That's about right, I watched almost 500K pour in no time at all. I'd bet this will set a record for fastest funding on KS.
It's very interesting to see the higher tiers selling even with the early bird available, which is cheaper per watch than any other tier.
I hope they've managed to improve the color and sharpness on color e-paper displays. The ones I've seen over the years have been rather less than vivid.
It's interesting that they've chosen to launch the product on Kickstarter. They don't appear to need the funding structure; they're simply using it as a shop.
What's that "e-paper" screen technology they are using?
I'm extremely torn. On one hand (or rather, on one wrist) I have the pebble steel and I LOVE it, couldn't imagine going back. But on the other wrist I have an iPhone and the pebble works better with Android ATM so the Apple Watch looks attractive. Back to the first wrist, the pebble has much better battery life and is cheaper than the even the lowest priced Apple Watch... Edit: Ok, I pulled the trigger, I can always…
The Apple Watch will be better with strong competition. It's great that there's a company that spends all day thinking about making a better watch. Anyway, you'll need to wear something while your Apple Watch is charging. :-)

Looks like this will finally get me to jump on the smartwatch bandwagon; the original Pebble didn't really do it for me. The new interface is looking great and the week worth of battery is nice, especially since most LCD smart watches need to be charged every night.
It looks good enough that it will probably find a place to stay in my life anyway...
Aaand they're already funded ($775k out of $500k at this moment). That was quick. Edit: To clarify, it was already at $775k at 16:27 CET.
21 minutes later, an extra $1M.
