Pricing updates. I'm partial to the blue and $400 seems really good

Screenshots didn't work. Blue will be $800 normal, $400 with 50 avail at that price. Black is $1000, same 50% off with 50 avail. White is $3000! Only ten avail at 50% off.

I'm very tempted, beautiful watch, specs are terrific, hardened titanium, and meteorite...
but a bit concerned, never used indiegogo. Plus I have a satellite wave coming in mail.
