A mysterious low-cost fitness tracker was also recently tipped for a possible MWC 2020 announcement, while the exclusive global Nokia brand licensee reportedly decided to shelve not one but two different smartwatches, as well as other lower-profile gadgets and accessories like a mini projector, mini printer, and power bank.

According to a new rumor, however, the development and preparation of at least one of those two Nokia smartwatches is chugging along, and there’s still a chance we’ll see this unnamed wearable device presented to the public at the February 23 event in the beautiful capital city of Catalonia.

There are only two things known strongly suspected about this smartwatch, namely the inclusion of eSIM support for standalone cellular connectivity and Google certification suggesting Wear OS will be running the software show. 

If those two details pan out, that surely means we’re not dealing with some sort of a hybrid pushover, but rather a full-fledged Apple Watch rival. Of course, a GPS and Bluetooth-only model is likely to join the cellular-enabled variant to market, although speaking of markets, we have no idea where HMD Global might be planning to release its rookie smartwatch effort.
