See all of your stats without scrolling
The flexible e-ink display allows us to position the screen around the wrist rather than straight on top of it. This results in a bigger screen size and right view angle so that you can easily see your time, messages, and sports stats even in full sunlight. It also uses 50% less energy than common LCD screens.

Why Indiegogo?
After a year of development, we are proud to announce that the iStick Playtime is ready to move into its production and accreditation phase. We have all the suppliers lined up and ready to run!
indiegogo allows us to engage with our early adopters at this critical phase of our project. Making sure that we are designing what our core users want from the iStick Playtime and making them part of the decision making process. This is why we need your help. To build the ultimate smart watch for sports and fitness!
Where will the funds go?
We need $250,000 to get the product from its current prototype state to its commercial state. The costs include software programming, apps development, product certifications, licenses and minimum product inventory. Since the electronics we are using are new to the market, there are high minimum levels required from our part suppliers. All of these factors make the first batch of products very costly to produce. This is why we need your help.
What are the risks and challenges associated with the project?
While our company has successfully brought to market a first generation of iStick armbands for iPhone using flexible electronic components with less than 3% product return rate over three years, every new project contains a number of risks and challenges:
Challenges:
There exists no product on the market using the prescribed flexible electronic components within a textile material. We are the first to pioneer in this direction which does represent the challenge of working in uncharted territory. This is what makes this exciting and why we need your help!
Risk:
Indiegogo customer should be aware that there exists a gap between a prototype version of a product and a production unit. While we have undergone a thorough engineering feasibility regarding the production of the unit, there may be some unforeseen elements that may affect its development. If these should arise, we will communicate with you.
In manufacturing our product, we are relying on a number of suppliers for parts and final assembly. Delays in the delivery of a part or defects attributed to a part can delay the estimated delivery date of the product.
Also, there are a number of certifications and licenses which we must obtain to have the product ready for retail. While we have dealt with Apple licenses and other certifications for our other products, there are always uncertainties as to the time frames associated with obtaining final accreditations from these authorities.
Understanding these risks is an important part of making your decision on this Project. We will do our best to promptly answer to any of your concerns.
