Neptune Pine is Worlds Largest Smartwatch

We have seen smartwatches before but none this big. With a 2.4 inch display, the Neptune Pine is to smartwatches what the phablet is to regular tablet devices. It is twice the size of regular smartwatch devices that usually max out at 1.2 to 1.6 inches. However, the humongous proportions isn't the only distinguishing factor of the Neptune Pine in that it is designed to operate completely on its own and not as a companion device to a smartphone that all other smartwatches currently are known to be.  Put in other words, it actually is a smartphone that you can wrap around on your wrist. That is not bad either when you have a device that offer half the screen real estate as the regular iPhone. However, the size bit apart, the Neptune Pine is also about a lot of substance. Powered by a Snapdragon S4 chip rated at 1.2 Ghz, the smartwatch is zippy to say the least and is good enough to last a full day of regular usage or about 7 hours of internet usage via Wi-Fi. The device also comes with front VGA and rear 5 megapixel camera, another smartphone like credential that the smartwatch boasts of. While the need to have front facing cam on a smartwatch is debatable, the 5 megapixel rear shooter can prove handy even though it amounts to pulling the device from the wrist strap each time a pic has to be shot. The device runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Typing is also a lot easier on the Neptune Pine compared to any other smartwatch which makes sending messages a breeze on the device that can be used to make or receive calls. Reading messages is also convenient thanks to the larger display area which can also serve to get along with some quick reading though surely not for extended periods. The display should also allow for smaller games to be played easily which no doubt will allow for a means to while away some time. Surfing the web will also be much more interesting on the Neptune Pine and can prove handy while on the go. However, let's not forget one of the biggest draw on the battery is the display and the bigger it is, more will be the drain on power. Also, with smartphones growing bigger in scope (and size too), what remains to be seen is whether there will be many who would like to opt for a device that they can strap on to their wrist which offers just the basic functionalities of a smartphone. This applies more to a device that is price $355 and will be available by the end of this month itself. The company though revealed the second gen version is already in the making and let's hope it is smaller than the current version. in any case, the Neptune Pine in its present form does conform to what Apple co-founder Steve Wonzniak had said of smartwatches, that he wants the entire internet on his wrists.
