Google Android Wear: Two Nexus Brand Smartwatches In The Making?

If new reports are to be believed Google has already begun working on two Android Wear smartwatches, possibly under the Nexus brand.

According to Android Police, citing a reliable source, Google is developing two Android Wear devices, codenamed "Angelfish" and "Swordfish," which it intends to release after announcing its upcoming Nexus 2016 range of devices.

The report claims that of the two smartwatches in pipeline, one will be larger featuring a 43.5mm diameter, LTE, GPS, and a heart-rate monitor. The smartphone in question is expected to come in a smooth circular shape that curves where the watch band touches the wrist. As per the report, one large circular crown button will be centered along the right side of the body, while, two smaller and shorter circular buttons will be present above and below it. Possible color for the smartwatch include a matte dark grey finish branded 'titanium.'

The second smartwatch, codenamed "Swordfish," will be comparatively smaller with a diameter of 42mm and thickness of 10.6-mm. The smaller sibling will reportedly lack LTE and GPS. It's unclear if it will feature a heart rate monitor. The smartwatch is expected to have a single button centered on the right-hand side of the body. The device will allegedly be made available in three color variants namely silver, titanium, and rose gold, reported The Verge.

The publication claimed that Swordfish will be compatible with Google's interchangeable MODE watch bands, while, the Angelfish device will not support MODE bands. Both the Android wear smartwatches will offer Google Assistant integration.

As far as the release date is concerned, the alleged smartwatches are expected to be announced at Google's September event.
