The pledges are actually orders for the watches.

Depends on what you pledged. You basically paying for the opportunity to pre-order at the price they want...

Only if you pledge less than $25, which is just supporting the project. Anything more is considered a pre-order, and gets you one of the watch variants. Of the 13510 backers, only 128 pledged in the <25$ bracket - so less than 1% are merely paying for the opportunity to pre-order, as you put it.
