The changes here make Google’s smartwatch platform modern and capable enough for those that already know they want to wear a wrist computer. They are the cutting edge of Google-powered watches, but they won’t be alone for long - you can expect many more Android Wear watches running the platform to arrive this year.
The Watch Sport and Watch Style are meant to showcase all of the new features found in Wear 2.0, from Android Pay, to LTE connections, to the improved Google Assistant. And if you happen to be one of those people who did buy an Android Wear watch before, it’s likely coming to your wrist, too. Wear 2.0 is launching first on a pair of new watches from LG that were designed in conjunction with Google: the $349 Watch Sport and the $249 Watch Style. It’ll even let you do nearly as much with an iPhone as you can when the watch is paired to an Android device. Wear 2.0 has a simplified design, new features, and, perhaps most importantly, more ways it can work independently of your phone.

So last year, Google went back to the wearable drawing board to develop Android Wear 2.0, the biggest update to the platform since its launch. Google’s been in the smartwatch game since 2014, but its Android Wear platform has yet to break out of the niche and into a mainstream audience, even though it’s been offered on countless watch designs over the years. If you are wearing a smartwatch, odds are it’s either an Apple Watch or a Samsung Gear. That, of course, hasn’t stopped companies from trying to sell them to you. They’ve gone from being "the next big thing" to becoming just another thing, and not a thing most people want. Despite the fact that modern wrist computers have been available for over three years, most people have not found them to be as desirable or necessary as the ubiquitous smartphone.
Are you wearing a smartwatch? Not likely.
