Further LG G Watch specs set to feature include Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 400 processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage and a 400mAh battery.
The LG G Watch is available for pre-order through the Google Play store right now. Both the White Gold and Black Titan iterations are being listed alongside the promise orders will be “dispatched from [the] warehouse by July 4”.
