Neptune Computer is a Canadian startup that designs, develops, and sells wearable computers. Neptune successfully completed a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter to support manufacturing of their flagship product, the Neptune Pine smartwatch.
The Neptune Pine can make and receive phone calls, browse the Internet through Wi-Fi or 3G, provide GPS navigation, video chat and much more; all independently without the presence of a smartphone. The Pine is meant for consumers who value simple, intuitive and practical solutions, and allows users to be discreet when using smart technology.
Founded by Simon Tian, Neptune Computer hopes to help customers live more efficient better lives through technology. "We started out with a realization that disparate technologies could be brought together in a way that had never been done before with a real impact on peoples lives," said Tian. "So many smartwatches have appeared in recent times, but most of the wrist-worn devices on the market right now don't really seem to be living up to the hype. We have a device that we think will truly live up to everyone's expectations. The Pine brings everything together in a stylish and powerful package. Our hope is that it helps people live more freely," continued Tian.
The Neptune Pine puts a social media hub, a fitness lab, video game console, a media player, two cameras, a dual-core processor and a phone on your wrist.
