im a giant idiot with friends who do this poo poo and they really do put a ton of effort into sewing their own clothes and make their own leather goods, and those actually look good because they actually have those skills, and then they spraypaint a nerf gun brown and call it a day and it looks dumb

which is why im going to be building an airpowered version of that nerf gun out of metal so i can wave it in their unthinkable faces and say gently caress STEAMPUNK and then shoot them with airsoft-speed darts

quote:

TO ALL POTENTIAL NEW BACKERS READ THIS:
Vak has provided false and misleading information, has spammed the comments to try and drown out negative responses, and hasn't answered a single question of the backers.
Response to the meltdown Vakbot is spamming:
1) Besides saying "dual processor" I have yet to see any stats on this different processor you reference
2) You have yet to show how well the Qi works with the watch, just shown pictures of a watch that looks like the Z3 on some kind of dock
3) You have yet to show any actual patents so stop saying you have patented apps/etc
4) Upgrading an android version hardly makes it a different watch
5) Again claiming patents without any patent numbers or info. If you haven't actually applied/recieved a patent, don't claim to have it patented
6) You have yet to show how the tracking works, and it's not like tracking apps are new
7) You have shown standard watch bands and some pictures made on a computer, not actual products in these many colors
8) Have yet to see this work, and it seems to just be an app that moves apps onto the watch from the phone, much like you can export watch skins to Pebble
9) notifications and time? Pebble has a watch and a vibrate function. Fail to see how yours is special, and again with claiming patents you don't have
10) You have a metal case. Ok.
11) Fitness apps are everywhere. Again yet to see actual app in action
12) Paying a company to develop apps for you (which we don't know is true or not) doesn't make your watch different
13) There aren't really enough on the market to call some high end. Samsung is the closest you get. This statement means nothing
14) So you can charge more, yes. We understand but again Z3 is in China, you're in the US. Yuo claim higher stats. You added metal to the frame. Of course that's more expensive.
None of these provide any of our answers. You still provided no new specs, no new pictures or video. Making bold claims is easy, backing them up is what we want.
The info that caused the meltdown:
Hi Vak and all Kickstarter backers sorry to blow away your dreams but to protect every backers and myself for this kind of scams I need to report that immediately.
I am really disappointed to see a project like that (Scam) in Kickstarter!!
I love Kickstarter and a big fan of it but sorry I feel that I need to alert all the backers here even that I was needed to pay to write this comment!!
The smartwatch that you are presenting is a poor Chinese smartwatch that is calling the Z3, she came out in China one year ago with no success due to the Bluetooth connection problems with smartphones, the Z3 cost around 30$ on bulk quantities, the spec of this cheap smartwatch are far like you are pretending, very disappointing also to see that you lie to all of us and pretending for long years that your team develop it.
Take good examples of Pebble, Agents, Omate this guys real work and develop a smartwatch!!!!
Shame of you and your Team very frustrated that Kickstarter dont do anything and allow this types of projects!!
Next time try to do your homework and be logical with the spec, 4GB of Ram ?? what you are joking on backers ? 4GB of memory ? For your record this poor Chinese smartwatch have 2GB of memory and 256mb of Ram it is Running on Android 4.1 and not 4.2!! Oled screen?? 1080P ?? What are you dreaming ?? Even you dont know how to explain what is a resolution so you want Oled screen and 1080P on it ?? Vak please stop jock on us, not everybody are dumb!! For your knowledge the Z3 screen is 1,54 poor lcd. Its not possible to add QI charger on the Z3 due to his construction, the charger is a clip like the first Omate charger.
The App is also developed by the same Chinese company by the name of Appscomm dont confuse with the well known company Foxconn and they are far to finish the app for just receiving Text message.
Notifications such as Facebook, Email can be receive only by wifi and not like you are pretending by your smartphone like the Gear!! Next time also dont jock on others and do comparisons with Omate and the Neptune Pines that are far far away advanced from the Z3 specifications and features even the old good Pebble are better!!
For all the backers here is all the proof
Link of the company that his developing the Z3 (Rock as you pretending) in China: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/783148222/Android_watch_4_0_capacitive_touch.html

Next time dont take us for idiots !!

quote:

We have been in conversations with our engineers, manufacturers and designers. After reviewing the links that have been sent by the Kickstarter community, we have concluded that the Z3 may look similar to the Rock, but we are completely different and better; based on the description below;
1) The rock has a different processor than the Z-3.
2) The rock has QI wireless charging the Z-3 does not, neither any other Android smartwatch
currently on the market.
3) The rock has patented proprietary apps that currently Z-3 does not have.
4) The rock Wall Street business is using a different Operating system than the Z-3.
5) The rock had the first patented QI wireless docking station Z-3 does not.
6) The rock has a tracking app system that the Z-3 does not have or exist in the smart watch world.
7) The rock selection of colors and features is far better and different than the Z-3.
8) Rock has the first app portal which does not exist with the Z3 or Android app store.
9) The Z3 does not have our patented unique rocking nine notifications and time feature.
10) The Z3 does not have a complete metal Wall Street business watch with metal features and greater durability.
11) The Z3 does not have our fitness app features.
12) The Z3 is not partnered with pintails expensive (Pyntail with extensive) app experience and ability
13) The rock hardware system and operating system is comparable to high end consumer smartwatches in the current market
14) The rocks cost of developing, design, features and proprietary patents to manufacture is far more costly then this Z-3.
Rocks designers focused on providing an affordable and dependable consumer smart watch that enhances their lifestyle. Rock was specifically designed for the convenience and lifestyle of the mass consumers.
Thanks,
Rock Team

so do kickstarters normally take forever to ship out? i did that smart herb garden and they are about 3 months behind

even to the point they had to ask us people if we wanted to seed the loving things ourselves, and some people said yes, so they hand packed 10,000 things....

it really depends. ive had some things arrive exactly on time but most things are almost always delayed because 90% of people doing kickstarters have never had to do a project of that scale, and if they get way, way way more interest than they thought the sheer amount of poo poo that has to be done will overwhelm them for a bit

even the jerkcity book is delayed as hell

ive only done this twice too, the smart herb garden and the singer of GWAR writing some book for a game called Towers Two

Dave Brockie, the singer, is about a year and a half behind on getting it out

the only reason i went for it tho was 2 free tickets and a meet & greet, plus a shirt and the book he was writing

as i said, nothing released yet but he apologized and i got free tickets to another show when they stopped in again
