More backers...more component orders!
A few backers were wondering how we'll be communicating with you throughout the manufacturing and shipping process. All official updates will be posted on this Update page (and automatically emailed to you) as manufacturing continues. We can't share everything for various reasons (we need to respect non-disclosure agreements that we've signed and protect our intellectual property) but here's a quick sample!
I placed an order for a few more long lead-time components today. If you can believe it, this purchase order (PO) is for just 2 of the electronic components inside Pebble! This will be the first cheque I've signed with this many zeros and commas.
Hope you have an awesome weekend and for our far east backers, continue having an awesome weekend!

This implications of this picture are intriguing. Seeing as how you don't even receive the money from Kickstarter for another 13 days, and seeing as how the total cost for those parts was over a million dollars, and seeing as how your initial goal was $100,000 and therefore it isn't likely that you just had a million already lying around, it stands to reason that you have had some very lucrative investing going on outside of Kickstarter. Who could it be? That is the question. :)
Creator Sally Giancola on May 5, 2012
I hope that I am able to select the COLORS/FACE STLE when order time comes around. In the order process, there was no place to choose these options. All that aside, this seems to be an exciting project.
Creator Shirley Tomsic on May 4, 2012
Congrats on signing the BIG check, thanks for sharing. Fun to see a check that big! Looking forward to each and every email you send out. Thanks for keeping us updated. Shirley

Maybe not the best place to leave this comment, but while I was intrigued with the idea of the Pebble, I normally don't wear a wrist watch, so I initially passed. But as a Waterloo grad (B.Math '76 -- don't hold that against me :) ) I felt it was my duty to back this project :)
Creator Marla Aaron on May 4, 2012
Thanks so much for the update! I bought this as a gift for my son for his 12th birthday as a way to engage him in what building a business could be like some day.......I'm sure he will be very excited as we all are to see the finished product!
Creator Bas Bruurs on May 4, 2012

Creator Nancy T. Owen on May 4, 2012

Creator Andrew Holland on May 4, 2012
Well done guys.
This proves if you come up with a good idea, communities will back you.
Can't wait for the next update ;-)
Creator Marcus Frasier on May 4, 2012
@SmashD I was thinking the same!
Creator SmashD on May 4, 2012
Let's hope this was no huuuge flashmob and all those pledges dissolve into thin air over night ;) j/k

1 million!
Creator Todd Lampone on May 4, 2012
Sweet! This is the kind of stuff I like to see. Can you tell us how many total components there are? This is 2 of how many?
Creator Greg on May 4, 2012
