If the rumors of a smart health connected watch were already known, the partnership with LG is the real surprise of the past few days. After their successful partnership around the Nexus, the two groups would again plan to collaborate – this time on an object smart health connected to fashion.

According to CNET, the calendar of events is as follows:

  • March 2014: First official announcement from Google (about the operating system)

  • June 2014: Presentation of the smartwatch (Google I / O, June 24 – 26)

On the technical side, very little information would have leaked. We just know that the group would use the Android operating system (obviously), and plan to reuse Google Now, an intelligent personal assistant based on voice recognition (already used in Google Glass).
