Saw this earlier and almost went for it. It looks great, I am just a little wary of the product being dependent on Spotify (or their API) as a 3rd party, maybe these are the Meerkat/Twitter fears in my mind. If Spotify was building this, that would be different. Curious how this will work out in terms of ToS with Spotify?

@sarthakgrover great question. Yes, Mighty is fully compliant with all of Spotify’s Terms of Use. Mighty runs on Android, leverages the API like many others do, and follows all of the same DRM policies that are implemented on a smartphone. And we believe this device is a benefit for Spotify as it keeps their current Premium users sticky and can convert new and free users.

@pupupower Glad to hear that! Saw the timelines on the project, from a DVT/EVT to a PVT unit in 3 months (Jul-Nov)! That is a "mighty" aggressive timeline =) I actually hit all the pain points today that were mentioned in discussions here. Had to go for a run and didn't want to carry my bulky phone, so ended up downloading some music (based on my playlist for running, in Spotify) and then sync'ed it with the iPod....sigh. Goodluck on the launch!

@sarthakgrover @pupupower I agree with Sarthak. My Kickstarter experience was painful as well. We shipped Sugr Cube on time. But that's just the hardware piece. Our Android app was delayed for 3+ months and several software features we promised were delayed as well. Planning and scoping was very important for hardware startups.

This has the "wow" factor for sure, and the nostalgia is strong. What's truly remarkable is that it's a standalone wearable with a true purpose: it's not designed to assist your smartphone usage. I'd stop short of saying this changes my running or exercise routine, though.

@samgimbel thanks for the perspective - we love this kind of feedback. what's your current routine/setup and what do use to consume music?

@pupupower I'm a Spotify user, so this would be great for that. I use Runkeeper to track my runs and typically have music playing throughout my whole run. I never, ever look at my phone, it's just to keep me aware of where I am on the road. I start a shuffled Spotify playlist before my run begins and change songs using the headphone cord. This device works for a subway ride, a trip, or similar. The tracking piece is really necessary for exercise, but is obviously out of scope here :). Great work, can't wait to see it in the wild!

@samgimbel partnerships like runkeeper are actually on our roadmap for v2 as well. great to know that's an important piece for you.

I would buy for sure! I like to run and hate to take my cell with me for music, I have a iPod for that, but I don't always remember to update the musics like I do on Spotify, so I have to listen boring musics sometimes (this gadget would change this)!

Awesome product and great team. Hey @Pupupower... can you pre-load that Toni Braxton remix that we used to jam to?

In 1 year (max 2?), your smartwatch will be able to store your Spotify playlists... Not sure about the long term need of this... :/

@jmsaponaro we have lots of plans for the next few years as well! there is so much more to do beyond Spotify such as other music services, other audio, fitness content. Mighty is our first stab at solving one problem in this space.

Great gadget! Can it store songs from Spotify as the app or does it need constant WiFi connection to operate?

@mihalyszabo thanks! Mighty stores onto the device via our app (same functionality to how you can save songs for offline play on your phone). once you're done syncing your music onto your Mighty, no connection is needed and you can leave your phone.

This is a great idea, mostly for active use but I can sympathise that while on a run, at the gym or even going snowboarding when my iPhone keeps turning off because it's too cold for the phone to handle, this is a perfect tool. My guess is usually people are mainly subscribed to one main music streaming device so a simple replication for youtube music, Soundcloud, apple music etc would be a great way for them to open the market and keep the product simple.

@rhmcmillan this is absolutely the plan for Mighty! While we're focusing on Spotify for v1 (because we love them and are avid users), we would love to be open to integrate with all music streaming services.

@pupupower That's the way. It's a great idea. Getting Spotify to promote the product with themselves on their app is the next step to surge sales.

@rhmcmillan That's the dream! We know we're small (but Mighty; had to do it) so we're hoping this proven demand will get us some attention!
