The LG Watch Style wearable is a new piece of technology that was designed in collaboration with Google and is set to be one of the first devices that will feature Android Wear 2.0. While other devices on the market look overtly modern, the LG Watch Style has a round aesthetic that makes it appear more welcoming and organic on the wrist.
The water-resistant design of the LG Watch Style makes it suitable for light splashes yet isn't intended to be fully submerged in water. A single button on the side of the LG Watch Style wearable allows users to scroll through the interface, while the incorporation of the Google Assistant lets you make reservations and get directions without having to take out your phone.
