Something about them is just not meshing... not sure what, maybe too much going on. The caseback is really cool though.

Message from creator regarding the campaign:

We are down but not out!

Guy Roebuck
July 20, 2021

It looks like we're not going to hit our funding goal. We put so much into promoting the campaign and everyone who saw the Scuba was wowed by it, so it's perplexing to say the least why it didn't continue strongly after the great start.

We are certainly not giving up—the Scuba is a refreshing design in a sea of dive watch look-alikes. To that end we are going to move to pre-orders directly on our website. Pre-orders will give us greater flexibility over a Kickstarter campaign.

We would certainly appreciate it if you guys would continue to back the Scuba. As it stands now, with the pledges received, we would be able to get manufacturing underway.

We need to do a bit of research to see what issues prevented people from backing us, therefore we will need a short period to get the pre-order set up.

We really want you guys to get your hands on a Scuba, and if you could send us an email to info@roebuckwatchco letting us know you will come over to the pre-order, and that you were a backer. Pre-orders are different from a Kickstarter and we will only be offering the same campaign deal to backers, i.e. pricing and free shipping.

Great news to finish - we have considered the feedback on not having a bracelet—so many people wanted one. We are going to offer a bracelet, at a small additional charge, as an option on the pre-order.

They haven't opened preorder directly yet, but you can visit the Scuba page at Roebuck's site here:

https://www.roebuckwatchco.com/scuba


They also have a subpage for their previous KS backers:

https://www.roebuckwatchco.com/scuba-backers

To Our KS Backers:

We want to start by saying thank you. Although we didn't reach our goal through the platform we still plan on making the Scuba a reality and offering it at an exclusive pre-order price.

We appreciate that you have been with us from the start, and we won't soon forget! For those who haven’t reached out and want to join in on the pre-order, please submit your name, email, country, and any messages you may have so that we can make sure you are in the loop regarding our pre-order.​

And again, thank you for your support!

We will provide updates on the price tiers and be as transparent as possible with quantities.
