HTC's Android Wear watch codenamed Halfbeak has a new set of leaked images popped up again on the Chinese social media site Weibo.

The Android Wear of HTC is set to be launched on Feb. 3. Leaked images have shown the round face design of the watch, along with the red and black strap that were seen on another set of leaked images back in October 2015.

There is an Under Armour logo on the bottom of the watch. It contains a heart rate sensor as well, suggesting that the device will be geared in some way towards fitness. The watch is expected to come with a 360 x 360 screen resolution, which is moderately higher than other current smartwatches. 

“We try to be very careful instead of just putting out whatever, so we keep working on it,” said HTC’s CEO Peter Chou.

There are not solid details yet regarding the specs of Halfbeak. However, it is expected that the smartwatch will be unveiled at the upcoming Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017, in Barcelona.  

Unveiling Halfbeak means that HTC might experience tougher competition because there will be other companies at the event who will launch their new wearables. LG will be making Google's two flagship Android Wear 2.0-powered smartwatches, and ZTE will be launching its first Android Wear watch.

With Halfbeak, HTC is planning to prove that it is a worthy contender among smartwatch makers such as Apple, Samsung, and Garmin.
