The tweet does not mention anything about the presence of a heart rate sensor or any other health related sensor. The size of the battery, a crucial deciding factor for many, remains unknown as well.
Google has already announced that it plans on releasing an SDK for Android wearable devices over the next few weeks.. The company’s first smartwatch is expected to run a modified and lighter version of Android and is widely expected to be unveiled at Google’s upcoming I/O event this year.
