I really enjoyed putting together the watch that was sent to me. It is very beautiful.

Perfect way to pass the time while in quarantine. My nephew and I finished his watch today.

Very fun project overall and I’m looking forward to seeing what Rotate comes out with next!

My dad is delighted with it, a good project to build!

– Fraser, Kickstarter Backer

I bought a kit for my boyfriend and he loves it – built it almost immediately and wears it every day.

– LJ, Kickstarter Backer

Thank you Rotate! We enjoyed the kit. Building it needed a little patience, a steady hand, and careful reading of the instructions on your website. We were happy with the result! Thanks again!

I love the watch; it’s one of my favorite possessions now.

– John C.

Great product and great quality. the best customer service. got my husband a kit and he loved it. we ended up having to buy a watch screw as he lost it and was a super reasonable price for the spare part. then he broke the face plate when trying to assemble. Jennifer was amazing and helped us out. definitely a great experience overall and will definitely buy again.
