According to the popular technology website, Android Police, the watch is a part of the Nexus brand and will reportedly be announced on October 31 this year, even though Google Glass -- unveiled last year -- yet to hit the market.
Fox News reports that a few months ago, Google had published a smartwatch patent, which detailed a watch with a user interface similar to Google Glass and featuring two touchpads on its wristband that can understand gestures such as pinching or stretching, just like Glass's single pad.< /p>
The report mentioned that the Gem would join the likes of Apple, and Microsoft and LG's rumoured wrist-worn gadgets respectively. Samsung has already launched its Galaxy Gear smartwatch that is designed to work with its Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 10.1.
According to a recent study, more than 373 million smartwatches will ship by 2020 compared to the 15 million projected for 2014, which suggests that the watch could soon become a major part of the mobile market.
