Specs and price?

Nice start..get rid of the BIG Logo...

9039 movement, 40mm, sapphire. Still out final price but it will be sub £500 and have some early bird specials around 30%-15% off

Ok

will you post a reminder for the group?

Will do

I also have a newsletter section on the website 

this will lose traction and slip from view - I would recommend you post a reminder before you go live. There are a few voracious consumers who might benefit from a nudge.

I think there should be only one colour - green :D

Please, and this isn't only for you, first pic should be dial straight on, 12 at top. Always. Your watches look good to me. Welcome and keep in touch.

Thanks for the specs. You might want to include some info about the watch on your site as I was just there. Your focus should be that. Appreciate the opportunity for feedback. I do like the design and will look forward to your kick start or updates on your project!

Cheers!

The green dial is beautiful! Maybe make the logo a tad smaller and you have a winner.

Thanks for the feedback, I’m just finalising the kickstarter page, and then I will be updating the website. 

I'll star your thread and keep an 👁  out for updates. 

Thanks!

Great thanks

I love that green dial.  It looks good I like the brand name. Where are you from?

I designed the watch (a lot of custom moulds had to be made), and yes is manufactured in Hong Kong, I spoke to Jody (Just one more watch) who pointed me to the better manufacturers. it has a 9039 movement, so it’s all high spec. The bracelet need a few tweaks before full production, and the clasp is milled. 

I love the green 💚 very much.

I'm just across the boarder in Derbyshire! Is great to see a local microbrand 👍

Thanks matey 

Ay up ay up ay up another Nottinghamian on the crunch How Do.

Lovely green dial. Just make the logo a bit smaller and that'd be cracking. 

We may have to set up a meet up at some point mate

That would be cracking

swords arrow shield

not sure about the shield at 12

that's minor

but too much/large text

Sherwood logo is too big and kitchy imo.

Nice size and specs, you will have to remind us when you go live. If I may, in my opinion (which you are completely free to dismiss), you should decide if you want a logo OR a brand name on your dial but don't display both. It creates a crowded dial and it doesn't really help with brand recognition. I would stick with the name and engrave the logo on the back if you want to keep it.

Case back shots would be good too. Agreed with most, brand dial text could stand to be smaller or subbed with a logo.

Good on you for putting out something you're passionate about!

I am also on the logo too large bandwagon.

In terms of promotion, your photos should show the bands on the bezel starting at 12:00 to 4:00, marking the first 20 minutes of dive time.

It looks weird seeing the timing bars go from 10:00 to 2:00. 

Looks great…I love that black dial day lume shot!

I have to give the credit to @joey_c00L  who did the photography for me - check out his Instagram account

Nice! Love the green version. The 12 marker is unique in a good way, and very interesting concept for the bezel. Maybe it could benefit from making the zero position stand out more. Finishing looks great from those pictures. The logo definitely need to be scaled down as others have mentioned. Good job. 

Good luck with the campaign. I have successfully launched a watch on Kickstarter before. Feel free to reach out if you want to talk :)

To get the look I wanted I had to re-think how to use the bezel. Instead of a traditional lume pip at the 12 o’clock position, I have a 20-minute section that is central for symmetry, and if you need to time anything you can move it to the start of the 20-minute section. This should still be as intuitive as a traditional bezel.

Hey Glynn,

Just saw your watch on ILW! Nice to see it reviewed. Love your watch. Maybe, I might.......have to ask the wife. I love your design. Off to your sight to check it out again 

Cheers!
