    From their FAQ, emphasis mine:

    You shouldn’t get one if…

    You need a perfectly polished smartwatch. This project is a labour of love rather than a startup trying to sell millions of watches. There may be some rough edges (literally). Things will get delayed. Some features will not be ready at launch. Things could break. Things could not last as long as you’d like. The only thing we can guarantee is that it will be awesome and a lot of fun! Every time you look down at your watch, you will smile

    So yeah, I’d say your take is pretty accurate. At least they’re honest lol

      My concern isn’t that things will get delayed, it’s that I’ll give them my money and get nothing in return

        Understandable, which is why I’m choosing to not preorder. However, they also have a full refund policy that’s good until your unit is being prepared to ship, and several notifications leading up to that point. One of the best ways to handle preorders I’ve encountered.

        That’s. Uh… the entire idea of a kickstarter.

        It may crash and burn. Don’t want that, don’t back anything on kickstarter.

          … so I shouldn’t use the CEOs history of bankruptcy and failed a Kickstarter when judging if I think it is going to succeed or not?
