Neptune Computer, founded by 19-year-old Simon Tian, has raised more than CA$250,000 since launching a 33-day Kickstarter campaign for its Neptune Pine smartwatch on Monday with a target of $100,000. The first prototypes have already been produced, and all parts of the design and engineering phase have been finalized, according to the company. Production tooling and engineering validation testing have begun, with mass manufacturing scheduled to begin in early December.
I believe that the inconsistencies in the number of pledges and backers is due to the fact that people can make pledges that areas low as $1, meaning they would not be officially listed. You can find more details at http://smartwatchforiphone.com/ .
