Hey LunoWear Supporters!
We are so grateful for amazing positive response we’ve received from this project. We love hearing about how excited you all are for these watches. We can’t wait to get them tickin’ on your wrists!
As we mention on our campaign and in our video, we spent a long time designing these watches. No detail was left untouched. After we got our watch designs exactly how we wanted, we needed to be absolutely sure that they were ready for our backers to enjoy. We spent an ENTIRE YEAR testing our watches to ensure we could stand by them 100%. Every single watch has exceeded our expectations both in quality and design. That was a LONG year to wait but we wouldn't have felt right offering you a watch we hadn't thoroughly tested ourselves. We're proud to say; LunoWear Watches get our stamp of approval!
We hope people are as thrilled with our customer service as they are with our products!
We have one more announcement as well. We are PROUD and EXCITED to announce that each of our watches will come with a ONE YEAR WARRANTY for any manufacturer defects or issues. Our watches are impeccably made and our quality is beyond reproach so we don't anticipate having many issues, but rest assured, if you have any WE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU by repairing and/or replacing your watch. For any non-manufacturer issues, we will work with you on a case-by-case basis to make sure your LunoWear Watch is always tickin'!
For all those who are excited to get their watches, please share that excitement with your friends and family! To the left of our campaign video there are a few ways you can share our campaign (Twitter, email, Google+, or you can copy the link for a Facebook post). With your help we can reach thousands of people. Who wouldn’t want to get an awesome watch and 20% off our products FOR LIFE?
We can’t thank you enough for your support. As always, let us know if you have any questions. We are always willing to do all we can to make sure you’re happy with our service and products.

Hey Backers,
We’ve just passed $100K which means we’ve funded over 1000% of our original goal! We are so grateful for all of your support! We can’t wait to get you your watches!
We wanted to give you a quick update about what we are doing on our end to make sure you your get your watches as soon as possible. We have been in constant communication with our manufacturer since day one of our campaign. We are constantly updating them with the volume of orders we are projecting for the rest of our campaign. Since day one when we hit our goal very quickly, they have been getting everything ready for a large order. We have worked tirelessly to ensure that production will run smoothly.
On our end, we have been formulating a plan to ensure that shipping your rewards will happen in an organized and timely manner.
We want you as backers, supporters and friends to know that we don’t take the trust you have placed in the LunoWear team lightly. We are well prepared to fulfill the large volume of orders we are receiving. We can’t thank you enough for your support.
We have a short 31 days left in our campaign; we would love your continued support in sharing this project with all of your friends and family.
As always, please let us know if you have any questions.

A Look Into The Past
Hey Backers!
We just reached $50K in 5 days! That is amazing! We are so grateful for all of your support in contributing to this project and sharing it with others. We have 40 days left in our campaign and we would love to keep this momentum rolling! Please help us by continuing to share this project. Indiegogo makes it easy for you. On the main page of our campaign, to the left of our video, there are several different share options you can choose from (Facebook, Twitter, Email, Link etc.) Please share where ever you would like. It means so much to us to have such a great support team behind this project that we've put so much time into. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
We wanted to share a special story with you. Many of you may have read the account of my grandfather and great-grandfather in our pitch text. It is quite an incredible story. We recently sat down with Calvin (my grandfather) and asked him to recount his history in the trade of watchmaking.
Please note:
A watchmaker is an artisan who makes and repairs watches. Since a majority of watches are now factory made, most modern watchmakers solely repair watches. My great-grandfather and grandfather specialized in watch repair.
Thank you again for all of your support. Please feel free to messages us anytime with questions or feedback.
With so much gratitude,
Ryan and Bo

Hey Backers,
As the days have passed we have gathered more information.
Some background info: How watch manufacturing works, and now it has worked for the last 30+ years, is when one wants to design a watch, they reach out to a watch manufacture. From there, they design a watch with readily available components (e.g. movement, case, case dimensions, case material, crystal type, band material, band dimensions, hands, face, numbers, dial, bezel etc) and finish it off with their brand logo. This is how the vast majority of watch companies manufacture watches, with the exception of brands like Rolex. They manufacture their own watches, which is in part why they are so expensive. Keep in mind, we are selling ours for $45.
Anyways, this is what we did with my grandfather on board helping us pick quality and reliable components. Unfortunately, when designing a watch with readily available components, anyone (including your manufacturer) can design the same or similar watch. Unfortunately many people, including Kickstarter, didn't take the time to do their homework and claimed we were "scamming" people by buying wholesale watches and reselling them for a profit. NOT THE CASE! We have all the files and information we need to prove otherwise. You'll also notice that you can't find anything similar to many of our other watches.
It is the "same watch" with minor differences. Does this mean Nixon didn't design their watches? No, it means they used readily available components that anyone has access to which inevitably leads to being able to find similar looking watches on the internet.
You can do this same process with ANY watch on kickstarter. If you take a few minutes to look for their watch on the internet, especially Alibaba, you will find their watch. The wood and leather watch industry is much smaller so you will find similar watches easier, but if you look closely for similar steel watches, you'll find them no problem.
This is what the critics of our campaign and Kickstarter failed to understand. All Kickstarter would have had to do is ask and we could have sent them over all our design files and conversations with our manufacture that took place well over a year ago. This is what Indiegogo did and we resolved the issue.
I hope this can clear up some of the misconceptions going around.
