Hey folks,

I just merged last year’s crowdfunding email list with THIS year’s, so if you haven’t heard from me in a while, let me get you up to speed…

After countless iterations, I’ve finally locked in the new dial—designed specifically for hunters and long-distance shooters—and unleashed it on Reddit and Facebook. Overall, it was really well received. Upvotes on Reddit ranged between 89% and 100% positive, which is pretty amazing, considering how much heat I got last year for that crazy bezel insert…

But as far as I know, no one has ever made a true mechanical ‘Tool Watch’ for the firearm community. There’s a Garmin with ballistic apps, but that’s basically a computer, and F-Class shooters can’t use electronics, so that frees up a few wrists for my watch. (That said, I’m also working on converting my dial into a Garmin digital watch face for those with smartwatches—stay tuned.)

What’s New This Year?

Since we don’t have prototypes yet, I made an informal ‘unboxing video’ of a typical OUTCAST watch to show you the case sets I’m using again this run. The biggest changes:

✔️ PVD BLACK option—finally happening.
✔️ New hand options—for those who don’t like Mercedes hands.
✔️ More strap choices—bracelets, rubber, leather.

For the Seiko Mod guys, yes—you can buy a single dial or a bundle of 3 once they’re available.

Pricing & Discounts

Right now, I expect pricing to be:

• ~$250-$300 depending on the watch and options.

• Dials at ~$30 each, with a discount on 3-packs.

• Best deal: 20% off everything by putting down $5 now.

…but I haven’t gotten a firm quote, we have new tariffs to deal with, etc. so I’m doing my best to keep your price to a minimum.

IMPORTANT: How to Lock in the Discount

The Indiegogo Pre-Launch Page (where you signed up) is supposed to let you put down $5 now to get 20% off later—but some people are reporting issues.

• If you saw the option and skipped it, go back and lock it in now.

• If you didn’t see the payment option, use a desktop instead of a phone.

• I can’t override the system later—Indiegogo tracks this automatically.

This will be a bigger order than last year, and I expect dials and watches to go fast, so don’t wait if you want to secure your spot.

Next Steps

• I’ll be in touch again when I have new news.  Whitelist me.

• If this email caught you off guard, check out THIS PAGE on the website for all the details.

• If you were expecting this email, you probably just signed up—watch the video I made for you TODAY and read through the site to see how we’re basically running the same formula again, but bigger and better.

• If you haven’t put in your downpayment yet, get on a desktop and do it now, because once the crowdfunder launches, that 20% discount disappears.‘Fortune favors the bold’, as they say, so be bold.  I got your back:)

Lastly, I want to ask you to share this email with at least one of your friends.  I am not going to spend a dime on advertising.  If I do, it will just inflate the cost of the watch for you.  So I’m literally counting on you to extend OUR reach.  I’m looking at this more like a ‘group buy’, not a ‘fundraising’, because you are only funding your product.  You arent funding a middle man.  You arent funding ads.  You arent donating for a good cause, you are just buying a watch from me.  And I need enough to cover any warranty claims for a year, and buy extra, so if God forbid something happens to your order, I can take care of you.

So take care of me and extend my reach.  

Keep the Faith,
