LEAKED: Here's What The Next Google Smartwatch Will Probably Look Like
If you look closely, you'll notice a smartwatch sitting on an HTC employee's desk during the video, which is meant to provide a closer look at the smartphone maker's design process. The watch, which was first spotted in the background by Android blog Droid-Life, bears resemblance to other smartwatches already on the market.
Like Samsung's line of Gear watches, LG's G Watch, and Sony's Smartwatch 2, the device shown in HTC's video has a square and slightly bulky watch face. The screen is barely visible, but a large-font time stamp can faintly be seen on the blurry display.
HTC has been rumored to be creating a smartwatch for months, but the company has yet to share any details. Back in February, HTC Chairman Cher Wang told Bloomberg that it plans to release a wearable device in time for the 2014 holiday season. The watch is likely to run on Android Wear, Google's new version of Android designed specifically for wearable devices.
Twitter account @evleaks, which has a solid track record when it comes to leaking unannounced gadgets, tweeted an artist's reproduction of a smartwatch that claims to be HTC's Android Wear watch. Google also listed HTC as an official Android Wear partner when it unveiled its new wearables platform in March.
