Having been launched at the October event of Google, the watch is available for pre-booking only and will be launched into the market on October 13. It will be available in the US, UK, and countries like Japan, Taiwan, and Ireland. However, India is yet to see its launch. An expected price of approximately 30,000 INR is estimated in the country. The watch is expected to outshine several intelligent wearables in the market owing to its features coming from two leading companies, making it a potentially powerful device in terms of productivity and design. However, nothing can be said with a cent percent assurance unless customers use the watch and the features are being used in real time. We however hope that the device is going to overwhelm customers and their expectations.
