Another Live Photo of the LG G Watch. The soon to be released smartwatch based on Google's new Android Wear platform has been spotted out and about once more, this time as it lies flat on a wooden surface with a charging cable (microUSB) connected to it. It's got a rubber band in this incarnation, as you can see.

The watch is asking its owner to install the Android Wear app on her or his smartphone first, so it looks like that will be a requirement for using Android Wear devices.

The G Watch is expected to become fully official next week during Google's I/O 2014 developer conference. The wearable will apparently be sold through Google's Play Store, it's been recently revealed. It should be out in Europe this month, and elsewhere on July,1st.

Samsung has pushed an update to its original smartwatch, Galaxy Gear converts it to Tizen OS and puts it on par with its successors. However, the new operating system (firmware v2.2 on the Galaxy Gear) introduces little changes to the actual user interface, so you won't need to get acquainted to it again.

What the update does bring is a standalone music player so you no longer need your phone when you go out for a run. It will also improve the battery life as Tizen has been found to be easier on the hardware than Android.

To apply the update you'll need to connect your Gear to your PC and use the Kies software. It will wipe all your data, so make sure to backup any valuable files you might have before proceeding.
