      Aloha!

      We're still waiting on images from the manufacturer for the 42mm with the date function. As we have said, we will post an update as soon as we have more information.

      Mahalo!

      Hey guys....
      Any more updates on the 42mm with date? Very interested, as that's the one I chose :-)
      Thanks

      I kid...actually, you and I are pretty much on the same page on this.

      Creator N.H. on April 26

      NFNT,

      I have to say that there is some confusion as to why you have not provided an updated picture of watch faces with the new placement of the date. The following is an extract from your last update:

      "... The watches are indeed in production! However, we have hit a slight set back, and the delivery of the watches could be postponed up to four weeks. To be honest, the jump from prototyping to production takes longer, and is much more rigorous than we envisioned (all you project creators out there know what we're talking about).

      As a company, we chose to put the quality ahead of the speed of delivery.

      While this will upset some of our backers, we feel it is the only decision. We had to go through several rounds of test watches on the production line before starting the full scale production, and to be honest, we're happy that we took the extra precautions. It's going to lead to a much better product ending up in on your wrist."

      Given that you completed several test rounds and are currently in final production, I can not understand how you don't have a picture of what the new watch face looks like. This is especially true since you have someone actually at the manufacturer.

      Please provide a better explanation as this does not make sense to me and I am getting quite concerned. I tried sending you a direct message several days ago but have not received a response to it so i am not sure if you are monitoring those. I can only assume that something is missing in the information we have. Again, please clarify how you can be in production but still not be able to provide a picture.

      Thanks...

      You guys really are the rock stars of KS!

      In 94 projects I have backed, I can honestly say this has been the best at communicating, being transparent and respecting your backers.

      I will wait for the watch, I appreciate the quality you are putting in this, and applaud you for your hard work, and for making the tough decisions.

      Keep up the good work, and the updates.

      MAHALO

      I like both projects and the differences between them. I also own a we-wood watch, which has existed way longer than either if these. I like watches and kickstarter so I'd back pretty much any watch related project. Has it been stated here the projected shipping dates? Hopefully not as disappointingly long as the e-pebble is taking. Or the dreaded zyre. Anyway, I'd also like to find out if I can pay for and order the original backer case back? I've been thinking about it alot over the last few weeks. Thanks.

      Creator Paul C. on March 10

      NFNT, just the fact that you sent an update at this point without a hundred requests in the comments asking for one says everything about how well you have and will continue to run your project. And I loved your "No, we didn't just run off with you're money" comment. That's what backers are always thinking.

      So many KS projects could keep backers calm and happy with the simplest of updates just once a week. "Everything still on schedule folks....."

      Keep up the great communication.

      I own multiple high end watches, and adding the NFNT watch is highly anticipated. I like the look of the OGs, but there is something about an ALL WOOD watch! Good work Gents!

    28. Ra66itz.small

      Creator ra66itz on March 5

      I know it's hard to discuss taste of style, but those OG Watches are not well designed in my opinion. They look like what I imagine a rich kid in a country club would wear to display his eco-friendliness and understatement. It reminds me of first class airlines interior design which are often over designed and display a crude mix of materials. I had to get this of my chest.

    29. Nfnt-ks-profile-pic.small

      Creator NFNT on March 4

      Kris, your last comment is exactly why we pursued the design we did. About 9 months ago we played around with the same design they have, and decided against it, for the very reason you stated. We're glad you like the Big Face Woody, and we can't wait to get it on you wrist! This watch is truly comfortable to wear all day long, and we know you'll love it. Thanks for the support!

      Mahalo!

      Creator Kris Lo on March 4

      Hi Ryan/NFNT,

      I absolutely agree with everything you said. The products, while having similar approach, are different enough that I think they compliment each other more than anything.

      But their KS video, page and pictures are embarrassingly obviously that they totally stole NFNT's ideas. Definitely not cool.

      I too prefer the Woody over the OG offerings. I love the fact that the Woody is a wood watch and not a conventional watch with some wood elements.

    31. Nfnt-ks-profile-pic.small

      Creator NFNT on March 4

      Kris, we never said their design was ripped off from us. From the sounds of it, they started working on their watch right around the same time we started ours. We're excited to see another wood watch be successful. It proves that we were right in claiming that their is a market for it. Plus, their going after a different niche within the market, one we decided to not initially pursue, so they aren't even a direct competitor at this point.

      What we did say is that they ripped off our content, meaning they copied a lot of our video, copy and pasted much of our writing, and even copied the black and white photo with only the watch in color. Which you clearly agree with. It's just sad to see a company with the word "original" in their name be so unoriginal.

