What will be your competitive advantage when...** - Hi Dilraj, This is a great question and glad to see you are thinking about this space with such detail and knowledge. In attempt to keep this as brief as possible please responses below to your questions: Are you concerned that the iwatch version 2.0, in conjunction with their ever increasing apps, may disrupt chronos' current advantage as a smartwatch device for every watch? Chronos: No, The apple watch is a platform that has two main disadvantages we solve for: 1. You have to buy into Apple... 3. **I understand it's early days, but what has the early feedback from users been? Would be very interested in hearing direct feedback that you have accumulated.** - Thanks for the question Andrew. The feedback's been great so far. We knew people would love the discreetness of our device by letting them keep their watch and track their fitness, but what people are really enjoying are the filtered notifications. Unique, personalized notifications for just the things your care about is what really resonates with our users. For a good first person review, check out the Hodinkee article above as well. 4. **Who are your main competitors. And if most people are carrying smart phones nowadays with all options why would one feel the need for this or a smart watch** - Thanks Harish - check some other responses for your competition question. Regarding your second questions, we believe Chronos will be enormously successful for a host of reasons. Chronos lets you track your steps and activity throughout the day even if you're not carrying your phone with you. Chronos also lets you stay more engaged with your day to day activities - by filtering your notifications from you phone down to just the things you care about with unique vibrations and optional light p... 5. **In which markets you are selling presently and what are your plans for overseas markets?** - Harish - thanks for the question.

We will be in retail in the US in the late spring next year, followed by retail locations internationally thereafter. ## Team - Mark Nichol (CEO) - Luke Fromowitz (CTO) ## Q&A - Q: Are there any spy features such as voice recording? - Q: I see most information posted here from 2016. Where can I find information on the strides the company has been making to push forward in recent years? - Q: Is this company still in operation, Wefunder???? - Q: Is this company still active? - Q: Any mid year updates for investors? - Q: Is it possible to still invest in your company. I am a small investor and wishing with wefunder or should I ask refunder. Great product, and you are actually correct about wanting a device (watch - other then apple watch which I am wearing now) that can inform you specifically to the information that is critical on a everyday scale, from family to business which are critical. - Q: Hello, My name is miss laura, i saw your profile and it drew my attention to write to you. I would like you to communicate me through my e-mail address (sgt.lauraralph2@gmail.com) laura - Q: Will a future device contain a heart rate monitor? Thanks. - Q: Random Feedback from Facebook: "Chronos is now set to ship mid-October. Why were we need not made aware of this sooner? The fact that the company waited until the day of their self imposed deadline to tell us this is beyond questionable. Time is running out (no pun intended). If this device isn't perfect..I fear this will be the end for Chronos." - Q: When are you releasing the product? You've already missed two delivery deadlines including today. Your customer service is horrendous with regards to updates. Honestly, Mark~your early adopters are not feeling the love.. What with the missed deadlines... August got pushed to 9/12 and now you're saying mid October...and we get this notification on the current deadline? Quite frankly I've lost confidence in your ability to deliver. I did not pay for excuses and I'm demanding a refund. Great idea but poor execution and customer service. You might want to listen to your dissatisfied customers on facebook. - A: Hi Edsel - we're sending an update now. Look out for it shortly. Thanks - Mark - Q: Hi. One of the features I love on my Fitbit blaze is constant HRM data. Is this a feature you will be adding to Chronos? Thanks Linda - Q: Do you have a patent of any kind on this product? - A: Hi Faram - yes, we have been issued utility and design patents globally. Thanks for the question! - Q: Any progress updates? - Q: I'm very interested in your company. Are you currently seeking investors? - Q: Hi Mark, just curious as to whether there is an update on the launch of Chronos 1.0. Thanks.
