Google to release two Android Wear 2.0 smartwatches in Q1 2017

Back in July, 2016, a report suggested that Google was working on two Android Wear smartwatches codenamed Angelfish and Swordfish. We've already seen the renders of these smartwatches and now Evan Blass has shared new details of Google's smartwatches.

According to Blass Google will introduce the smartwatches sometime in the first quarter of 2017. He also mentioned that these smartwatches will be powered by Android Wear 2.0, which is Google's platform for wearables. Android Wear 2.0 will feature its own app store and an improved Smart Reply feature.

As per earlier reports, the smartwatches will have Google Assistant integration for contextual alerts. The Angelfish will be the larger of the duo, with a 42.5mm dial and have three hardware buttons for control. It will also feature heart rate sensor, GPS and LTE cellular connectivity.

The Swordfish will have a smaller 42mm dial with single button control and supports Android Wear MODE watch bands. However, it will not have support for heart rate sensor, GPS or LTE connectivity.

We can expect more details regarding Google's upcoming smartwatches in the coming week.
