Hi Backers,
Short and sweet update today: Great news! The first batch of new speakers we spoke about on our last update (read it here) have already arrived. 5000 new speaker components have been delivered to our production facilities and and the next two batches will arrive in a couple of days. That being said, we're ready to start our first mass production run of the Meteor.
Our production partners will start firing up their assembly lines on May 9. They'll be working non-stop (including weekends), so that we're on track to churn out the first batch of the Meteors between May 15 to May 20. You can expect to see a comprehensive update including photos and videos on mass production, packaging and shipping as we go through this entire process. We'll be posting this update between May 13 to 15.
Additionally, a lot of you have been inquiring about our FCC certification-- for those of you who are unfamiliar, consumer electronics manufacturers such as ourselves need to file for new applications even for the smallest of changes we make to the hardware. That said, we needed to retract our previous applications the last time we made the changes--the internal layout of the microphone and our speakers and the new speakers themselves-- to address the issues we found that ultimately led us to push our target shipping dates back. While we were at it, we also tweaked the voltage on the Meteor's display which led to vast improvements in brightness and overall clarity on the unit.
We have already filed a new application that encompasses all of these changes and expect to get our certification a few days before May 20. That being said, our FCC ID is 2ABLCKM0001. We'll make sure you guys are the first to know once we get accredited. Surely, the Meteors will be FCC, CE and IC-certified before we ship them out to you.
As always, we appreciate everyone's patience as we work on delivering this project. We're rallying towards the finish line and we honestly can't wait to finally get the final product to you. We remain confident that you will receive a superior product and one of the most functional, if not THE most functional and feature-rich sports-specific watches in the market today.
