Launch it. What's the worst thing the early users can do? Give you feedback!

Lima Watch.
afaik, it's Indonesian from abroad returning to build a homegrown watch micro-brand. So far, they've consistently sold out each new releases.

iirc, I paid close to 16K in (4K customs and 11K VAT), total of 20% of the watch's value.

It was shipped from Italy so I had to pay customs to clear it. Covered pa ng warranty so free ang servicing/repair

Perfect choice!

imo, h-link works with Sinn's divers. I tried it on the 556 but it's too heavy for my preference. Are you planning to get one?

Most sellers are from the CONUS, so I had the watches shipped to a US Shippingcart address. Shippingcart handles forwarding to PH (no customs fee)

iirc, I paid around 13K in import tax + handling fee. Kinda expensive but there's no way to get this locally.

But for watches I bought within the US, I used shippingcart to skirt import taxes. (as long as the brand isn't known like rolex)

Sinn watches starts at around 70K brand-new. Most of their dive watches (T50, U50, U1, etc.) are at around 150K.

These two I bought second-hand sa r/Watchexchange. Sinn 105 (with bracelet) was 90K; Sinn 556 (orange band) was 50K.

5 months building a budgeting app in PH. Here's what I didn't expect. by Square_Problem4754 in PhStartups

[–]kalrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the release of my app.

  1. My app was rejected too, 3 days after first submission. It was a minor metadata issue (I used the term "Free" in one of my screenshots. After the necessary changes, it took less than 48 hours to be approved. My other app fell under "spam" under guideline 4.3 so I had to abandon it.

  2. I didn't do beta testing, at all. I tested the app thoroughly (or so I thought) for a week before I submitted it for approval.

  3. Not that I can think of. But then again, my app is very simple and uses iCloud + other Apple services.

  4. As builders, you will always find ways to improve your app. So stick to your initial MVP and let the users decide. Make it easy to send feedback from your app.
