LG G Watch price plunges to Rs 6,849
NEW DELHI: LG's first Android Wear-powered smartwatch, G Watch is now available online at prices as low as Rs 6,849.
A
seller on Amazon.in started selling the G Watch at Rs 8,426 last week
and now the smartwatch is selling at an even lower price of Rs 6,849 on
the same marketplace. The LG G Watch is also selling at Rs 6,992 on
Snapdeal.
LG G Watch was listed on the Google Play Store in India at a price of Rs 14,999, in June.
The watch was launched globally at $229 but received a $50 price cut in September.
It's
worth pointing out that LG had also introduced G Watch R, a smartwatch
that sports a round form factor like the Moto 360. Perhaps, LG wants to
get rid of G Watch stocks before it makes the new watch available in the
markets.
LG G Watch sports a 1.65-inch IPS LCD(280x280p)
display. It is also powered by a 1.2 GHz Processor and 512MB RAM, and
comes with 4GB internal storage. It has a 400mAh battery. LG G Watch
comes with changeable straps, accelerometer, gyroscope and compass, and
is dust and water resistant(IP67).
The smartwatch is equipped
with Google's voice recognition service and can perform simple tasks
including checking email, sending text messages and carrying out an
online search at users' voice command.
The device cannot make
phone calls but can be connected to many of the latest Android-based
smartphones. The watch can be used with any Smartphone running Android
4.3 and above.
Motorola had also launched its Moto 360 smartwatch
in India at Rs 17,999 with limited stocks on Flipkart. Flipkart and
Motorola have promised to replenish the stocks after the watch sold out
post the initial listing.
