Serial Leakster Evan Blass debuted photos of the purportedly LG Watch Style variants ahead of the Android Wear 2.0 launch. T3.com said the photos were leaked in super clear photos ahead possibly in anticipation for the launch, which will happen on February 9.
Earlier, Blass said in a Venture Beat post that Google is set to unveil the LG Watch Sport and LG Watch Style on the launch and will retail them in the US the following day. Citing marketing material released to Venture Beat, Blass added that the rollout of these smartwatch variants will continue to other regions from February through March this year. The said smartwatches will also be given placement at the Mobile World Congress 2017, which begins on February 27 in Barcelona, Spain.

Confirming previous reports, Blass confirmed that the LG Watch Sport is 14.2-millimeters and will come in titanium and dark blue, while the LG Watch Style is at 10.8-millimeters, and will be available in titanium, silver, and rose gold. Watch Style will also come with its own swappable straps. Watch Sport will be the flagship device, thanks to its larger, higher-resolution screen (1.38 inches and 480 x 480, as compared to Style’s 1.2-inch, 360 x 360 face), more RAM (768MB as compared to Style’s 512MB, although internal storage is 4GB across the board), and larger battery (at 430mAh versus 240mAh).
AndroidCentral said the LG Watch Style is rumored for sale at USD249 apiece. There’s no word on how much the LG Watch Sport will be priced for retail.
