Google reveals Android Wear watches

Google has announced the first smartwatches that will be running Android Wear, the version of Android exclusively for wearables.

LG Gwatch and Samsung Gear Live were introduced during the I/O in San Francisco. Google said that Motorola's circular Moto 360 would not be released until "later this summer".

Earlier the smartwatch sector was not very organised because the OS which was designed to be working on smartphones was used to power them but Android Wear makes it more unified. Now separate SDK and APIs are available allowing developers to make apps exclusively for smartwatches running Android Wear.

LG Gwatch will cost Rs. 14,999($229) and has been made available in 12 countries including the US, UK, India, France, Germany and Japan.

SamsungGear Live would cost Rs. 15,900 and has been made available in the same locations.

LG Gwatch can be order on Google Play store and will be delivered by 8^th July and Samsung Gear Live is at present on coming soon status.

Interface like Google Now Cards

David Singleton, director of engineering in the firm's Android division, said one of its core aims was to be able to "quickly show you relevant information, and make sure you never miss an important message, while letting you stay engaged with the people that you are actually with".

To achieve this, when notifications are received by the user's smartphone they can be set to make the watch vibrate on the user's wrist.

Much of Android Wear's user interface (UI) relies on the firm's Google Now card-based system. Saying "OK Google" prepares the device to take an instruction - similar to the way it does on Google Glass.

Android Wear can be used to take and reject phone calls, track fitness, estimate journey time, schedule appointments and store travel plans.
