Verizon Wireless is now offering a huge discount on the LG G Watch, selling the gadget for just $99.99, marking a 57 percent price cut.
The LG G Watch came as the company's first smartwatch, and also served as one of the launch vehicles for Google's Android Wear platform back in June. The smartwatch launched with a $229.99 price tag, which was a bit steep for many. While the LG G Watch received various discounts since then, Verizon continued to sell the device at a pretty high price.
The carrier has now slashed the price of the LG G Watch to just $99.99 instead of 229.99, and it is also throwing in free shipping to make the deal even sweeter.
As a reminder, the LG G Watch sports a rectangular 1.65-inch touch-enabled IPS LCD display with a 280 x 280 pixel resolution and packs a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor under the hood, paired with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage capacity. The smartwatch further boasts IP67 certification for both water and dust resistance and features a 400 mAh battery.
The LG G Watch is compatible with Android devices running Android 4.3 or newer, providing useful notifications from the smartphones they're paired with. Moreover, the gadget also aims to bring all necessary information to users' wrists, providing notifications at a glance and allowing users to utter voice commands simply by saying "OK Google."
"Did you ever wish you had one go-to device that could provide you with all the tools and mobile features you need, without having to dig around for your smart phone every time you're in need? Meet the LG G Watch. It brings ease and convenience to your life you never thought imaginable. Smart, attractive, and comfortable - this handy watch is packed with the latest Android technology. It's more than just a watch," Verizon touts in the product description.
LG has also launched a new LG G Watch R with a circular form factor in the meantime, following all the hype surrounding Motorola's Moto 360, but the original LG G Watch is still a very capable smartwatch with neat specs and features.
If the arguably high price tag has put off prospective buyers so far, the new $99.99 price for the LG G Watch on Verizon Wireless should significantly boost sales.
