The LG Watch Style is touted to come in three colors: Titanium, Silver and Rose Gold.
Android Police, citing a trusted source, revealed that the wearable device will have a starting price of $249.
Meanwhile, the LG Watch Sport has also received its fair share of leaks. According to a low-resolution image, the LG Watch Sport will be larger in size and have a sportier appearance compared to the LG Watch Style. It also has three physical buttons unlike the smaller device which is equipped with only one. Aside from differences in design, the LG Watch Sport is also touted to be a more fully-featured device.
The LG Watch Sport is said to feature a 1.38-inch display with 768 MB of RAM. It is IP68-rated so it will be dustproof and water resistant. Furthermore, the smartwatch will have 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) connectivity, near-field communication (NFC), Global Positioning System (GPS) and a heartrate monitor. It is expected to arrive in two colors: Titanium and Dark Blue.
It is predicted that pricing for the smartwatch could cost about $349, similar to the current LG Urbane 2nd Edition ($359.99).
The LG Watch Style and the Watch Sport are expected to arrive on Feb. 9 — the same date that Android Wear 2.0 is rumored to officially launch.
