Click - What's the obsession?

[TypeMRT]

just got an email saying mine shipped. feels like I am going to be upset, I already got just about every kind of band I wanted anyways.

I just got my shipping email too. Unfortunately, I just ordered adapters from eBay. On top of that, I've moved recently so I'm counting on the post office to forward the package.
I'm looking forward to comparing the two spring bar adapters. I'm not a fan of the Apple OEM style, but that might be the only reliable choice.

 

[oftheheavens]

finally got mine.

adaptor color matches fairly well and looks good but they do move a fair bit back and forth which is why some photos seem to have them sticking out, because they do depending on how you lay your wrist...

bands are eh... the "sport leather" feels like a girly version of fake rubber/leather. the regular leather (or classic or whatever they call them) are i guess decent quality but are so thick they over power the watch and are a little uncomfortable to wear. I am assuming they will break in but if that happens they will be to loose because I followed their fitting guide and have to use the tightest slot and it still has the watch move a little which I don't care for.

I have enough spring bars to become a watch band maker, I am assuming that this is because of how easily they are going to pop out as during normal use. This could just be my go to feeling because I am pissed about the last and most important thing...

When I ordered this back in 1998 or whenever the first apple watch adaptor or whatever was announced I ordered it only because I wanted a nice link bracelet that was the same color as the watch and I wanted it with the click style adaptor. Well they sent me a silver one instead of space gray... So I got a total of 5 space gray adaptors and a silver link bracelet. what the heck...

Sent an email but from what I have read I may never hear from them so guess it is time to start looking for a good metal band to go with this abundance of click adaptors I now have...

quality of adaptors 8/10
quality of bands (that were the ones I ordered) 5/10
quality of whatever clicks company name is 3/10

If I had to do over I wouldn't have spent the 55 bucks and just bought one adaptor and the correct link. Btw got a great color matched space gray link from the hoko or whatever the company is that was going around

Y'all are still ahead of me. Not even shipping notification yet.

 

[TypeMRT]

My 3 adapters and 2 bands arrived. I ordered all space grey but 1 stainless mistakenly arrived. The space grey color is very close. The quality is mixed: only 1 set fits flush with the watch, and the other sets stick out a bit (like you've seen in other pics). The navy sports leather band is thin and lightweight. I'd be surprised if it lasted through more than a year of daily use and that's fine. The color is just what I wanted. It is dark while not being so dark that you'd think it's just black. The space grey stainless steel band is nice enough too. It's 3 links wide and the ends of the middle link are polished to provide contrast to the brushed finish of the rest of the band. The color is lighter (more gunmetal) than the space grey adapters.
All things considered it's probably worth the $40 I paid if the adapters last as long as I have the watch. (The shipping delays were ridiculous, period.) I only plan on keeping the 3 leather, metal, and sport bands in rotation to minimize wear-and-tear on the spring bars. I'm not a fan of the Apple bar-style adapters and so far I've only seen one other company make spring bar adapters.
Good luck to everyone still waiting.

UPDATE: after further review today, only some of my adaptors stick out and wiggle back and forth. Come to find out if you flip them over they fit perfectly!..... oh but wait, how in the hell do I flip over little buttons so that the adaptors will actually "click" into the watch? Anyone know?

Lots of people are reporting that the Clicks "fit" better upside down and theorize that they were built upside down! The company is not returning emails, their phone # doesn't work. There is a news reporter in Rochester who wants to do a follow up story on this fiasco and is looking to speak with someone who is local about their experience with Click!

 

[Mascots]

My fingers are crossed, but things are looking pretty bleak right now.

 

[Goalieed]

I got my adapters and bands. I can see little imperfections, but figure at around $10 a unit for the adaptor and metal bands I got a fair value.

I got 3 space gray and one white adaptor. Since I ordered one of the metal stainless bands and 2 of the metal grey/black bands it worked out great for me.

If I had to guess, these guys weren't specific enough with their manufacturing specs, and ended up with a subpar product. I imagine they've already spent the majority of money with little buffer, which puts them in a tough spot. They're going to have a very difficult timing fixing this, if they're able to at all.

There's no way that they don't know the issues at this point. So the fact that they're still ending them out knowing they're backwards indicates to me that they don't have the money to fix this and are hoping people will just eventually give up on complaining and they can fade away.

Their initial excitement makes me think that they actually do care, but are in way over their heads. It takes more than money to make a successful product. You also need experience and expertise, especially if you're manufacturing overseas.

Finally got my shipping confirmation. I just hope I get lucky lol

I know it was a kickstarter but can't help but feel ripped off.

I got mine last week. I got two sets of space grey aluminum adapters and two space grey steel bands. I couldn't be more happy with them. The bands and the adapters match the space grey body of the watch so well that it looks like it came from the factory. They aren't loose at all.

That give me hope! I figure by the time Apple releases the next version of the watch I might have a tracking number.

Got 4 pairs and the fit are absolutely horrendous with my watch. Other's comments are apt... they fit better when inserted upside down however don't click into place.

It's been fun watching this train wreck... I'd say I got more value out of that than the actual delivered product because 'meh' is being generous. (I know I'm a bad person for enjoying the failure of another, I'm ok with this.)

With how poorly they fit I won't end up wearing them because it totally detracts from the clean lines of the watch.

Update: I ordered a set of spring bar adapters from freedomoclock09 on eBay for $11. They are 24mm (instead of Click's 22mm), fit perfectly, but are black instead of space grey. I also tried a Platinum brand metal watch band from Best Buy. It's the best so far. The fit and color match what I'd expect from Apple. The adapter is only sold with the $40 band. Maybe another reseller will figure where Best Buy is sourcing these adapters and sell them separately.

I finally got my click adapters. Yup not as lucky. The fit is so so I am not so picky but for others it would be horrible. But I like the 22mm band on my wrist better than the 24mm. It just makes the watch face a little bigger, which I like.


With that said yes I will be using my adapters. As a matter of fact if anyone is not going to use their adapters I will be more than happy to trade my 3rd party leather loop. I have a red, blue and Gray. I'm looking for space gray 42mm clicks.

I'd like to trade. Check your PM.

Still waiting for my space black adapters...... I was suppose to have these months ago and I don't even want them now, what a joke.

 

[oftheheavens]

Now there is a "free" replacement program for "those not satisfied" haha. So pretty much if you notice that the messed up real bad they will send you the correct ones. Now, how long will it take to get the good ones?

I signed up for the replacement today so we shall see

I left a comment after that update. How the Ell do I know if I need the replacement program when I haven't gotten my order yet?!

I'm thinking that they knew about the crappy first shipments and told their manufacturers. The second batch should be different I hope so if your order hasn't shipped yet more than likely you will get the improved version rather than the crap version so you would not need a replacement. But that's just what I think.

One would hope this would be the case. For some reason they continued to ship out bad versions well after it was known that the fit was bad.

These kids are getting a good lesson in starting a business. There's a lot more to it than having a good idea and money.

I wonder if they're not being straight forward because they're trying to hide under a rock a little, or if someone is actually advising them to act this way.
