You Can Pre-Order the First Android Wear Devices Today


We've known about Android Wear for a few months now, but Google just announced that the LG G Watch and Samsung's just-announced Gear Live will be available to pre-order from the Google Play Store today. The sleeker-looking Moto 360 however, won't be coming out until later this summer.

In addition to learning that pre-orders are opening today, we also found out a little more about how Android Wear devices will work, even though we knew quite a lot already.


Android Wear devices won't just show show notifications from phone apps, but will also have apps of their own that run natively on the hardware to enable stuff like voice control, and sensor control—some of these devices will have fitness sensors, though Google didn't mention which. Downloading apps on the watch is easy; you don't even have to do it. Anything you download from the Google Play Store will automatically put the wearable app on your watch.
