for Today’s Connected Consumer

SEOUL, February
10, 2017 — LG
Electronics (LG) and Google will officially unveil the world’s first smartwatches
to come preloaded with the Android Wear 2.0™ operating system. LG Watch Sport and LG Watch
Style begin their global rollout in the United States starting February 10th
and will be followed by key markets in Europe and Asia via the Google Store and
select retail stores later this month.

The LG Watch Sport and LG
Watch Style, powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ Wear 2100
processor for next-gen wearables, are the first watches running Android Wear
2.0, Google’s
newest wearable OS. Both watches have the
Google Assistant built-in, and the LG Watch Sport supports Android Pay™ with NFC technology. In
addition, these two smart devices provide an improved user interface, enhanced messaging
and advanced fitness features with Google Fit.

First Watches Running Android Wear 2.0

Android Wear 2.0 brings the
Google Assistant [1] to the wrist. Users can reply to a message, set
a reminder, or ask for directions by holding the power button or saying “Ok
Google”. With Google Fit, users can reach their fitness goals through
activities tracking, strength training and coaching. User can also download
their favorite apps directly from the on-watch Google Play Store.

The LG Watch Sport and LG
Watch Style feature circular displays with a rotating side button for easy and
convenient navigation. Users can turn the button with a finger to read messages
or scroll through the app menu and notification. Customizable watch faces allow up to eight
complications so users can see important information at glance. Android
Wear 2.0 improves the messaging experience on the watch. Users can now
handwrite or swipe on a keyboard to respond, or choose a response generated by
Smart Reply, powered by Google’s machine learning technology.

LG Watch Sport: Truly Standalone to Empower

The LG Watch Sport is a
truly standalone, full-featured intelligent watch designed for users who enjoy
dynamic, athletic lifestyles. The new LG Watch Sport is the first Android Wear
smartwatch using Snapdragon Wear 2100 to feature 4G LTE connectivity and a
range of independent features that makes it virtually phone-free. It can run apps
without a phone and features built-in GPS, a useful feature for runners and
athletes. And with support for Android Pay
[2], users can make payments by simply tapping
their wrist to the reader.

The device offers a bright 1.38-inch
full circle P-OLED display and features a body constructed of 316L grade stainless
steel, Gorilla Glass 3 and a durable thermoplastic polyurethane band with a dust
and water resistance rating of IP68. The LG Watch Sport features a photoplethsmogram
(PPG) sensor to accurately track the wearer’s heart rate during both rest and
exercise.

LG Watch Style: Small, Slim, and Stylish

The LG Watch Style is a
small, slim, and stylish accessory designed for urbanites who seek chic looks
with the practicality of a smartwatch. The new LG Watch Style offers all the
conveniences in an attractive design and three striking colors: silver,
titanium and rose gold. Its interchangeable snap-and-swap bands permit users to
customize the watch to suit their mood or wardrobe. And its 10.79mm thick case
is slim enough to fit under any sleeve and its IP67 rating gives wearers the
peace of mind even in the rain.

“LG and our partners at Google managed to
include a tremendous number of innovative technologies into the LG Watch Sport
and the LG Watch Style,” said Juno Cho, president and CEO of LG Electronics
Mobile Communications Company. “This dynamic duo of devices offers cutting-edge
functions in terms of personalization and empowerment, freedom and convenience
to meet diverse consumer tastes.”

“Android Wear 2.0 focuses on making smartwatch
experiences better and faster – including watch faces that bring glanceable
data, fast and fluid messaging, and a new fitness experience that helps you
track workouts and stay motivated with music,” said David Singleton, vice president
of Android Engineering, Google. “We have enjoyed working closely with LG
Electronics to craft a deeply integrated hardware and software experience
taking full advantage of the new features of Android Wear 2.0 with these new
flagship watches.”

Both the LG Watch Sport and the LG Watch Style will be
on display at MWC 2017 in Barcelona, Spain from February 27 to March 2.
