Leaked Google Smartwatch Prototype by Motorola [Photos]

Photos of an early Google smartwatch prototype made by Motorola have surfaced on AndroidPolice.

We've decided to put a few of our cards on the table and give readers a peek at the Motorola prototype that never became a real product. According to our anonymous source, the device was allegedly going by the name Google Watch, with the official code name Gem, and fell into the Nexus category of devices. Whether a future watch will keep the codename Gem is uncertain.

The device shown in the photos below reportedly existed in 2013. It has a rubber band, a square display with a sizable bezel, a rocker button on the top, a button on the left, and a capacitive back button on the front.


Motorola confirmed yesterday that it is working on a watch that will be available this year; however, it's unclear if it is continuing to work on the device that was being made for Google. It's said that Google is now working with LG on its smartwatch.
