JonInAtl

Other than your own logo, I don't see anything unique here. To be completely honest, it looks like just another generic Chinese "homage" like the hundreds of others that appear online. Congratulations, you've re-invented the Toyota Corolla.

No even an reinvention. Just a rebadge.

I might be wrong but I don’t think this is going to go the way you where hoping I’m sad to say. One can find an addiesdive which like exactly like this for 50 bucks on Ali express. The market, especially out of China is flooded with Rolex homages so id suggest holding off on the launch if you can and maybe switch things up with a different handset, bezel and bracelet combo so it isn’t just a carbon copy of a sub.

Again I hope for your sake I’m wrong and that you take this as the friendly constructive feedback that it was intended!

Welcome to the crunch and best of luck with your project wherever it may go from here!

Please let me know what further information you would like to have Mr. Santana? 👌🍀

Curious what the full spec Rundown is but you mentioned seeing the finish and getting additional info when Kickstarter is launched.

Thank you for your contribution, but you are absolutely wrong Patrick, by comparing the AYOTA PRO 1 to cheap copies from Ali x :(.., just from a coming soon release foto without knowing the specs, the high quality materials and the elaborate finish of this Timepiece which totally give you the touch and feel of high end quality.

Just an example, we have put in a black ENAMEL DIAL and succeeded to manage after countless iterations to have a deep black which symbolyses the very depth of the ocean.

I invite you to press the

🟩 Notify me on LAUNCH ✅ button in my link

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/watches-and-gains/steel-luxury-sports-watch-killer-seiko-automatic-caliber

and become convinced that this is a superb watch.

There are tons of impressions and information which we have prepared passionately and provided for you to satisfy yourself from the high-quality appearance.

Just look through it when the launch hast started. You'll see and feel.

Th e launch is coming soon 🍀🔜🏆

And the look of this Timepiece is absolutely intended this way. This will be the best and most accurate homage.

We are working on an Original Design as well. This then will absolutely be original without borrowing design elements whatsoever.

I have visited your project campaign just now. And went visit Aliexpress right after that for comparison. What is it exactly the difference between yours and cheap Aliexpress homages again? (Except from yours being expensive of course). Really, I need to know.
