[UPDATE: Comment from HTC] Photos of HTC and Under Armour’s Smartwatch Leak For the Second Time

Update 1/25/2017: According to tbreak’s interview with HTC’s Chialin Chang, HTC is not creating a smartwatch. Full quote:

I can tell you that we’re not going to have an Android watch. I don’t think we’ve nailed it with [the experience of] watches. Android watch is one thing but even Apple as a big brand is declining [in watches.] We are not going to have a watch in the short term.

 In line with a nearly identical leak from October of last year, another Weibo user has leaked more detailed photos of an HTC-Under Armour developed smartwatch shown to be running Android Wear. HTC has been expected to release an Android Wear device for more than two years, with initial rumors being picked up as early as mid-2014.

With Android Wear 2.0 potentially launching as soon as early February, leaks demoing Android Wear running on HTC hardware could suggest that 2017 may at last be the year that HTC decides to release its first smartwatch.
