Kickstarter price for the 316L Stainless version is around $180
Regular price will be about $258
Early Bird price for the 904L Stainless version is around $232
Kickstarter price for the 904L Stainless version is around $270
Regular price will be about $386
Estimated delivery is April 2020
From the campaign description:
There are already hybrid smartwatches in the market. But what I want is a connected timepiece that is exactly traditional and classic, without smart info display occupying the dial which is not compulsory to me indeed.
B-Uhr Connected comes in regular 316L version and 904L version. 904L grade stainless steel takes and holds a polish better and has a greater resistance to corrosion, yet demands specialised equipment to manufacture.
Specs:
- Diameter: 42mm
- Lug-to-lug: 50mm
- Lug width: 22mm
- 316L/904 grade brushed stainless steel case
- Heat-treated blue steel hands
- Super-LumiNova coating on hands and indexes
- Double domed sapphire crystal
- 5ATM water-resistant
Connected Movement:
- Gearboxes adapted from Japan Citizen Miyota Quartz Caliber
- Self-replaceable CR2050 button cell battery for 6-12 months use time (depending on usage)
- Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.0
- Mobile App supports Android 4.3+ and iOS 9.0+
- Auto time zone update
- Vibration on messages, calls and alarm clock
- Call reject by gesture or pusher
- Camera shutter by gesture or pusher
- Pedometer
- Sedentary reminder
- Find your phone
- Do-Not-Disturb/Battery Saver mode
As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.
