Google Reportedly Making a Smartwatch, Too

Posted by Soulskill on from the competing-for-wristspace dept.

judgecorp writes "With Samsung and (reportedly) Apple already making smartwatches, Google has now joined the party, according to a (paywalled) report in the Financial Times. The Google Watch is apparently being made by the Android group, and could have some synergy with Google's other wearable tech — the Glass spectacles. The distinctive thing in Google's patent seems to be having two displays — one for public data and a flip-up one for more private stuff."

    if you bike say 20 miles on a good day you want to know exactly how far you went...

    My guess would be 20 miles.

    When the rumor mill said Apple was making one, I thought it was really stupid. Now I think it's really cool.
