Earlier this afternoon, Google officially unveiled Android Wear, its new platform for wearables. Now both Motorola and LG have announced Android Wear smartwatches.
Motorola, Google's former-subsidiary apparently has big plans for Android Wear. It's calling its watch the Moto 360. The device is notable because it has a round face -- something we haven't seen before in a smartwatch.

Like the Moto X, the Moto 360 is also designed to take advantage of gestures. Twisting a wrist will show an alert or your next meeting. On its blog, Motorola is hyping what it calls "premium materials" and says the Moto 360 will be available in a variety of styles.
LG is calling its device the LG G Watch and the company says it will be compatible with a variety of Android smartphones. LG says it expects to release the G Watch in the second quarter of 2014 -- so we should see it in just a few months.
The company released a mockup image, which looks similar to some other smartwatches we've seen -- including Sony's Android-powered SmartWatch 2.
LG says it will release more details on the LG G Watch in the coming months.
The Moto 360 will be available in Summer 2014, first in the United States and then in the rest of the world.
