LG is building Googles long-awaited smartwatch, according to The Wall Street Journal. Citing a person familiar with the situation in Barcelona, the Journal claims that LGs hardware partnership with Google will soon expand to include the wrist-worn device. That strategy would be similar to the one Google uses for its Nexus family of smartphones and tablets, which pulls in hardware from more than one company. According to CNET, Google plans to unveil the watchs operating system sometime in March, saving the devices big reveal for its I/O conference in June. Back in October, the Journal reported that Googles smartwatch could be ready within months. The device is expected to place a strong focus on Google Now and glanceable information, but little else about its capabilities is known at this early stage. If and when Google does enter the smartwatch market, it will immediately face major competition from Pebble and Samsung, among other contenders.
