Wow, $789 is a little steep.

  It's $498 if you pay upfront. The higher price is to get yours first.

  Not commenting on the overall value or quality of the thing (not having used it) but seeing as it replaces a more traditional setup of smartphone and tethered smart watch, the price isn't terrible. My Moto X cost around $450 and my Moto 360 retails for $250 (though I got it on sale for $175). If the end result of this setup is one object on the wrist and one in the pocket, it's only a bit more expensive than what I've got. Likewise, if I had bought a more expensive phone (iPhone, Galaxy, etc) then the total would have been a couple hundred dollars more. Combine this with the novelty of the Neptune and I can see how they wouldn't charge drastically less than a current smartphone/smartwatch pair. In this situation, the main "brain" is just in the wrist part instead of the "phone" part. I don't imagine I'd be in the market for this mostly because it seems a bit too "ooh future!" looking for me but I can certainly appreciate the concept.
