Combining what appears to be two touchpads on either side of the watch&#8217;s face will allow for gesture-based control such as\u00a0<em>&#8220;pinch, stretch and scroll on a platform with limited space available for user input&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0not unlike Glass. However, with any luck the watch will not be voice-controlled.<\/p>\n<p>Speculation aside, 2013 is looking to be a good year for Android-powered watches with Samsung <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/154938-samsung-confirms-they-are-working-very-hard-on-a-smartwatch-to-take-on-apple-iwatch\/\">also working on a watch<\/a> of their own.
