A couple of days ago, we told you that LG and Google are currently working on the first Android Wear 2.0 smartwatches that will be released in early February. Android Wear hasn’t been as exciting as we had expected and Google wants to do all it can to make it exciting again.
With the first Android Wear 2.0 smartwatch expected in February 9, we should expect to see a number of leaks about it as we get close to the launch date. We already have the first photo of this smartwatch thanks to TechnoBuffalo and they show both the LG Watch and LG Watch Style.
The one on the left is the LG Watch Sport while the one on the right is the LG Watch Style. In our previous post, we already told you that these will be the first two Android Wear 2.0 smartwatches and that the Watch Sport will be the premium of the two even though its official pricing is yet to be revealed.

The Images shared above are not of the best quality but you can still make out the differences between the two smartwatches.
