CST-01: The World’s Thinnest Watch (0.8mm thick) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1655017763/cst-01-the-w...

I believe they ran into problems with their manufacturing partner, and also with some of their batteries bulging. They had very good intentions, but I believe the project became too big for this enthusiastic but novice team to handle. Also: Lots of failed components pre-assembly.

Too bad, really. A flexible e-ink watch embedded into a metal wrist band should have been achievable and quite a fantastic product!
