Google's Android Wear 2.0 smartwatches coming in 2017

We have already heard of Google working on two new smartwatches, seen their renders which show two different sizes but now we finally have a timeframe of launch.

Reliable leakster @evLeaks tweeted out today that the new Android Wear 2.0 smartwatches will be launching in Q1 2017. The watches codenames Angelfish and Swordfish should come with a heart-rate sensor for tracking fitness activities. There is no word on specs of these smartwatches at present, but there are a lot of new features coming to Android Wear 2.0 which does make it one of the most comprehensive updates to the platform.

There are standalone apps coming to your watch, there would be a tiny gesture keyboard for better messaging and focus on fitness with new Google APIs.
