Only 10mm thick? SW200? Ceramic bezel? $200? What am I missing?

Man what a value. Looks good, too.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Yeah, my PO is scowling sideways at this watch.
I'm interested to see whether it's a decent value if someone posts a review.
Just my $0.02 USD as always.

I want to give it a shot but something seems a little.. "off". Like they don't mention what material the crystal is (unless I'm missing it?). And it's made in germany according to the caseback, but it's not on the dial? Neither is the impressive WR rating. I get the pictures are a mockup, but these are things you'd want to advertise right up front, right? Missed the super early bird pricing due to my hesitation but the early pricing is still pretty tempting... It might just be the ridiculous price throwing me off, though!

Honestly, the vibe I'm getting is this is put together by a team who isn't quite sure what they're doing.
Could be a reason why priced so cheap.
And low cost enough where seems less of a risk if doesn't pan out.

Looks like bootlegs with dial name swapped; not to mention way too many photoshopped images... I'd avoid it.

For starters, their ridiculously ill-fitting logo is off-centerline in their promo shots. And despite the specs, they somehow look incredibly chintzy.

I didn't really look into why the campaign was suspended by Kickstarter, but I'm sure there's a story to be told.
