We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on August 20, 2012.

On Schedule & Here's One of the Big Reasons Why...

Update #10 · Aug 30, 2012 · 10 comments

Hi All,

It's been a busy and very productive 9 days since STRATA was successfully funded. Thank you again!

From the beginning of our Kickstarter project our goal has been to ship STRATA to our "early mover" backers in September; and we're on schedule. These watches are being manufactured and are scheduled to go out during the last week in September.

Our Kickstarter surveys will be going out to you soon. This survey is where you will get to choose a color (if you haven't already) and provide your shipping address and other information we need. We'll update you when the survey goes out so you can check your spam box.

Projects like STRATA don't happen overnight - nor do they happen without the help from important partners. And, in this regard, we are happy to formally announce MetaWatch becoming the newest member of PCH International's Accelerator Program.

PCH is the "partner behind-the-scenes" responsible for consumer electronics accessories for some of the world's most successful brands. Being a part of PCH's Accelerator Program will add to our resources and help us to accelerate the development of new MetaWatch innovations.

Thank you for your pledge and support,

Bill Geiser
CEO, MetaWatch

      hi
      everytime Apple updates its IOS, does metawatch requires a new firmware to update as well?

      Just out of curiosity, on the Android side, are you working with any of the more popular 3rd party Exchange programs (Touchddown, Moxier Mail) or POP/Gmail, to ensure full compatibility in terms of notifications and things like unread email count?

      This would be awesome to actually get it when we are supposed to! I have backed several products and none have been on time. I am in need of a new watch and can't wait until it arrives!
      Thanks so much for all your hard work getting this product done! :)
