After the revolution of the smartphone and extensive usage of them, they have become a part of everyone’s pocket everywhere they go, replacing the need to carry individual devices to perform individual tasks such as Watches, MP3 players etc. But the watch has been getting smarter than how it ever was through these years. The Pebble (www.getpebble.com) was quite a watch that performed multiple tasks and synced with iPhone and Android smartphone in real times, has its own Application Store and all that, but how about looking at a watch that performs even better? Neptune seems to have just the right one and it does seem interesting.
The Neptune Pin Android Smart Watch is a watch with the features of a smartphone. And unlike any other of these devices out there, this one comes with its own microSIM-Card Slot inside it. With a 2.5 inch Touchscreen display, the Neptune Pin makes it not necessary to carry around a smartphone at all, to make or receive calls on the move with just the Pin Android Smart Watch strapped on your hands. What’s even more astonishing is that the Smart Watch runs on a full operating version of Android Operating System.
Looking more into the details, the manufacturers have built a User Interface Layer over Android named as Leaf UI, which is custom developed to fit the most important tasks of Android into the 2.5 inch screen of the Android Watch. It’s interesting to observe that the watch also comes with a five megapixel camera in the front and has the standard set of connectivity options too, including WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. The Smart Watch though being small, comes with 3 memory storage options ranging from 8GB to 32GB, while the base model is priced at 335$.

The Neptune Pin brings out a new platform in the watches space, enabling new generation watches to directly make calls from their wrists. However, being priced at 335$ for the 8GB variant, it might still not be the complete replacement of your smartphone considering that there’s not much you can do on a weird-sized screen from your wrists and that brings it to the costlier side of a secondary add-on purchase for a smartphone. Pricing aside, this might be an interesting gadget to look for, especially if you’re looking for something new to sport around with that would also complement as a smartphone.
