going up at ~ $1000/second, as I've watched.

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 was just thinking the same thing, I locked in at the early bird price but couldn't understand why people would volunteer to pay more for the same product...

It's currently trending towards a cool 68 million dollars: http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/597507018/pebble-time-awesome-smartwatch-no-compromises/ http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/597507018/pebble-time-aweso...

  Hmm are there even enough levels for them to reach that goal?
  - lt 12y ago
    Nope.. Adding up all the tiers up totals a maximum of $9,550,000, for a total of 56k watches. Interesting that they didn't design this to break their 10.2M record of the first campaign. I'd bet they are going to increase the slots or or announce addons for the pledges to go for it. At this rate they are going to be sold out in a couple hours, if that.

      I'm sure someone at Kickstarter would be happy to immediately add a new tier for them if they max out.
      - lt 12y ago
        They should be able to do that themselves (I've seen a lot of projects adding tiers in the middle of campaigns, you can't remove/change existing tiers). Kickstarter shouldn't be able to add new tiers by themselves, as they have no say what the price/rewards should be. The current tiers are likely (hopefully) carefully planned based on their manufacturing plans and how many watches they can fulfill in the schedule given.

      They posted an update saying they're bumping the 2nd single-watch tier by 10k, and will add a new single-watch tier with a later ship date when that sells out.

  168 million now, WOW!
