Couple of days back I posted in 'Goods' sub forum and got 6 pre-orders from some amazing people. link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=432915.msg4747521#msg4747521I am Bonam, Working on a fully flexible Smart Watch for the last 6 months.
It is the First ever Flexible SmartWatch: www.irisgear.comDuring the last 6 months I was working on this new and exciting Flexible Smartwatch. Now we have a prototype and manufacturing lined up. We need to order more engineering samples to do the miniaturization of electronics and testing for robustness. Pre-orders for this awesome technology would help propel our work and launch a Kickstarter campaign in February. Fully featured: Mobile notifications, Voice commands, Heart rate monitoring, Fitness and sleep pattern tracking.Biggest advantage is its Battery life: 600mAh battery, 3-6 weeks on standard fitness tracking usage, 5-9 days on heavy bluetooth, notifications and backlight usage. (tested on various bluetooth connections)Compatible with all notifications and apps from Anrdoid 2.3+, Iphone 4S+ and Windows phone 8 (More: It has a 9Degree of Freedom motion sensor and can track sleep patterns. Along with heart rate monitor, tracking steps taken, calories burnt with specific exercises, this will be a complete device for fitness. These graphs will be shown in full wide screen on wrist. It doesnt have glass components or hard casing, making it comfortable to wear even during sleep unlike other watches/Smartwatches. Also can control google music app, and all notifications in ios, android, on the move) Ask me any questions you have and help us to launch this product like never before, by pre-ordering this interesting piece of work. Pre-orders: $199 or 0.249 BTC and free shipping for first 20 as gratitude for support. Retail Price: $269, June 2014 Bonam Seshagiri Rao IRIS Gear LTD, London, UK Reg: 8660038 I like this, but do you have a working prototype?

yup the videos 2 working prototypes, functional with motion sensor, micro controller, battery. only casing is pending and its just a matter of some 3d printing n other tools.. will update soon jan 2014: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7k6-MqgfJ8november 2013: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FC3rue84nIwe have ambitious goals and you can get a this early price of $199, ill bear the shipping. (the first 100 production run will cost us $300 but we will take the cut for early adoptors who support us all the way. anytime we will refund if you change your mind. looking for proof of demand now!)

So i watched that video and I am going to be honest, the watch image seems photoshopped. I love this design, why aren't you just going to kickstarter, now you have a prototype etc?

not at all Photoshopped, its straight forward recording... We need to do a well thoughtout video campaign for kickstarter, and get the smartwatch to a more finished design by miniaturization of our circuits. Now we need to order more engineering samples, for which I am looking for funding. I am paying for two developers and also all the suppliers. Exhausted i must say.
Pre-orders in bitcoin is testing grounds for buyer reactions and raising funds for the kickstarter campaign. first impression of video and the pitch are very important and we dont want to risk it with half preparedness.

I know right.., but I have an amazing product with months of work behind it, and am a real startup with registration and vat number. I can meet people in London, and sell to them when they look at the Smartwatch. There is a lot on the line for me, and I am offering an early bird price, seriously at a loss because I need to push some supplier payments this week. All you may buy in to, today is the unique smartwatch, that we want to accomplish.

Wow these look great! Where did you source your screen technology? I can't wait to get a bit of BTC to invest.

Thanks for the appreciation.. display from E-ink technology, and it would be an awesome start for us, if you wanna buy We will have customized finishing and swappable wristbands. The first few watches are really special for us and our supporters.

You could send it to me as well if that's easier for you. I live in Holland so that would save you shipping fees + customs forms.
I recently bought a smartwatch so I could review yours and compare it to a current gen smartwatch.
Edit: recently bought the SmartQ Z watch.

Thanks for your support, but also think how I can afford as a startup. If you can pre-order, its available at a reduced price of $199, compared to what I'll sell it at launch $269. The components we are using are quite expensive and one of their kind. think of us as a startup and there is only little we can afford right now. if you pay a little we can do the rest of work for you.

I was talking about sending it to Holland instead of sending it to the US (to save you costs/effort). I totally understand you can't afford to randomly send out prototypes . My preorder is coming soon. I am really excited from what I've seen so far.

My preorder is coming soon. I am really excited from what I've seen so far. I got that, but that guy is expecting one, so i wont disappoint him. Also for your Pre-order, Ill send it as early as we have first five units and then replace it with a finished one in May.

I have the feeling it'll become a huge success after you launch a Kickstarter!

Well even if i am still not sure what i should think about the fact that i did not hear anything about it yet, i bought 2 watches. So i give you my trust and i hope it will be worth it. If this is real and you get things working and finally start a kickstarter, i am also sure it will top your thinkings. This watch has something special... even if its not full of hardware like other watches, i think this could be the fact why it can become something really big. It could become a wanted design accessory. I just think of different designs this watch can take on. You can make a nice "wallpaper" with your own design to make people looking at it and say: wow, what the hell is that nice bracelett.
I work at a cell phone operator and showed around today. They all want to be kept updated as soon as i get more news. So if you can bring it up and are looking for higher amounts to sell we could arrange something maybe. Really looking forward. Would love to sell them in our stores.
