(239 8-2025) Clovis can choose to assemble the DR Watch either in China or the USA, based on customer preferences. While government contracts and many consumers favor products made or assembled in the USA, despite the higher cost, large enterprise buyers like ACO or Insurance Carriers often opt for the more economical choice. When the watch is made in China can it be reverse engineered, affecting Clovis first-to-market strategy of offering the game changer technology of a built-in cellular gateway enabling standalone products to upload through the watch to the health cloud? This cannot happen through reverse engineering that China is known for. The firmware that is embedded into the watch is created in an app format and the app is downloaded into the watch in a separate location out of the factory. What will be the additional cost of assembling the watch in the USA? We anticipate the watch to cost forty five percent more using American labor. Will the increased cost prevent the watch from achieving the anticipated level of success in the market? No! After deducting the cost of freight, import broker expense and the Trump importing Tax of twenty five percent the actual increase of cost to assemble the watch in the USA is about fifteen percent. This is a small increase that will only affect the enterprise buyers.
