Everybody has expected Google to develop a device of its own to compete in the burgeoning smartwatch market, and the writing was all but on the wall when the company recently acquired smartwatch developer WIMM Labs and at least one of its employees. However, the speed at which Google may come to market with such a device is somewhat startling; according to the Wall Street Journal, a Google smartwatch is imminent.

Google’s smartwatch will compete against Samsung’s Galaxy Gear as well as similar rumored devices from the likes of Apple.
