A new Android Wear smartwatch seeks funding on Indiegogo

Android Wear isn't just a platform for big hardware manufacturers. A group on Indiegogo is raising funds for their own watch design running Google's smartwatch software

One of the key differences to Google’s approach to Android Wear as compared to other smartwatch platforms is that it’s partially open source, just like Android. This means that even if you’re not one of Google’s official Android Wear hardware partners, you can still download the source code from the Android Open Source Project (ASOP) and build your own.

The group behind one of the first Android Wear smartwatches that’s not from a major partner is currently taking pre-orders on Indiegogo to raise funds to release an Android Wear smartwatch, called the Com1, as soon as December this year.
