Moto 360 and LG G Watch are first Android Wear OS watches

First up is LG's G Watch. It looks pretty sleek and futuristic, and will work with a "wide range of Android smartphones". It'll have similar voice activation skills to the Moto X – just say "OK Google" and you can ask it questions, or to call someone from your contacts.
The G Watch will go on sale soon. LG says it will launch in Q2, which is between April and June. Though it isn't yet confirmed for the UK.









LG says it worked closely with Google on the development of the device. It'll announce all the specs in the coming months.
Next is Motorola's Moto 360. Like the G Watch, it'll run Android Wear OS, but it has a more classic look, with a round face, and comes with a leather or metal strap. For our money, it's one of the better-looking smartwatches around.
It will show notifications every time you turn your wrist, as it responds to movement, just like the Moto X. Like with the G Watch, just say "OK Google" and you can ask it questions.
The Moto 360 will go on sale "globally" this summer, starting in the US. We'll have to wait to hear about a UK launch.
