The first couple Android Wear smartwatches have officially left pre-order status and are available for purchase via Google Play. The LG G Watch is available for $249 and the Samsung Gear Live is available for $219.99, shipping out to Canadians in 1-2 business days.
There is no word yet from any retail partners to carry either of these wearables, nor if carriers plan to launch and bundle it in with an upcoming flagship. Perhaps when Motorola releases the Moto 360 later this summer we’ll also see the company couple it with an unveiling of the flagship Moto X+1.
