UNSUCCESSFUL: Kickstarter: Arcadia Watches - G1.0 Field Watch (Graphene coated case)
Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2019 1:23 pm
This one sounds like a good option for someone looking for a good beater.
Arcadia Watches is coming out with their G1.0 field watch which is the world's first to offer a graphene coated case.

There are no early bird levels, but if you join the Kickstarter, you'll get the graphene version of the field watch for $199. Retail will be $349.
If graphene isn't for you, the stainless steel version is $129 with Kickstarter pricing, going up to $189 for retail.
Arcadia is using “DuraPhene," aproprietary graphene coating, that is fused to the case (inside and out) offering the ultimate case protection.
For those of you, like myself, who are unfamiliar with graphene, here's the skinny from their copy:
In 2010, two researchers from the University of Manchester were awarded the Noble Prize for the graphene discovery. Basically, it is an allotrope of carbon and two dimensional. Here are just a few of its remarkable attributes:
* 200X stronger than steel
* Harder than diamond
* Enhanced corrosion resistance
* Anti-microbial
However, this amazing material is also expensive…around $100/gram. But it provides uber watch protection and, well…it’s just cool. The important thing is that we are now able to offer the Arcadia Field Watch with one of the planet’s strongest materials fused to the watch case. So now, you just might have a watch that is beyond durable and can hold up to Superman!
Here are the specs on both case versions:
