Latest LG trademark suggests the G Watch won’t be their only smartwatch
LG’s first smartwatch will be the Android Wear-donning LG G Watch, but that might not be the only one by the South Koean on tap for an eventual release. A new trademark over at the USPTO tells of an “LG W Watch,” listed under the typical categories of fitness apparatuses and devices that communicate with your smartphone.
The trademark doesn’t deliver any other information, though that’s hardly a surprise with these things. With that, we’re left up to our own imagination to figure out what, exactly, is coming.
The focus on fitness would suggest the device might not be quite as big as the G Watch, and instead will be a Gear Fit-like option for those needing a good workout companion. If not that, then we imagine LG could look to create a more affordable option that doesn’t have as many bells and whistles as their flagship unit might.
All of this talk is still premature, though — at this point we’d be happy to see the LG G Watch rolled into town before the summer months drag on (which rumors say will happen as soon as July).
