Google is all set to usher in Android Wear 2.0 on Feb. 9, claimed Evan Blass, which will mark the second generation of Android’s smartwatch specific operating system. That is not all as the serial leakster also claimed Google will mark the occasion by launching two new smartwatch devices – LG’s Watch Sport and Watch Style – which will also be the first from the search giant.

Blass also mentioned the two new smartwatches will be on sale in the US from the next day itself, with other regions in the world getting it in a phased manner later on. Google’s plans to launch a smartwatch aren’t exactly a surprising development considering that the Android Wear’s product manager Jeff Chang had already confirmed such plans last year itself.

Meanwhile, two smartwatches will include a circular 1.38-inch display for the LG Watch Sport, lit up by 480 x 480 pixels. On the inside, the wearable will have a 768 MB RAM along with 4 GB of storage while a 430mAh battery would be providing the juice.

The Watch Sport will be 14.2 mm thick with titanium and dark blue being the choice of colors. Among the other features of the Watch Sport include a heart rate sensor, GPS and NFC. Further, the Sport version will also be the only version to come with integrated cellular connectivity, with compliance with both 3G and LTE networks.
