Google is also working on its p90X3 own smartwatch , but the Mountain View companys device will likely focus on voice interaction and Google Now integration rather than medical sensors. Samsung recently introduced an updated line of smart watches, and one model supports basic health measurement functionality. Pointing to Apple developing a major new hardware product for 2014 is Apples own CEO Tim Cook.
