It is unprofessionally written and ends by saying: Why it failed: If you read the Montrex Watch Project Kickstarter, everything just sounds wrong right from the start. The name “Montrex” was intended to sound like other established watch brands, including Rolex and Timex. In fact, this seems to be the only real special characteristic of the watch which was used for marketing it. What Montrex Watch Project was: The Montrex Watch Project was allegedly a high quality watch brand that was to include sapphire crystal glass on the front and back of the watch. The fact that there was never a functional prototype to start with points to this. While it’s possible that the whole campaign was a scam, it’s more likely that the creators of the CST-01 blew through the money trying to develop the product and couldn’t deliver what they promised, so they chose to disappear instead. However, very little information was ever provided to the backers, who are still without their watches. Why it failed: Updates on the Kickstarter page after the CST-01 watch failed to ship pointed to various manufacturing problems with the watch.

Instead, users could set the time from an included base station. The watch was designed to be as minimalistic as possible, with no buttons or knobs on the watch itself. It had an electronic display housed in a single piece of stainless steel wrapped around the wearer’s wrist like a flexible bracelet. What CST-01 was: The CST-01 Kickstarter campaign was launched for an incredibly thin 0.8 mm flexible wristwatch.
