Hi Everyone!

We are a new watch brand called Sasqwatch Co. The name and product came from Sasquatch, who just like us was born in the Pacific Northwest and was unique and hard to find - until now! Our project came from the desire to have a minimal, high quality watch but to avoid the retail mark ups that are so prevalent in the market. We worked hard and developed a watch that has genuine leather straps, a full stains steel case, a high quality Quartz movement, and all for under $100.

This is our first kickstarter project, and we are excited to be almost 50% funded only one week into our campaign! Please check us out at http://bit.ly/Sasqwatchco (or https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/18 ... =discovery) and see what you think. Feel free to leave feedback, advice, questions, or anything you deem relevant. I am open to answering questions or receiving feedback! Thanks so much! Very happy to have places like this where we can share our projects with people who understand what you are going through!

Could you post the full kickstarter url? I can't see it from the link you gave...

No problem! I think you're going to make the goal and can see you've spent alot of time on the campaign page as well as putting it together.

If you want my comments, I think the campaign page needs some "tweaks" like:
- The video mentions the quality materials, but there's no photos of the watch being put together, I think this would help alot.
- Skim reading, are you an actual company or just two individuals
- What happens next after, any more other watches?
- I'd love to see a tier for a limited solid gold ($1000?) watch, you've got less expensive ones, but why not offer an expensive one
- Can the watches be customised? Engraved with a name on? Get replacement straps later on? There's many points to add...

I've helped to market an Apple Watch strap campaign and a deluxe watch campaign, so if you need help marketing and finding certain "influencers" let me know via the link below.

All the best!

That's a really nice looking watch. I like the sift square shape. I think i'll hint to my wife as a Christmas present for myself.

I can't see too much wrong with your campaign. The $55 early bird price is very tempting.
The one thing that caught my attention was the "we are heavily relying on kickstarter to fund this project" line, perhaps could project a bit of doubt. However you come across as honest, passionate and the watch speaks for itself.

I'm happy to share it on my twitter.
Good luck with the remainder of the campaign. Keep grinding away.

Stephen

Thanks for checking our page out and for the feedback giftsandcoupons and Stephen! It is always helpful getting new eyes on the page!

Stephen: we would love to have you share it on twitter! Getting the word out is most important but hey if you want one for xmas too we wouldn't complain :)! And thanks for pointing out the link to Facebook, it definitely goes to instagram. We will fix that.

Giftandcoupons: Great feedback for us. We are working on an about us to add to our campaign page and our website. We have had a few feedbacks on that. It is just me and my husband doing everything so we will point that out about being a small group.

Love all your ideas about what happens next! We were focused mainly on what we have now and have ideas of what is next but definitely a good idea to share it with the community.

Thanks again to you both! We appreciate it
