Creator: HOT Smart Watch from PHTL, Plano, Texas
Date funded: 9/7/2013
# backers: 4141
Amount: $616,231

Since the first deadline came and went after successful funding, this business(I use that term loosely) has been dodging questions, ignoring backers emails and requests, and flat out lying to their entire backer community. Every update which are few and far between contain the same misleading language of “we will begin shipping next week” or “in a week or so” or even a specific date for production to start when a week after that date comes and goes they still have nothing to show and refuse to answer any questions. Many backers have lost their confidence in this companies ability to successfully complete this project and are demanding refunds, which in kickstarters FAQ section clearly states the company DOES have the ability to do, yet that’s the only question they actually respond to with a flat out “NO.” It’s clear we’ve been duped, they took the 600k+ and ran. Even if on the off chance a product is completed, the technology has become obsolete and overshadowed by more reputable companies smart watches. I’m sure more of the backers will come forward to voice their discontent as this has become reminiscent of the “ROCK WATCH” fiasco

drmandarin author: No deliveries, no reports of backers receiving tracking information or dispatch confirmation despite claims by the project creator that shipping is underway.

*As of April 23, 2015 people have starting receiving their product, though some are not impressed with the quality.
