The Moto 360 may one day be just as customizable as the Moto X after Motorola revealed that wearables “could be” coming to MotoMaker. It’s already one of the most popular Android Wear watches on the market, but giving users the ability to choose different straps, accent colors, and more could make it even bigger.

A recent report confirmed LG’s plans to launch new wearables powered by the webOS platform in early 2016, but it turns out the South Korean company has already unveiled one.
At CES 2015 in Las Vegas last week, LG showcased a new smartwatch that it has developed with the help of Audi, and it’s the first to shun Android Wear in favor of LG’s own software.

BlackBerry is at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week where it is showing off BBM on Android Wear. The Canadian company promises to take its messaging service’s most popular features and make them available on your wrist, so you can do more than just preview new messages.

LG may be building its own Android Wear smartwatches already, but that hasn’t stopped the South Korean company from developing new wearables powered by its own webOS platform. Sources familiar with its plans say we can expect to see the first of those devices in early 2016.

Even long-time SmartWatch fans were disappointed with the design of Sony’s latest wearable, which was made almost entirely out of silicone when it made its debut back in September. But Sony is fixing that with a new SmartWatch 3 variant made out of stainless steel — and it looks great.
By swapping the tacky plastic for a more premium bracelet and chassis, Sony has turned what was once one of the ugliest Android Wear watches on the market into one of the prettiest. The original model will continue to be available, but those who are willing to spend more can opt for the much-improved design.