      We're not going to sit here and say who's better, and we're not saying they copied our watch design. Two different products seeking two different niches within the same market. Once again, the success of both projects speaks to the potential for wood watches, and we like that! We're just rather disappointed that a company would do something so low. So we decided to take it the same way Tim said it, that it's the highest form of flattery and move on. We really don't think any more discussion is necessary on it.

      When did a successfully funded Kickstarter project page become the marketing channel for other projects? Haha.

      Folks,
      If you would like an exotic wooden pen to complement your great NFNT Big Face Woody, check out:
      http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/790259565/the-australian-collection
      I am not affiliated with that project (just a regular backer), but thought folks might appreciate the designs and the beautiful wood choices.
      Enjoy !

    33. Missing_small

      Creator Kris Lo on March 3

      Truth be told I'm not sure of the OG watches really copied that many of NFNT's ideas, I'd imagine they had started the planning and designing process prior to the Woody's KS campaign since these things takes longer than a month to design and build a prototype (at least I'd imagine it would).

      Probably just 2 good ideas coming into fruition at the same time.

      Their KS video is a total ripoff though lol.

      I bought 3 Woodies (2 are gifts) and have pledge for 3 OG watches (keeping one for myself), the Woody and the OG are different styles and should compliment each other nicely. I'm glad there are 2 to choose from, although I definitely wouldn't want to see everybody having a wood watch lol.

    34. Nfnt-ks-profile-pic.small

      Creator NFNT on March 2

      Nicholas, that's a very interesting idea. We're going to look more into that. We are also working on offering more colors for our fans to choose from.

      Mahalo!

    35. Missing_small

      Creator Nicholas Murray on March 2

      I definitely prefer the Woody over the OG range. I remember a while ago people were asking about different colours. Being made of bamboo, would it be possible for people to easily, dye/stain/paint their own watches? If so, the customisation potential could be a good selling point.

    36. Missing_small

      Creator Thomas Garza on March 1

      I love the Woody (he he), but I also thought the OG Rosewood was really good looking.

      Creator NFNT on February 28

      You're absolutely right Tim, and we're taking it as a compliment! Our official company slogan is "powerful beyond measure" but we definitely need a tagline along the lines of what you recommended for our watches.

      Mahalo!

    39. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Tim on February 28

      Highest form of flattery and all that. You need a slogan, I can picture it now etched onto the box...

      "Save a tree, wear a Woody"

      Creator NFNT on February 28

      Tim, did you notice how much of our content they copied? Not very original. Haha. And we are confident you will like our boxes even more. But we want it to be a surprise, so we'll let you discover the packaging when you get it! We're also glad you're on our team. We really appreciate all of the support.

      Hey NFNT, I filled out my survey, but just before I did that I realized that I wished I had pledged for one more watch as a gift for someone close to me. I'm wondering when I will be able to order another watch as I'd still like to get one more as a gift.

      Thanks.

      Creator NFNT on February 27

      We're still waiting on about 300 surveys. This will slightly delay beginning production. However, we should still be able to deliver on time. Mahalo!

      survey filled out first day received. hopefully shipment wont be delayed. i have backed a few projects with promise dates delayed for quite a while and had to request refund. i hope this will not be one of them.

      Creator NFNT on February 26

      N.H., Todd, and Jim - Thanks for your input! We totally overlooked the "every field is required" part. Sorry about that! We should have done it as a multiple choice question with N/A as an option.

      Mahalo!

    47. Images.small

      Creator Jim L on February 26

      @N.H. and @Todd B. Yes you are both correct. To process the survey, every field needs to have something filled in it. If it doesn't apply you can put what N.H. put in or just put "NA" if that field does not apply to you. And it is a KS thing. I have done a few KS here and they all have the same survey issue.

    48. Profile_pic.small

      Creator Todd B. on February 26

      @N.H., good point. The "every field requires an answer" is a Kickstarter "issue" and there is nothing each project can do about that except make note of this behavior in their survey instructions.

    49. Missing_small

      Creator N.H. on February 26

      @NFNT thanks for the quick reply. I just completed the survey and noticed there is a minor bug. Even though I answered "No" to the shirt add-on, it insisted that I put a response in the Shirt size field. I put in "Not applicable." so that I could submit. Not sure if you can fix this now. If not, perhaps just send a quick update letting folks know so that they don't have problems completing the survey (especially given the quick turnaround you need). Thanks and best of luck !
