We have already seen the LG G Watch in some press renders and videos from LG. However, details about its internals have been pretty scarce with rumors only suggesting that it would be powered by a Snapdragon chip.

Now, if a purported spec sheet uploaded by @upleaks is to be believed, the LG G Watch is going to come with a 1.65-inch screen touting a resolution of 280*280 and will be powered by a Qualcomm APQ8026 chip.

The watch will also sport 4GB of internal memory and 512MB of RAM. The disappointing part, however, is the standby time which the spec sheet pegs at only 36 hours with a charging time of under 2 hours for the 400mAh battery. If this is true and an indication of how long Android Wear powered smartwatches are going to last, then battery life is going to be their achilles heel.

The folks over at MoDaCo have also received some information about the G Watch releasing on 7th July in the United Kingdom for an MSRP that would be below the Galaxy Gear 2 Neo and the Pebble Steel. The exact price, however, is not yet known.

Considering the earlier leak of Google giving away an LG G Watch to all I/O attendees, which is being held on June 25-26, the July 7th release date seems very plausible.
