It will have a smooth circular shape that curves where the watch band touches the wrist and just three buttons. Possible colours include a dark matte grey branded 'titanium'.

它的形状将是一个光滑的弯曲圆形，用表带绑在手腕上，只有三个按键。有可能的配色方案包括一款名为“钛”的深灰色。

The second watch, dubbed⁸ the 'Swordfish' caters⁹ for gadget lovers looking for style over substance.

第二款手表绰号“剑鱼”，迎合了粉丝们注重款式胜于材质的需求。

It comes in silver, titanium or rose gold, the source disclosed. Smaller than the 'Angelfish' it has a diameter of 42mm and thickness of just 10.6mm, making it almost 10mm thinner than the current Moto 360. Its straps¹⁰ are compatible with Google's MODE bands too, unlike the 'Angelfish'.

据知情人士透露，这款手表的配色方案有银色、钛和玫瑰金。“剑鱼”比“天使鱼”略小，直径42毫米，厚度仅10.6毫米，比Moto 360要薄大约10毫米。和“天使鱼”不同，这款手表的表带型号和谷歌的标准表带一样。

Both watches will offer Google Assistant integration, although details on exactly how this differentiates¹¹ from current Android Wear devices is unclear.

两款手表都将搭载一体化谷歌助手，但是目前在细节上尚不清楚它们和目前的安卓穿戴设备有什么不同。

Following Apple's Watch flop¹², many will be surprised that the search giant is making the investment in its own device when there are several Android wearables on the market.

在Apple Watch已经失败的情况下，许多人都对谷歌感到惊讶，这家公司在市面上存在着多款安卓穿戴设备的情况下，仍然在发明自己的Android Watch。
