The $450 LG Watch W7 is what you get when you put mechanical hands on a giant digital screen |

The V40 isn’t the only new trick up LG’s sleeve this fall. Also on tap is the LG Watch W7, the company’s first smartwatch in 18 months. It’s a new sort of hybrid that promises extra-long battery life.We’ve seen plenty of hybrid Wear OS smartwatches from the likes of Fossil, Misfit, and Nokia/Withings, but the W7 puts a unique spin on the concept. Instead of a small screen for steps and mini alerts, LG’s new wearable has a full 1.2-inch screen that runs Wear OS 2.1, so you’ll be able to use apps just like you would on a normal smartwatch.What makes the W7 a hybrid is a pair of ever-present mechanical hands. That means you can tell time even after the battery can no longer power the full smartwatch screen. The W7’s 240mAh battery isn’t that big, but LG promises a whopping 100 days of use, if you count non-smartwatch use.To read this article in full, please click here
