Could this be what HTC’s first Android Wear smartwatch looks like?
HTC was originally named as one of the OEMs committed to bringing an Android Wear smartwatch, but we obviously have yet to see anything spawn from their camp. We might have gotten our first taste, though, as @evleaks has posted what is said to be an accurate artistic reproduction of a leak he has seen.
The display was obviously customized for the purposes of filling in that particular area of the photo, but @evleaks claims the rest of the hardware is akin to what he’s seen or heard. The image presented to us doesn’t make us peel our eyes too much. It’s a smart watch. It has a face and a band and all that jazz. Metal bands, mind you, if you’re into that sort of thing
That said, it’s important to remember that these leaks are to be taken with a grain of salt — after all, the origin of this particular one has been wrong before. Let us know what you think about what you see in the comments below!
