Emporio Armani unveiled its Android smartwatch at the Milan Men's Fashion Week on 17 June, in Italy. This line of the smartwatch is called the EA Connected smartwatch and is slated to release by autumn this year.

Manufactured in partnership with Fossil Group, this luxury smartwatch comes with a touchscreen which is an added feature to their already existing line of EA Connected Hybrid smartwatches. This one is also powered by Android Wear so it is compatible with both iOS and Android smartphones. Since the smartwatch is powered by Android 2.0, it allows controlling music and gives smartphone notifications as well. The range is technologically more equipped than its Hybrid smartwatch collection.

The watch features customizable watch straps as well as watch faces and it comes tracking activity. It would come with custom AMOLED display screen and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor. The smartwatch comes with micro-apps with different functionalities keeping the customer and brand in mind.

LG Watch Style and LG Watch Sport are two of the first smartwatches that were powered by Android Wear 2.0.
