As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Update from the project creators:

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to thank you for your support. Unfortunately we didn't make our goal.

We are considering either relaunching or taking preorders directly on our website as our next steps as there was some interest in our watch. Please let us know if you would be interested!

Thanks again!
