Neptune Pine takes a massive bite out of the smart watch market

The Neptune Pine has foregone the sleek and slim look of smart watches and decided to give you the largest smart watch (or smallest smartphone) it can put on your wrist. According to Digital Trends’ Andy Boxall, it looks like you are balancing “a pack of 20 cigarettes on your wrist, and you won’t be far off.”

However, if you were craving for more power from your smart watch, then the Pine is a serious contender. It gained Kickstarter success because the device operates on full Android OS, has a SIM card slot, packs in 32GB storage, runs Google Play Store, and is equipped with a 5-megapixel shooter and a 2.4-inch touch-screen that you can unclip from the strap.
