Products made by Martian are different. First and foremost they look like…
Neptune wants to completely redefine how we think of mobile devices. They don’t see a smartphone in the center of it all; rather, they think that position should go to an Android-powered smart watch that will simply have bigger screens to connect to. One of the screens would come in the form of a traditional…

Fitbit has just announced three new devices, one of which is its very first smart watch. Even though the company doesn’t want it to call it a smart watch — it wants us to refer to it as “Super Watch” — this is a device with big screen that will show the current time throughout…
