Next week is due to release Android ar 2.0, finally bringing its wearable OS to the masses after several months of delays, but it won’t be the most exciting release of the day. so rumored to be unveiled on Feb. 9 is ’s first foray into wearable hardware, in the form of a watch co-developed with . may have just gotten our first clear look at the device ( its price).

After a pair of low-resolution images surfaced last week, serial leaker Blass posted what is almost certain to be renders of the new tch Style, which Android lice claims will cost $250. Not only does it match with the image that circulated last week, it also jibes with the rumors that had previously been reported. Blass claims that the two models pictured show the watch in silver rose gold finishes, two of the three colors reportedly available for purchase (along with titanium).

The picture shows the two case colors paired with two different-colored bs, though Blass has previously said will sell a line of interchangeable straps for the two models. Additionally, the watch is expected to feature a 1.2-inch, 360×360 display, 512MB of RAM, a 240mAh battery. Bluetooth -Fi are reportedly built in, but cellular connectivity, G, NFC are said to be reserved for the larger, presumably more expensive model.

The bigger Sport model is rumored to include a 1.38-inch, 480×480 screen, 756MB of RAM, a 430mAh battery. Both watches will also apparently include a navigational crown similar to the one Apple uses on its watch, which the picture Blass supplies clearly shows. It’s unclear exactly what functions the digital crown will perform, but it would represent the first such navigational device on an Android ar watch.

ll you want one: It seems like we’ve been waiting forever for Android ar 2.0 arrive, now that it’s finally almost here, we’re going to need a whole new lineup of watches to take advantage of all of the new features. ile the new navigation messaging features will certainly make older watches feel new again, one of the best features, Android y, will need newer hardware to get the full phone-free experience. ile they look nice, the Style watch pictured here reportedly won’t include an NFC chip, thus won’t be able to make payments on the go. That could end up making it feel outdated right from the start.
