The smartwatch market has been slowly losing momentum, but that should all change in early February. At the end of 2016 Google confirmed the company was working hard on two high-end flagship Android Wear smartwatches for this year. Now, additional details are starting to emerge.

Since being released in 2014 Android Wear smartwatches have been few and far in-between. The Moto 360 was successful but that’s about it. Most manufacturers decided to skip 2016 completely, with no new releases. However, leaks suggest Google and LG will debut two stunning Android Wear 2.0 smartwatch options soon.

For months on end we’ve been hearing rumors that Google themselves are building a pair of premium watches. In December Google confirmed it, although they won’t be branded as Pixel or Nexus devices. Instead, they look to be working with LG in an effort to showcase their latest wearable.

Release Date

According to popular leakster Evan Blass, Google will release Android Wear 2.0 on February 9th at the LG Watch launch event.

On that day LG and Google will unveil two devices that look similar to the render above. Following will be a global release of Android Wear 2.0 over the course of a week or two.

Rumors claim both will be impressive new smartwatches. One called the LG Watch Sport, and a smaller more affordable and stylish LG Watch Style. It’s said both will have a digital crown similar to the Apple Watch, but still have a touchscreen at the same time. This will be the smartwatch worth buying in 2017.

All said and done we still don’t know too much right now. However, if February 9th truly is the day more information should surface soon. For now, we’ll have to wait for additional details to be sure. Either way, stay tuned for more details and be on the lookout for two stunning Android Wear 2.0 watches by Google and LG.
