The Moto 360 smartwatch was announced yesterday shortly after Google made the Android Wear project public.

The YotaPhone was originally launched last year with a relatively unique concept combining a conventional LCD panel with a back facing E-Ink display for notifications and other important information. Although the smartphone was announced relatively early in 2013, it never saw a wider release until December. And now, the handset has gone up for sale in the UK as well for £419 or $700.

But we get an even better look at some of Android Wear’s basic features in the overview video below.
