Eager to see what one of the first Android Wear-powered smartwatches will really look like? Now is your chance.
LG just launched a new teaser site showing off its upcoming G Watch, which is expected to launch sometime this quarter running Google's new operating system for wearables. The square-faced watch sports a "minimal and sleek design" and will come in either "champagne gold" with a white band or "stealth black."
In terms of features, the watch promises to give you "useful information when you need it most," such as directions and calendar reminders. It will be voice-activated, letting you simply speak the phrase "OK Google" to do things like search the Web, set a reminder, or send a text.
The G Watch will also be water- and dust-resistant, so you won't have to worry about it getting ruined in the rain or rough conditions. Unlike Samsung's Gear smartwatches, the screen on the G Watch will never go to sleep, meaning it will always display the time when you look down.
The site lets you drag your mouse over an image of the G Watch to get a 360-degree view of the high-tech timepiece in both color options. At this point, there's still no word yet on pricing, availability, or specs like screen dimensions and battery life.
Meanwhile, Google is working with a handful of other companies on Android Wear-powered devices, including Asus, HTC, Motorola, Samsung, Broadcom, Imagination, Intel, Mediatek, Qualcomm, and Fossil Group. Android Wear is now available to download as a Developer Preview.
