About

The LG Watch W7 is a smartwatch compatible with iOS and Android and includes steps, sleep, and calories. It has a touchscreen display with 360 x 360 screen resolution and always-on display capability, on-screen battery indicator and a magnetic charging connector. It has phone notifications, vibration alerts and a find my watch feature. The manufacturer offers changeable straps and weather at-wrist. Its electromechanical watch hands show hours and minutes - mechanical hands of an analog watch laid over a Wear OS-powered digital display, you can shut off all the watch’s “smart” functionality - pressing the top button moves the arms to the 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock positions while pushing the contents of the display up so that the arms are not in the way of reading text. The digital smartwatch's operating system can be shut off by placing the watch in analog only watch mode which improves battery life to last for up to 100 days while acting like a regular analog watch showing only time with the mechanical hands.
