The G Watch, which was launched on Wednesday at Google's annual developers conference, is compatible with a wide range of Android smartphones and will present relevant information to users just when they need it or whenever they say "OK Google" to ask questions or to get their work done.
Besdies the LG G Watch, two other Android Wear devices - Samsung Gear Live and Moto 360 - also debuted at the Google I/O 2014 conference. The Samsung Gear Live is listed on Google's India Play Store as "coming soon". The Gear Live will come to India at Rs 15,900, while the Moto 360 will be available later this summer.
