Interestingly enough despite many assuming Google might turn to Android for the smartwatch operating system, the rumor suggests that the smartwatch might run a platform that will be based heavily upon Google Now, which coincidentally enough is also part of Google’s other piece of wearable technology, Google Glass. Assuming all of this is true, it will be interesting to see what Google’s smartwatch efforts will result in. So far in 2014 we have already seen a handful of smartwatches make their debut, like the Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 and Galaxy Gear Neo, Huawei’s TalkBand, the Sony SmartWatch 2, and the Pebble Steel, so we have to wonder how Google’s own offering will stand up to the competition, or if Google’s branding is strong enough where they will manage to attract new customers anyway.
