LG is reportedly set to launch the first Android Wear 2.0 watch, and they are not stopping at just one.
Working closely with Google, the company is planning to launch the LG Watch Sport and LG Watch Style concurrently on February 9, which is not the same day Android Wear 2.0 is rumored to go live. Both the watches will be available the following day. The watches will differ slightly in both their respective designs and feature sets. And between the two, the LG Watch Sport appears to be the more high-end option based on specs alone. The Sport will be 14.2mm thick and will come with a 1.38-inch plastic-covered OLED screen running at 480 x 480. Inside, the Sport will carry 768MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage and a 430mAH battery. We are still not sure which chipset will power the watch. The Sport will boast 3G and LTE connectivity with which you can make and receive calls and an IP68 elemental resistance and a heart rate sensor.
On the other hand, the LG Watch Style will be thinner at 10.8mm, while the 1.2-inch 360 x 260 screen will offer a more low-profile look that many desire in a smartwatch. It will come with 512MB of RAM, 4GB of flash storage and a more meager 240mAh. Unlike the waterproof LG Watch Sport, the Style will be IP67 to protect against splashes.
Both the watches will have a circular design, and limited iOS compatibility. It will also come with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi functionality, while the Sport alone will feature built-in GPS to track runs, and NFC for use with Android Pay. As of now we dont have any details regarding price, but since the date is just around the corner, we wont have to wait long.
