There has been a lot of talk about a potential HTC smartwatch in 2016, although this has not been backed up by evidence of its development. Now more speculation has emerged, this time pointing to the release of a smartwatch from HTC next month.

Given its reputation for iconic smartphone design, it is no surprise that the prospect of a HTC smartwatch continues to generate enthusiasm. As the Taiwanese company was a launch partner of Android Wear back in May 2014, many have expected that they would enter the smartwatch market at some point.

FYI, this has been pushed to the week of June 6th. #htcwearablehttps://t.co/Ei1lT4aWoc

The latest rumour has come from @evleaks, on Twitter, who has pointed to HTC launching a smartwatch on the week of 6 June. Although @evleaks has reliably broke numerous Android stories in the past, it is worth noting that he has reported that HTC have been due to unveil a smartwatch on a number of previous occasions, only for no such device to emerge.
