At that time, a patent based on a smartwatch with a flip up display was awarded to Google. \u00a0Of course many companies are awarded patents for products that never actually come to market. However, with Samsung and Apple now working on watches of their own, it certainly isn&#8217;t out of the question that Google will definitely come out with one, hopefully Nexus branded. Don&#8217;t forget, Motorola has some experience in this area with the MOTOACTV.<\/p>\n<p>The Financial Times is reporting that not only is Google working on a watch, but it&#8217;s an Android unit project, not an X Lab project like Google Glass. It makes perfect sense for Android to be part of the watch since it&#8217;s more of a mobile device than Glass.\u00a0Unfortunately no timeframe was mentioned, but hopefully we will see something this year.<\/p>\n<p>source: <a  href=\"http:\/\/redirectingat.com\/?id=3031X597718&#038;xs=1&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fblogs.ft.com%2Ftech-blog%2F2013%2F03%2Fgoogle-smart-watch%2F&#038;sref=rss\">Financial Times<\/a><br \/>\nvia: <a  href=\"http:\/\/redirectingat.com\/?id=3031X597718&#038;xs=1&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theverge.com%2F2013%2F3%2F21%2F4133428%2Fis-google-building-a-smart-watch-of-its-own&#038;sref=rss\">TheVerge<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Come comment on this article: <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/155456-googles-upcoming-smartwatch-is-an-android-project-not-x-lab\/\">Google&#8217;s upcoming smartwatch is an Android project not X Lab<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:right;\"><small>Visit <a  rel=\"dofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/\">TalkAndroid for Android news<\/a>, <a  rel=\"dofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/guides\/\">Android guides<\/a>, and much more!<\/small><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/AndroidNewsGoogleAndroidForums\/~4\/Nw_nJlrgeN4\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was last October when we first heard rumors that Google could be working on a smartwatch.
