LG G Watch R Release Date: Retailers list wearable for October 24 launch


The LG G Watch R could be landing in the UK as soon as Friday, latest reports have suggested.


Two UK retailers – Clove and Unlocked Mobiles – are listing LG’s latest wearable as being in stock starting from tomorrow, October 24.


Head over to Clove’s website and you’ll see that the online retailer is promising to start shipping the smartwatch on Monday, October 27. Unlocked Mobiles, however is offering the wearable even sooner. The retailer has tagged up its LG G Watch R page with a giant header that reads: ‘Pre Order. Stock due in tomorrow.’


LG has remained mum thus far on a specific release date for the watch, so it’s interesting that these two retailers are so sure they’ll be getting the devices at the same time.


Clove is flogging the LG G Watch R for £225, while Unlocked Mobiles has marked it up at a slightly higher £229.


We’ve contacted LG for an official statement on the release date, and we’ll update this article as soon as we know more.


LG announced its G Watch R about two months ago, naming it as the successor to the original LG G Watch.


The Android Wear-powered device packs a Snapdragon 400 processor, an IPS display, 4GB of built-in storage, 512MB of memory, and a sizeable 410mAh battery.


It sports a circular frame, a metallic build, and an IP67 rating that certifies it as good to go at underwater depths of 1 metre for 30 minutes.


The display measures up at 1.3-inches, with a resolution of 320 x 320.
