I just learned about the Neptune Pine from another HN post. Neptune just announced their latest device, the Neptune Duo. I was hoping for something like the Neptune Pine, but smaller and slimmer. This fits that bill, but once again it's two devices, almost like today's smartphone and smartwatch pairing. This just moves the phone part to the wrist. And it's much more expensive, without any specs at this point. I'm disappointed, but maybe someone else here might be interested.
Mhm, they seemed have swapped the master/slave relationship between the smartwatch and the smartphone that most recent systems use. Now the watch unit has the data and the connectivity interfaces, instead of the other way around. Looks promising, if battery life of 'the Hub' is somewhat decent.
Well, from the product page, the pocket screen actually has more battery capacity than the armband. In fact, the screen can be used as a on-the-go charging station for the armband.
Personally, I don't know how I feel about this. Their battery benchmarks are assuming you're going to use the pocket screen to charge the hub, but I don't necessarily want to be tethered to this pocket screen either.
