  Can you please post the real picture of a rock sports watch with metal casing.
  
  The photos look like rendering and they do not look like the only real photo of the Wall Street watch with the metal case shown below. Thermal case here looks different and bigger.

  @richard - i dont know. this guy likes his patents and "proprietary" stuff.. I have a feeling nothing will work except their own special products.

  @John, many thanks. So if I have a Qi charging station already (Nokia phone) then then watches will charge with this?
4. Creator John Proffer 3 days ago
  
  they ALL rely on batteries. Qi is just a wireless charging standard.
5. Creator Richard Hustwit 3 days ago
  
  I notice that the watches under $179 are not Qi powered, so do they rely on batteries? If so, what is the estimated last of these batteries as it seems to be a power draining (yet awesome) watch?

  whats the difference between your "app portal" and the google play store?
7. Creator kalani dolly 3 days ago
  
  Sorry if this was asked/answered.
  1. Are both the mens and womens watch face the same size? And to piggy back of someone else's question.
  2. Will watch be curved (hopefully) or flat?
  3. Will watch bands be changable?
  This is why I ask. I am female but do not want a white watch but do not want a bulky strap. I want a black watch with a black female strap or the black rockin metal strap.
  Thanks

  Vak you mentioned the watch isn't completely compatible with the iPhone, can you elaborate exactly what functions won't be available to iPhone users as I am sure there are many if us.

26. Creator Atul Kapoor 3 days ago
  
  @Vak: I have opted for $119 pledge... does this cover Rockin' Metal NYC model?
27. Creator Kelvin Tran 3 days ago
  
  i'm casting my vote for SPORTS METAL ROCK in black metal housing =)
  awesome job getting over half your goal in such a short time =D

  @Daniel: It's because before I answer them...sometimes I have to double check or I'm not on my desktop...
29. Creator Vak Sambath 3 days ago
  
  @Li: 1) The sport version uses a three prong metal flat contact 2) the 179 version does offer Qi charging. Which one are you referring too. I hope we didn't miss anything. 3) The casing is composite plastic for the sports, while the wrist band is silicone premium plastic...it's a smoother finish.

  Hi Vak,
  
  To get Rockin' Metal NYC model should I opt for "EARLY BIRD SPECIAL#2"????
  
  It seems a bit confusing.
  
  I think the best way to do is to upload a Pledge table of which one side should contain the Pledge amounts, comparing to what all models they cover.
  
  Hope this helps.
31. Creator Daniel Apolinario 3 days ago
  
  I asked like 4 questions and i got 1 answer only. Sorry to say but i read the back comments and yeah, alot of questions were answered with no definite answer. Dont get me wrong, I really wanted this project. Although it seems like all these information are only sugar coated. Nice to have but all the misleading information makes it scary to get one. Sorry

  I am intrigued by this smartwatch's designs and capabilities. This is by far the only watch that seems to have been made specifically for both soccer moms as well as women in the professional fields. When someone mentions “smartwatch,” I automatically picture a bulky watch that only men could pull off. However, the Rock gives me, as a consumer, a whole new perspective. Anyone can wear the Rock. The watch seems to feature both an edgy yet classy style that will allow anyone from preteens to professional working men and women to wear on the daily. Furthermore, with new regulations in regard to texting and driving, this watch couldn’t come at a better time. I strongly believe that this product will only make life easier for its consumers.
  
  I also like the fact that the Rock takes the best features in other smart watches and combine them together. Who doesn't want to own the best of the best? If this watch delivers exactly what it promises, it will be hard for other companies to beat this incredible deal.

  @Daniel: I just had another person ask for the Sports Metal Watch Casing in black. That's 2 votes. Get more votes and we could add this as a stretch goal. Please help spread the word.
  
  Thanks

  @Li: Yes it does support Chinese characters and including apps etc.
37. Creator Daniel Apolinario 3 days ago
  
  Follow up question.
  1.) Im pretty sure many minimalist would like a metal watch that is color black. Like sony smartwatch 2. Is that possible?
38. Creator Li Wing Yeung 3 days ago
  
  Hi Vak,
  I would like to ask if Rock supports Chinese characters, including apps and notifications.
  Thanks!
39. Creator Daniel Apolinario 3 days ago
  
  1.) Is the usb charge smartwatch also ip67? You dont have a picture of the covered port.
  
  2.) How can we pledge for qi battery smartwatch without qi charger so it would be cheaper?
  
  3.) Do you mean the sports smartwatch means its all composite plastic even the watch itself?
40. Creator Vak Sambath 3 days ago
  
  @Anurag: Rockin Sports is a composite plastic. The Sports Metal Rock is a metal case housing with a silicone plastic. I hope this helps.

  i don't find the metal band style very appealing... i'm hoping the production version of the "SPORTS METAL ROCK" looks as nice as the renderings.

  @JohnProffer: 1) We actually do respect you asking these tough questions. I think it helps the community. In terms of the company... well...I'd love to buy you some IN-N-OUT....from Cali. We can hang out at our office. Foosball? Of course it is duck taped because we can't afford a new one. No seriously :) Hopefully we get funded and then we'll all celebrate together... our address is also listed on the Rock LLC.

  Vak,
  
  I also want to get at least 4 more Rocks to give as gifts and keep one for myself.
  
  Please let us know when Kickstarter gets back.
  
  Thanks!

  Hi Jason
  
  Fortunately, the Kickstarter community made us aware that we were missing reward two. You can change your pledge from #1 to #2.. also I'm going to ask Kickstarter if the backers can pledge to two or more pledges. That's an interesting concept because some backers would want to keep a unit and give it as gifts at the same time.
  
  Cheers,
  Vak

  Hey Vak I just saw the early bird special #2. Is it possible to place an order for #1 and #2? I wanna give the Sports Rock as a gift and keep the Sports Metal for myself.
  
  Also another question.. are all the apps available in all the Rock smartwatches?
  
  Thanks,
  J
