LG Working with Google to Launch G Watch Powered by Android Wear

LG Electronics is working with Google on a LG G Watch powered by Android Wear.

LG G Watch will be compatible with a wide range of Android smartphones and will present information to users just when they need it or whenever they say “OK Google” to ask questions or get stuff done.

LG is planning to introduce its first watch powered by Android Wear in the second quarter of 2014.

This is LG’s fourth device developed in close collaboration with Google following the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, and the LG G Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition.

“The opportunity to work with Google on LG G Watch was the perfect chance for LG to really pull out all stops in both design and engineering,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “With the LG G Watch, LG is continuing the milestones we’ve set in wearables following in the footsteps of the world’s first 3G Touch Watch Phone in 2009 and the Prada Link in 2008. We’re confident that a well-designed device has the potential to take the smart wearable market by storm.”
