The search giant may be the next major player to enter the smart watch market.
According to 9to5mac's sources the watch will centre around Google Now, with at-a-glance tiles offering plenty of information on your wrist so you don't have to fish your phone out. That means the time, calendar, alarms, emails, texts and more could all be seen instantly.
Artem Russakovskii of Android Police, separate from the latest source, also confirms: "Google will announce a Nexus watch, code named Gem, likely together with the KitKat announcement. The date I have, which, once again, is about a month old, is also October 31".
Apparently, the latest set of rumors that surround Google Watch – which is currently going through the final optimization course, and will most probably be centered around Google Now functionality. Of course, an interesting point to take note would be the possibility that a slew of Google Glass functionality could arrive in the alleged Google Watch. Other than that, the Google Watch will also supposedly rely on Bluetooth 4.0 with the Ultra Low Energy standard in order to communicate with your phone, hence allowing it to last longer while it is in action.
Here's hoping that October 31 date is correct and that this Nexus watch appears alongside the already teased Nexus 5 smartphone.
there will be tight competition...
