We never tire of praising the Apple Watch Series 4, but it really is the best smartwatch on the market. It is so much so that the competition itself is having a hard time coping with them. We have just received information about a new smartwatch from the guys at LG, the new LG Watch W7, a new smartwatch with an analog aesthetic ... After the jump we give you all the details of this new LG Watch W7, the arrival of the classic hands from watch to a smartwatch. The clear example that Apple's competition still has a lot to learn to compete with the Apple Watch.
El LG Watch W7 is far from an alternative to the Apple WatchMoreover, I do not understand how they can bring a device with these characteristics to the market, and no, it is not cheaper than the Apple Watch. A new LG Watch W7 that arrives with Google WearOS, and a 1.2-inch circular screen with analog hands, that is, it has a mechanical part, something ridiculous today. Not to mention the mechanism it has to read notifications without disturbing the screen: by pressing the upper right button we will see needles align with 3 and 9 to clear screen, something ridiculous from my point of view ... If something good has this new LG Watch W7, is that the battery could last up to 100 days if we are working only with mechanical mode, that is, without the smartwatch functions themselves. And to top it off, this LG Watch W7 will be released at a price of 450 dollars without a heart rate sensor, GPS, or LTE connectivity ...
Ok that many of you will like the rescue of the classic, and analog, hands of the clock, but the truth is that in the end this physical addition hinders the experience smart of a product with these characteristics. Personally I doubt that something like this is a best seller, who wants a classic watch buys a classic watch, they are very different markets. We will see how the reception of this device is, but we already tell you: Apple's competition is light years away, Apple can rest easy ...
I totally agree. That watch is ridiculous, it shouldn't cost more than 120 us.
What seems interesting to me is one thing, without seeing the detail or on video: have you managed to make a hole in the screen to remove the handles? If so; apple could do the same for the iPhone's camera and other sensors and forget about the bloody horrible notch. do not?
