The Most Expensive Android Wear Yet - LG G Watch R

As I said before, this year many new Android Wears are going to be revealed by the leading companies. Samsung, LG, Motorola have already released their smartwatches this year and now, here comes the successor of LG G Watch, LG G Watch R. Unlike G Watch, this smartwatch has a circular display and is going to give a tough competition to Moto 360.

LG G Watch R is going to hit the market by October at a price of EUR 299 (roughly Rs.23,900), announced by LG. With this price, this smartwatch is going to be the most expensive Android Wear yet. LG G Watch, the first smartwatch of LG is now available at Rs.15,000. But, the new watch gives more premium look.


LG G Watch R features 1.3 inch Plastic OLED circular display and resolution 360*360 pixels. It is having a stainless steel frame and supported by 22mm calf skin leather strap. LG G Watch R will be available in black colour only. It is powered by a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon Processor along with 512MB RAM. It runs on Android Wear, an Android OS specially designed for wearables. It features 4 GB internal storage and is backed by a 410mAh battery. The watch is IP67 certified and is claimed to run for 30 minutes in 1 metre of water.

LG G Watch R has a good voice recognition which provides information about messages, missed calls, upcoming events, weather forecasts, etc. It features a PPG sensor to track user's heartbeats. It also has gyro-sensor, accelerometer, compass and barometer.

LG G Watch R has great specs and features. Also, the look and design of the watch is really good. But, Moto 360 is also a similar kind of watch with more premium look (due to it's metallic strap) and Samsung is also going to launch it's new smartwatch Gear S with 3G connectivity and voice calling. The pricing of LG G Watch R can be a barrier for it's marketing. In that case, Moto 360 and Gear S are going to give a tough battle to it.

  3. After looking AT MOTO 360, now I am waiting for this watch.
    Moto 360 is really disappointing.
