Title: Bitcoin Wrist Watch!
Post by: TheBTCWatch on July 09, 2014, 04:14:42 PM
Hi all, feel free to move my topic if need be; I am not selling anything at the moment, so it didn't feel right posting in the 'Marketplace'.

I am producing a limited quantity run of bitcoin watches. This started as a search for a personal watch, but after a fairly extensive search on the web, I didn't find anything to suit my needs.

I am not making a killing off these watches, and probably won't even see a ROI, but I thought it would be cool to produce something new to the market, learn some new info along the way,and help spread some much needed awareness to the BTC community.

Thanks for reading!

very much a novelty aspect. but i feel there is a market for them...

so here are some idea's:
1) at bitcoin conferences find out some of the big guys that are going and ask them if they can put a stand next to their cubicle/area that has the watches and let them manage the sales. making them your affiliate (they get a commission or profit above wholesale price)

2) any bitcoin shops that pop up such as here (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2562854/Bitcoin-Its-not-just-online-Britains-physical-shop-virtual-currency-bought-opens-London.html). again like a shop, the guy sels them and just pays you the whole sale price

Seems like there might be some people who would want a bitcoin watch out there. I like your no nonsense approach on your website. Price sounds very reasonable as well.

Good luck with your project.

nice gift but not a must have.

You can have a live price ticker as an addon for any Smartwatch.

That is neat, and I think you can find a market for these watches if only right here in the Bitcoin community. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention and one never knows when one might need to quickly check the current price of Bitcoin while out shopping.

It's good... but it could be MUCH better - like a digital watch that will also show the current market price of bitcoin on the screen. Now THAT would be legit. It could synchronize with wifi.

Why not just make a BTC Wallet App for Android Wear (http://www.android.com/wear/)? That seems like a much more feasible idea and opens up a whole new market.

I think this is just more for the novelty of having a Bitcoin watch. Like having a t-shirt or something. Making something for a smartwatch would be a totally different project I think.

Well there are already smart watches sold for $50 so if you want to make something worth less than that you will have small margins.
