Google is finally making Android Wear compatible with smartwatches that have cellular connectivity, paving the way for a new breed of wearables that don’t require a smartphone for operation. The first device that fits that description is LG’s new Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE.

If you’re looking for affordable entry into the Android Wear ecosystem, look no further than the original Moto 360. Now available from the Google Store for a mere $99 with free shipping, it brings beautiful design and decent specifications at half of the price of newer models.

Just as promised, TAG Heuer today unveiled Connected, its first smartwatch powered by Android Wear. The device is inspired by the iconic Carrera watch, and although it’s not quite as pretty, it is the most expensive Wear watch you can buy.

TAG Heuer is ready to take on the Apple Watch.

Its first smartwatch, powered by Android Wear and called the Carrera Connected, is set to make its debut later this week, and it will retail for $1,500.

Fossil has been promising its first Android Wear watch for a while, and today the Q Founder finally got its official unveiling. Packing a round display and an Intel processor, it’s one of the prettiest Wear devices we’ve seen so far — and it goes on sale this year.
