LG Electronics, South Korea’s No. 2 tech giant, said Monday it would start sales of its first round smart watch at home next week.
The LG G Watch R, which was showcased at the IFA trade show last month, comes with a 1.3-inch full circle polymer-organic light-emitting diode screen. Powered by Android Wear, it comes with a heart-rate sensor, like flagship wearable devices by Samsung Electronics Co.
The 410 mAh-battery model weighs 62 grams and comes only in black. The domestic factory price is fixed at 352,000 won ($330) and will hit local shelves on Oct. 14.
LG said it has not yet decided the launch schedule for other countries but added it would soon, in line with the release in South Korea.
The release comes three months after LG started sales of its first full-fledged wearable, the square G Watch, which comes with a 1.65-inch in-plane switching display. The watch was LG’s first smart device powered by Google’s Android Wear platform.(Yonhap)
