LG has revealed the G Watch! This smartwatch is powered by Android Wear and will be the low barrier offering of the platform.
LG is working closely with Google and will support a wide range of Android smartphones.
Sleek and lightweight for all-day comfort. Metal body for a timeless look. Ready for anything, anytime with a single charge. It is time to experience LG G Watch.
The Verge takes a hands-on look at the LG G Watch running Android Wear.
CNET's Scott Stein shows off Samsung's first smartwatch running Google's recently previewed Android Wear. The new watch can connect to the Internet and lets you check things like your heart rate. It's available for order today at the Google Play store, but pricing has yet to be disclosed.
Initial impressions from a few minutes use left me with the feeling that it was at least as comfortable as a standard wrist watch, and longer use has reinforced that impression. The watch is light, and the face, while fairly large, isn't too big as long as you don't have tiny wrists. LG claims to have designed for everyone, regardless of wrist type and gender, but it's still going to look large on smaller arms. Voice input on the G Watch is solid.
Google has clearly put a lot of thought into Android Wear, and what to include, as well as what to leave out. With apps optimized for Wear, you can open up to the relevant page within an app from the watch, and you can also reply to messages in apps like Hangouts via voice input. TechCrunch takes a look at the features of the new LG G watch.
This is our hands-on of the LG G Watch, LG's first smartwatch running on the Android Wear platform.
