With Samsung unveiling their new pair of smartwatches yesterday, it's only fitting that rumors of other watches begin to fly in. This time around, the news revolves around Google's smarwatch, one that could end up being manufactured by LG.

According to prolific leaker evleaks, the two companies are working together on a smartwatch, with a launch expected at Google's annual I/O conference in June. This wouldn't be the first time the pair have collaborated either, as LG successfully manufactured both the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 smartphones.

Unfortunately, not much is known about Google's wearable watch, though it is expected to feature a modified version of Android that emphasizes Google Now 's voice search. Google was also one of the first companies to dabble with wearables when they developed Google Glass and it will be interesting to see how all the parts fit together.
