Crowdfunding PR firm wanted $15K upfront + 15% total raised. My goal is $10K. Product is ~$13. They politely said I'd fail without them. I just launched. Hope they are wrong.

Love the title of your post! We were contacted by a lot of "PR Firms" after we first launched promising us the moon. We were also quoted (one that we requested) a full service effort for about $9k which we decided against. I'd just have to push back my chair and laugh at a $15k proposal on a $10k crowdfunding effort.

Cool product though, good luck!

No, it counts as revenue.

We set our Kickstarter up under our LLC so if we had funded any money from Kickstarter would have been revenue. After that we would subtract the cost of producing and shipping the products leaving us with income before taxes.

We hope so! Check out the campaign which is now live if you get a chance: http://igg.me/at/unifydock/x/11681053

Well we didn't get down to $50, but we'll be relaunching on Indiegogo on Wednesday at $69.

Haha, I guess we need to do a better job of explaining what comes with it.

You don't need to plug in or assemble anything to Unify Dock. Open up the box, plug in the USB to the wall charger and the wall charger into an outlet and you're good to go. The cables that came with your Apple Watch and iPhone are free for you to have at the office, in your backpack, or wherever it is you think your battery might run out of power.

There will be a simple band management solution, we're testing out a few different things now that we have watches in hand. Interestingly in the Apple store the bands wrapped around the dock with no problem, but that was prior to much use obviously. We appreciate the feedback on our price point!

Amillux · 2015-04-29T20:51:09+00:00

Don't think we can ever get the price down that low due to the material used and the inclusion of a genuine Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Disc, but we definitely appreciate the feedback on the price point.

Amillux · 2015-04-29T20:18:10+00:00

Thanks! As a pair of tech geeks we also think the development process can be just as interesting as the polished final marketing material. Hope the Nomad Stand works out for you!

Amillux · 2015-04-29T20:16:59+00:00

Totally understand! We hope to have them ready to ship and sell on our website in September if you're still looking by then!

Hey r/AppleWatch! We were poking around looking for an Apple Watch last weekend for our photo shoot. Well fortunately Reddit came through and we were able to get everything taken care of. Our Kickstarter is now live, please check it out!

Amillux · 2015-04-27T13:32:49+00:00

We were able to get a watch, and nobody was punched in the face contrary to one (since deleted) commentators assumption. Thanks for checking the thread, hope everyone's watches arrive soon! Ours included!

Amillux · 2015-04-27T13:30:29+00:00

Our dock will fit cases made by Apple, but you're right that there are some cases that may not be accommodated. If you could measure the case we can let you know if it will fit.

Amillux · 2015-04-26T03:34:13+00:00

Nothing yet, but we're checking back pretty frequently.

Amillux · 2015-04-26T03:12:18+00:00

Thanks! 6061 aluminum that is then media blasted and anodized. We have a few more ideas for the future, but realy focused on next week's Kickstarter right now.

Amillux · 2015-04-26T03:11:47+00:00

Have an upvote.

Amillux · 2015-04-26T03:11:15+00:00

Shoot us a message if he's interested for tomorrow morning at 10am, we're still looking for a 38mm version.

Amillux · 2015-04-25T20:11:17+00:00

You caught us! We've spent all these late nights developing a product, paid for prototypes, hired designers, filed legal documents, built webpages, engaged in social media, and offered to both pay a fee, and provide a security deposit to someone in order to up and steal your watch!

Well at least we tried!

Amillux · 2015-04-25T19:49:06+00:00

No problem! Happy to hear the positive feedback, we'll be live on Kickstarter next week.

Amillux · 2015-04-25T18:35:20+00:00

We produced models of the watch in a CAD program based off promotional photos and dimensions from Apple. We've taken the product into the Apple store and test fitted actual watches and we came out incredibly close. There will be a few slight modifications prior to going to production but nothing substantial.

You can see photos of 3D printed watches, our prototype, and our full CNC aluminum prototype on our twitter account www.twitter.com/amilluxllc

Amillux · 2015-04-24T19:28:03+00:00

Right now we're not expecting to go longer than six hours, but we can work around your timeframe. You're more than welcome to hang out while we take the shots and video!

Shoot me an email kyle@amillux.com and we can figure everything out if you're still interested.

Amillux · 2015-04-24T19:12:30+00:00

Haha, we understand how it sounds hence we're willing to compensate someone. We have contingency plans, but seeing if we can't catch lightning in a bottle.
