I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.

So I've had a pre-order for an I'mwatch since August. After a major delay and a redesign from the initial prototype, they were supposed to ship in April. I'm yet to see anything and the pebble's looking a lot more attractive. Still, when I eventually get it I'll post a review.
I think the moral of the story so far is don't trust Italian startups.

Just got an email from the i'mwatch people about the most recent shipping delay. It's a work of mangled English and art. Enjoy:

Dear Customer,
we appreciate the patience you've shown so far regarding the delivery of i'm Watch. We are aware that you have encountered some inconveniences and that, above all, you were not able to use a device that grows every day further interest around the world.
Unfortunately we have verified once more the validity of that saying: "The best is the enemy of the good!"
What do we mean?
We want to tell you today with great transparency and humbleness that, not only have we met all the difficulties of an extremely innovative and ambitious project (and the unforeseen events that have surpassed any logical expectation), but we have especially given into the temptation of implementing some modifications in order to increase and improve the adaptability of i'm Watch towards the future development of technology (for example, enabling it to handle a larger number of apps than initially expected). All of these factors brought us to lose precious time and, particularly, has prevented us from providing you some certain dates for the delivery.
But we are now able to define them as follows, taking into account that we intend to conduct a last serious testing program with our customers:
1) By June 15th we will provide i'm Watch to a group of 300 customers, who will cooperate with us for a final and ultimate check, to be completed by July 15th. We will ask them to give regular feedback on their experience, which will be reported in a public blog on the website https://www.imwatch.it in order to allow you to follow its evolution as well.
2) Starting July 15th we will begin to ship the product to all those who have an unsent order. We expect to fulfill the delivery for all current orders within and no later than September 15th.
Given that we understand that you might have lost interest in the purchase, we decided to offer you the following possibilities:
• Giving up the purchase and requesting an immediate refund of the paid amount, providing by July 15th an e-mail to the following address, if you are residing in Italy: assistenza.italia@imwatch.it, or to the following: assistance.world@imwatch.it if you are residing abroad.
• If instead you are willing to wait until the expected date of delivery, you will receive at the delivery a 15% discount on the price paid.
We thank you for your cooperation, very confident that i'm Watch will fully meet your expectations.
Best regards.
Manuel Zanella and Massimiliano Bertolini
President and CEO of i'm Spa
I ordered in August of last year. Now I might have it in September.
