What do people think of repurposing this device to run Android wear?

This is a fraction of the price of alternatives. The downside is a Mediatek chip.

Hey All,
I saw a very interesting watch on eBay that if legit looks amazing. I'm not sure that it is legit... I'd love to hear your thoughts on this before pulling the trigger and buying one.

Haha :laugh:
even before the real Apple iWatch is released, there is already a clone. If it is true, this is the smartwatch with the best price / performance ratio i've seen so far.
The eBay seller sent me a URL to the manufacturer's site. After a trip through Google Translate, it's not nearly as interesting. Bummer.
The screen is <1" with 96x64 resolution and a 180mah battery. My guess is that it has about the same capabilities as a U8 watch. If anyone can translate the rest of the page, that would be interesting.

This watch has less than the capabilities than the U8 watch. Definitely isn't MTK6572 nor Android. It runs nucleus RTOS, but a very stripped down one color UI. Like this watch:

Hi, this is my first post on here. I was wondering if it is possible to port and/or emulate Android Wear onto the Neptune Pine smart watch? If you could, what would the process be? The "smartwatch" absolutely stinks as a stand alone device, I'm really hoping I could use Android Wear on it. Thanks

Android Wear and a MediaTek chip ... shame hey, as there will be no (or not much) development on XDA. The XDA article the GSM-Arena article.
On probably not as bad as the other cheaper brands and appealing only to the Android Wear fans.

A few more angles. A little plump, but I'd still call it a winner.
Interested in this watch... But probably lack of support....
I'm hoping it will have GPS

This cannot be correct - this is at Gearbest http://www.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_247182.html
This chipset cannot even support these sizes - as far as I know.
No mention of Android Wear.
Looks nice but a bit skeptical about the information and it lacks the ability to make calls direct from the watch.

Mentions Wear but still has those ridiculous storage specs. Hope I'm proven wrong but this chipset normally uses the standard 512ram and 4gb rom.
Yeah those specs seem very unlikely.
This videos says 512 RAM and 4GB ROM with a 320x320 screen.

Actually says 5012 but I'm pretty sure that was just lost in translation.
Would link but no-link noob policy : )
Any news about this smartwatch? Elephone presented the W2, but I haven't heard anything more about the ELE watch.
