I really don't see why this is a surprise: unlike many other projects this one shows a more or less finished product that works as advertised, not a "idea on paper" or pie-in-the-sky, and you can get the watch by backing the project, a win-win situation. In a way this was more like a presale for the watches, which is not a bad idea considering these guys could've gone broke if they had built the watches and not sold enough to make their investment back. This is a good way to test the waters before getting in.
