So, Google bought a smart watch company, and in the process effectively tossed their hats into the smart watch war already being waged.
It’s kind of funny to imagine an actual war being waged between so many companies though, as there has not been an actual smart watch released by the majors just yet. Sure, you have the Nike Fuelband, and the Pebble smartwatch, but with releases from tech giants like Apple and Samsung still looming in the shadows, this looks to be quite an interesting development. Interesting in the sense that Android’s leading manufacturer already has a smart watch set to be announced at IFA, and also interesting that Google will seemingly undercut that same device.
It’s no secret that Google has been looking to break way into the smart watch game for a while now, but will we simply see an accessory to Android devices, or is this the beginning seeds of an actual Nexus watch being developed?
IFA kicks off on September 6th and runs through the 11th, but expect a couple big announcements as early as the 4th. Check back with Nerd News for the latest.
