LG G Watch R to be available for purchase in Europe in Nov

LG announced that its newest Android wearable, LG G Watch R, will be available for purchase at retail sites throughout Europe including countries such as France, Italy, Spain and the UK at the beginning of November, followed by key markets in North America, Asia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) soon after. Customers in select markets will also be able to purchase G Watch R on Google Play in the weeks ahead.

The LG G Watch R made its world debut at IFA 2014. It features a 1.3-inch round P-OLED display with a 320 x 320 resoultion, along with a 410mAh battery. It has a 1.2GHz processor, as well as 4GB of internal storage. The G Watch R also has an IP67 water resistance rating.

“While the original G Watch was designed to be a no-nonsense, pure Android Wear device, the G Watch R was developed with a more aesthetic eye,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “The G Watch R represents LG’s commitment to meld form and functionality together in perfect harmony and to create a device that not only looks great, but more importantly, offers technology that makes life more convenient.”

Prices and additional purchase details will be announced locally at time of availability.
