Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: Isotope Watches - Goutte d’Eau dive watch
Still some way to go for funding this, I'm not sure it'll be successful which is a shame because for the spec and the look the watch is quite a bargain.
Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: Isotope Watches - Goutte d’Eau dive watch
So very tempted.... does anyone know the anti mag rating of this watch!?
Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: Isotope Watches - Goutte d’Eau dive watch
Didn't see anything about it on their campaign.
But perhaps [mention]zmmzmm[/mention] can provide that information?

For all the date window aficionados out there, Isotope is now offering the date window option as soon as they hit their goal.
Any existing pledge is still valid and nothing further needs to be done at the moment.
To simplify the process, they will make a survey asking who prefers a date window dial when the campaign finishes.
Here's what the date versions will look like:

Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: Isotope Watches - Goutte d’Eau dive watch
From another forum:
"ISO 764 standard states that a watch to be antimagnetic must resist a magnetic field of 4800 A/m and its accuracy must stay within +/- 30s/day as measured before the test.
Any modern ETA movement (i.e. 2824) is by itself compliant to ISO 764."
I suppose, if you order the one with the ETA, then it'll be antimag to ISO764. I've also checked other sites that quote the Miyota 9015 reaches the same antimag spec.

Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: Isotope Watches - Goutte d’Eau dive watch
With just over 24 hours to go this has only reached 67% of its goal. Sad really, it had loads of potential.
Jose, the owner of Isotope watches will be contacting all backers with a "Plan B".
I'll update here with any new info.
Edit: The kickstarter has just been cancelled.

Re: CANCELED: Kickstarter: Isotope Watches - Goutte d’Eau dive watch
It looks like there's been minor compromises with the movements for the planned release. It's gone from Miyota 9015 to Seiko NH35 and ETA2824 to SW200-1 respectively.
I've an SW200-1 in my Davosa Argonautic it it keeps time very well, to chronometer standards in fact (albeit not certified).

It's a success! Now taking orders (rather than just pledges).
There are still a few left at the lowest price I think. For the spec, it's still amazing value, especially with the SW200.
