According to the application, the name is “intended to cover the categories of smartwatches; cases adapted for holding smartwatches; wearable computers in the nature of smartwatches; smartwatch straps; smartwatch bands”.

It certainly matches the description and details that have been given so far by tech analysts and ‘professional’ leakers (yup, it’s a thing): a round, bezel-less watch with a physical crown and two buttons.
We don’t know whether it will be an Android-based device or whether it’ll use a new interface designed in-house by Google, probably the latter, but we’ll find out soon enough.
