First Android Wear 2.0 smartwatches from LG are set to debut on February 9

If we are to go by details released by Evan Blass a.k.a. @evleaks, Android Wear 2.0 will finally be debuting next month on two new flagship smartwatches from LG. It was rumoured before that these new watches would be branded as Pixel watches but it seems like that isn’t the case. It won’t even be co-branded with Google. The wearables will just be named LG Watch Sport and Watch Style. Both will have a digital crown button to help with navigation (similar to what you’d see on the Apple Watch), handwriting recognition, and Google Assistant integration.

The Watch Sport is the more premium model with a slightly bigger 1.38-inch 480 x 480 circular plastic OLED touch display, 768MB of RAM, 4GB of storage, and a 430mAh battery. It’ll have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, 4G, GPS, and NFC, which will allow this to be used for Android Pay. It’ll also have a heart rate sensor, IP68 certification for water and dust resistance. It’ll come in titanium and dark blue variants and it’ll be 14.2mm thick.

The Watch Style, on the other hand, will only get Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It won’t have a heart rate sensor, either. It also only has IP67 water and dust resistance. It’ll be smaller than the Watch Sport with 1.2-inch 360 x 360 round P-OLED display. It has 4GB of RAM like the flagship but it only has 512MB RAM and a 240mAh battery. It’ll be thinner though at 10.8mm. The Watch Style will support swappable straps and its colour options include titanium, silver, and rose gold.

The render above is said to be close to what the watches will look like and will debut on February 9. These will then go on sale in the US the next day. It’ll then roll out to other markets by February and March.
