It has already reached a few stretch goals (new straps, CDMA version). The two new stretch goals are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Stretch Goal #3: $400K &#8211; Screen Protectors<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Stretch Goal #4: $500K &#8211; Scratch-Resistant Glass<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I know some may feel that the Pine smartwatch is too big. I feel it too. However, given that it can be extracted from the strap and adapted to some accessories (head mount,\u00a0 clip), it becomes more flexible and useful.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you want an independent wrist watch that has phone feature, running on Android Jelly Bean, look no further. Maybe one day, large wrist smartwatch is a fashion statement.<\/p>\n<p>[ad#img]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are looking for a standalone smartwatch, check out Neptune Pine on Kickstarter.
