So, Google might be working on their own Android powered smartwatch. I wonder what they would call it? Google Nexus 1?

I guess they can go with double digits for watches. Google nexus 11.

watch with an 11 inch display? abey wrist watch hai. wall clock nahi.

Facepalm. I didn't mean 11' display. I mean they can keep the range like single digit number for phones/tablets which obviously stand for display size but double digits like 1X for watches. Easy to differentiate.

And based on reports HTC is working on a Google Now watch. Samsung has already announced their second generation watches. This time powered by Tizen. I bet the owners of first generation was very happy now. Samsung never opened the software platform so there are few apps available for it and now Samsung has pretty much discarded it by switching to Tizen. Booyah.

Hehe yeah. Not to mention they are dumping the old stock by reducing the price like crazy. 15k now?

Also of course, the device is still compatible only with a handful of Samsung Galaxy smartphones. Not even all Samsung devices.Buy a Pebble. Support smaller companies doing good stuff.

Yeah exactly! Pebble is a much better option. The first gen Pebble watch is now available on eBay for around 13k. Waiting for Pebble Steel to show up on eBay, may buy one. Getting one directly from Pebble Store would be a hassle due to the custom duty thingy, some reporting the duty is around 4.2k.
