This has to be one of the most ridiculously successful kickstarter projects ever.  Looks sick, I may pick one up

1. come up with smartwatch idea
2. spend a solid amount of money to build a prototype
3. test prototype
4. create kickstarter page
5. start mass production and begin company
6. sell company within months of it's opening for millions of dollars
7. retire at the age of 35 and travel the world


amazing.
