They don't have a great track history as creators.
Just smashing two different styles next to each other isn't the same thing as blending them together seamlessly.
If this thing started beeping at me to wake me up, I'd end up breaking the top cover (the one that has to be taken off to adjust the time or whatever) in no time flat. This does not seem built to last.
The pledge level for this product is ridiculously steep, particularly for something that lacks a pleasing aesthetic and durable design.

Prototype seems to be ready, so could be delivered.
Good looking with a rustic and nostalgic feel to it.
Small and portable and durable materials used.
one word - Expensive.

They have a previous project for Nixie Tube watches call Nyx, which hasn't completely fulfilled and many sent out are faulty. This and the fact they have changed their company name to avoid association with their previous project is dodgy. Would not back at all.
I like the look but don't like the blue light for Bluetooth indicator because it interferes with sleep. Also not sure they can make it without faults like their previous project.
Note sure.
Expensive, especially with the risks involved.

Nothing seems particularly risky
Functional and aesthetically pleasing, can appreciate even without it being to my taste
No mention, but using equipment that would otherwise go unused at least
Looks cool, seems like a good value for those interested in this style

Not a huge fan, but still cool idea
