These would be the first Google Nexus smartwatches, Angelfish and Swordfish

For Google, a couple of Nexus smartphones seems not to be enough. It is almost confirmed, that Silicon Valley would have hired HTC this year to make the corresponding pair of Nexus. However, the ambition of the company not end here. Now the Internet giant wants to devote himself to the wrist wearables, namely smart watches.

Apparently, Google would be interested in expanding their horizons once again, in the territory of wearables. According to Android Police, the company of the big G is currently manufacturing two devices with Android Wear, being very high possibility that they are Nexus. Unfortunately, we would not see these best smart watches until shortly after the official presentation of its larger siblings, the HTC Nexus.
At the moment, we only know that one of the devices would be considerably larger than the other, as seen in the render. In addition to being larger, the wrist mobile watch phone codenamed Angelfish, come loaded with more features and updates that smaller model, such as LTE, cardiac sensor or GPS. The other smart watch, known as Swordfish, presumably lacks the possibility of moving or GPS data.

According to officials of the leak to Android Police, it appears that Angelfish bears a resemblance to the Moto 360 and LG Urbane 2. However deep the clock that Google plans boasts a somewhat sportier look, besides having only three buttons. One would be a crown in the center of the right side, while the other two would be placed above and below the above.

Everything indicates the diameter of the device would angelfish 43.5 mm, and would enjoy a matte finish dark gray might be termed "Titaninum". In terms of specifications, it is very little known at this point, but according to the source, the smartwatch would have GPS, 4G / LTE connection and a heart sensor. Inside, we find the latest version of Android Wear, with the news announced at the Google I / O 2016 standalone apps.

As for the second clock, Swordfish, seems to adopt a similar to the Pebble Time Round design, although smaller edges and a different arrangement of buttons. It seems that this device would have a single button on the right side, centered and metallic finish. The Swordfish, presumably, would be smaller and thinner than the Angelfish, with a diameter of 42mm and a thickness of approximately 10,6mm.

However, both smartwatches come standard with integrated Google Voice Assistant software. Unfortunately, at least for the moment, it is unknown to what extent this integration will affect the daily use of the devices.

What do you think of the Nexus smartwatch? You think it's a good idea from Google?
