The front of the instrument should have boasted a

LOW BURDEN

I think $250 is a good price point for it, or possibly $270 (twice that of the BM235).
Well, hopefully a lot less.
That's a lot for just a multimeter. I have a Brymen with similar accuracy and that wasn't even near that price.

We all want it as cheap as possible
I'm wondering what the other multimeter manufacturers are thinking about this design.
Are they afraid of this competition ?
Are they going to copy the low burden design ? Dave do you have patent for it ?

Don't worry about that, it's not anywhere near that price.
The Brymen 869s sells in Germany for about 219.- EUR incl. VAT.

I think, Dave's meter will be around this price.
Get hem from Poland and you'd probably even pay less.

No, that price is actually better, in Poland its 197,62 € without VAT, plus 7€ S&H.. Here it is 184,03 € (without VAT) + free S&H...
Dave, please tell me that UI on the app is going to go? I will design you a new one for free if need be.
It's like the guy looked into his toilet after a hard night on the town for inspiration.

It will be an open protocol, so I'm sure the community here will put together something decent! The app available now is more for testing connectivity and to have a basic app available at launch.

It's a basic app so there is
something to test the basic bluetooth connectivity now and at launch time.
The manufacturer probably just contracted someone on Fivvr to do it, I had no input into it.
Likely I'll just leave it up to the community, the protocol will be open and I don't mind if someone writes one and sells it. The best app will win out in the end.

You mean this one? http://www.eleshop.nl/brymen-bm869s-multimeter.html
No, not from the Netherlands... :-)
But yeah that is also in the same ballpark.. I think TME increased a price litlle a bit, USD fluctuation and such... In November , price was few € less...

This is what I'm hoping.
I was thinking about the 869 for my next DMM purchase, but this is definitely going to be considered. The Brymen goes for around $250 in the US (mostly because it's hard to find I think). I'd probably be willing to pay a slight premium for this, but the appeal would diminish rapidly as the price goes above $300.
Hopefully around the 200usd mark [emoji6]
If it is above $300 I believe a more detailed CN23 form needs to be completed, which would add to the shipping overhead.
It needs to be priced right to sell. To high and the won't sell many. There is a difference between an impulse purchase and having to worry about how affording it and slip YAMM past the SWMBO.
Re: pricing
Maybe Dave could offer two versions of the 121GW meter - a regular version at a sensible price, and an upgraded version with gold plating and personally autographed by Dave for $800+ aimed at Completionists and the members of "Test Equipment Anonymous" ? ?

Winner winner chicken dinner
Why is the degrees Celsius annunciator an upper index of the primary display when Dave is measuring voltage? Why is "Apo" spelled with only the "A" capitalized, like it was a word and not an acronym for "Auto Power Off"? Probably already answered long time ago in the contributors' lounge but well, I'm a tightwad, it seems

My guess would be that the upper region changes depending on what you're measuring. In AC V it's probably frequency etc. Possibly you can select what the top deck displays, or maybe it's just temp when measuring DC V rather than displaying nothing up there.
Don't get too caught up in what you're seeing now, the meter you're seeing is not a finished product!

Yes, that's almost certainly like you described and other meters do it like that, indeed. My only gripe is the location of the symbol. Like it is right now, it strongly implies it refers to the primary (lower, bigger) value instead of the secondary, top one.

I believe Dave said it was. They are not going to redo the mold at this stage.

Firmware.. Don't see anything wrong with the shape..

I agree and since they will be funded by Kickstarter, it would be easy to have different custom versions. I assume the gold plating would be a challenge. Can gold be plated on plastic? Maybe a jeweler could carve out some plastic and insert thin layer of gold into the plastic. I bet a good jeweler could do magic on them.
Would be fun to see if Dave does this. I could not afford one but I would like to see one and it sure would be an unique item.
Maybe he could list one for $100,000 US for a sold gold case (like some Apple phones). Does gold make good shielding?
Oh hell lets go for a gold and diamond version for $1,000,000 US and list it in Neman Markus Christmas Catalog
But anyway I think it a good idea to have some sort of custom versions available on KS. Make one version stand out by being the most expensive meter in the world. After all with KS he would get the money first. Dave could even ask for ideas here.

Oh yup, I see what you mean. It does look like the °C icon is right next to the lower reading. I guess they haven't put the temp symbols on the top and the bottom. I wonder if the video shows a power on LCD test anywhere, so we can see all of the available things the LCD can show...
It also seems to go blank on the reading screen for quite a long time when it is auto ranging up in the DC V mode.
