Following months of rumours and leaks, Google has finally confirmed that they have been working on two new flagship smartwatches. In an exclusive interview with The Verge, Jeff Chang, product manager of Android Wear at Google, confirmed that two flagship Android Wear 2.0 devices will be launched early in 2017.
He also added that the new watches will be the first ones to launch with the new platform. If you thought that the new watches would be part of Pixel lineup, we'll have to disappoint you as they won't have any Google or Pixel branding. Instead, they will be branded by the company that is manufacturing them, which of course is still a secret. What we do know is that the company already released Android Wear devices in the past.
