LG has revealed more information about its upcoming Android Wear running smart watch on its website — the LG G Watch. The smart watch will be available in two colours — stealth black and champagne gold — and will feature an always-on display. 

The watch will also feature water and dust resistant design along with always-on “Ok, Google” voice recognition. The website, however, does not mention the release date or the pricing of the device.

Considering how small the batteries in these smart watches are, it will be interesting to see if the G Watch really comes with an always-on display or not. Most likely, the display will automatically turn on whenever the accelerometer detects any activity.

The LG G Watch and the Moto 360 are among the first Android Wear powered smart watches. Both devices are expected to be unveiled by the end of this quarter for a reported price tag of around $300.
