LG Watch Sport Stories April 30
We’re finally coming up on the release of a Google-branded smartwatch, with the tsunami of leaks to prove it. It’s been years that we’ve been waiting for this, but 2022 isn’t the first time Google tried to release a smartwatch. Years ago, Google planned to release what we now know as the LG Watch Style and Watch Sport as its first Wear OS “flagships,” as the “Pixel Watch.”
Thank goodness that didn’t work out.

The Apple Watch Series 5 last week kickstarted a conversation about Google, smartwatches, and how Wear OS fails to be a meaningful competitor. A new report today sheds light on Made by Google’s smartwatch ambition and how Rick Osterloh in 2016 killed Google-branded devices.

At I/O 2017 and during a Reddit AMA with the Android Engineering team in July, Google mentioned that Oreo is mostly a “technical update” for Android Wear. Today, Google announced an Android Wear beta for the LG Watch Sport.

Verizon’s variant of the LG Watch Sport has been canceled
The LG Watch Sport was Android Wear 2.0’s flagship when it launched earlier this year, but as is the case with many LTE watches, not everyone had access to it right off the bat. Verizon customers were delayed over a month when the watch was first announced, and now, they won’t be getting it at all.

Along with the release of Android Wear 2.0 this month, Google and LG announced two new smartwatches: the Watch Sport and Watch Style. We recently reviewed both of these smartwatches, and now we want to know if either of them interest you. If not, what other smartwatch (if any) are you interested in potentially picking up?

I still look back to the day that Android Wear debuted as the one that I finally took wearable devices seriously. I remember getting excited that, finally, someone had gotten a wearable operating system right. However, after its debut, that shine quickly wore off. I found myself no longer enjoying the ecosystem I had come to love, and looking into other options.
Now, it’s 2017, and it’s been almost a year since Android Wear was on my wrist on a daily basis. In the time since, I’ve used a variety of wearables like the Pebble, the Ticwatch, and Samsung’s Gear S3, all while Google worked on Android Wear 2.0 in the background. Now, Android Wear 2.0 is here, and with it, new hardware.
Google partnered with LG for this new hardware, resulting in two new devices: the LG Watch Sport, and the LG Watch Style. For the past several days, I’ve been using the “flagship” of the two, the Watch Sport…

With the launch of Android Wear 2.0, LG and Google announced the Watch Sport and the Watch Style. While both of these watches were designed to show off the newest version of the operating system, only the Watch Sport comes packing LTE connectivity, an NFC chip, a heart rate sensor, and more.
This comparison will take an in-depth look at these two new smartwatches so that you can decide if you would rather have a feature-packed smartwatch that tends to be on the bulkier side or an elegant and slim device that doesn’t do much more than the basics…

The long-anticipated Google & LG tie-up partner smartwatches have finally hit the physical (and digital) shelves, and now we’ve had a few days to play with and test out the bigger and badder LG Watch Sport in the lead up to our full review. It goes without saying that the Sport is a big watch. It’s the watch that has all the features — bringing you everything that Android Wear 2.0 has to offer — and it’s also the watch that has all the bulk. But there’s more to the story here than just its size…
How to customize the hardware buttons on the LG Watch Sport
One of the physical differences between the more expensive LG Watch Sport and its less expensive brother, the Watch Style, is the addition of two buttons located on either side of the rotating side button. These are designed to be used as shortcut buttons for quickly launching applications and actions on the Watch Sport…
How to insert a SIM card into your LG Watch Sport [Video]
The LG Watch Sport is one of the first smartwatches to come running Android Wear 2.0. The Sport, unlike the Watch Style, has LTE connectivity built in — meaning you can leave the house and leave your smartphone behind.
To do this, though, you will need to have an active SIM card installed to provide your watch with data…

LG Watch Sport specs
Just last week, LG and Google launched two new Android Wear smartwatches alongside the launch of Android Wear 2.0, one of which was the LG Watch Sport. As the larger, more fully-featured wearable of the pair, the Watch Sport brings just a little more to the table compared to many other smartwatches, especially at its price of $349. So, let’s take a quick look at what’s inside the LG Watch Sport…

Google and LG jointly announced the LG Watch Sport and LG Watch Style yesterday, both filling the role of being the first smartwatches to run Android Wear 2.0. While the Style is the stylish and less-powerful of the two, the LG Watch Sport basically brings everything and kitchen sink…

Google and LG announced the LG Watch Style and Watch Sport this morning, and there are plenty of reviews for the new smartwatches already pouring in. We’ve yet to get our hands on units (our reviews are on the way!), but so far it looks like the consensus is about what I expected: There’s lots of new useful features in the latest — albeit delayed — version of Android Wear, but in a variety of ways, these watches don’t show it off as well as they could… expand full story

If the rumored day after launch availability is to be believed, potential buyers of LG’s Android Wear 2.0 devices might have to choose between the two models sooner than later. With the specs and design already pretty much known at this point, which one are you going to buy?
Google confirmed last month that it would be launching two new Android Wear watches in early 2017, and now we’re getting our best look yet at what they’re actually going to look like on paper. A new report out of the usually-reliable Evan Blass (via VentureBeat) says that both devices will be LG-made and will be dubbed “LG Watch Sport” and “LG Watch Style”, as well as details each of the devices’ specifications…
