The watch may come with a processor, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, a touch-based screen.  Further, the flip up portion can include: a top display exposed when the flip up portion is in the closed position and an inside display opposite the top display.

All we can do is wait and see how these rumors will take shape before Google officially announces the devices.
