I have too many watches, but this Teal beauty is talking to me.

My watch arrived today.

Several issues: An admittedly sloppy bezel for all those shipped out before the 15th. I paid for an extra bezel insert. It was not shipped with the watch. And the deal breaker: the chapter ring is misaligned.

I intend to return it for credit rather than an exchange. Too bad, since the teal dial is sweet and the watch is light and well-sized.

I am so over Kickstarter watches. Too many problems, too troublesome to resolve them.

Sorry to hear that.

There's still some good eggs out there. But maybe wait until folks get delivery or a second model before jumping in next time.
