It was an open secret that LG it would present the LG G6 in addition to two new watches at MWC. The avalanche of rumors made very clear the intentions of the Korean manufacturer that has been one of the clear winners of this edition of the Mobile World Congress 2017 along with Huawei and its new P10.
The LG G6 left me with very good feelings when I had the opportunity to try it, now it's the turn of the LG Watch Style, a smartwatch with Android Wear 2.0 that has some very interesting details.
LG bets on a simple design for its LG Watch Style
Unsurprisingly, the LG Watch Style features a circular sphere. The vast majority of manufacturers have opted for a screen of this type, leaving behind the rectangular design for smart bracelets.
The body of the LG Watch Style is made of 316L stainless polished aluminum, providing the device with great robustness. Of course, the back of the watch is made of plastic. To say that the touch is very pleasant and the wheel, located on the right side of the watch, offers a perfect route to allow fluid navigation through the different menus of the watch.
As the name suggests, the watch is a device with a very own style. A small smartwatch that adapts perfectly to thinner wrists, making it a very important option for women.
One of the problems with most smartwatches comes with their size: being too large they do not fit very well on thinner wrists, but this Watch Style solves this problem thanks to its compact body (only 10.8mm thick).
Note that the LG Watch Style, which comes with certification IP67 To provide the device with resistance to dust and water, it has a conventional system of straps that allows us to change them to choose the one we like the most.
Seeing the watch on the counter, I got the feeling that it was a cheap device, especially if we take into account its 46 grams of weight. But After putting it on, I have to say that it feels really good on the wrist, offering a great feeling of solidity.

In terms of technical characteristics, we are facing a watch that will allow the latest version of Google's operating system for wearables to be moved smoothly and fluidly. I was testing the clock at the stand for a long time and the truth is that it was going very well, allowing you to navigate through the different applications without problems. Yes, lThe side wheel becomes an essential if we want to avoid that the screen ends up marked with hundreds of fingerprints.
La display with P - OLED technology and a resolution of 360 x 360 pixels it offers very vivid colors with deep blacks, something to be expected on such a screen. The screen will allow us to read any document without problems. We will have to test it outdoors to see how the new LG watch behaves in situations with a lot of light, but the section of the screen looks very good in general.
LG Watch Style arrives with Android Wear 2.0 so we can use any application without problems. The fact that the watch does not have a heart rate sensor takes many points away from a device that will hit the market shortly at a price that will be around 250 euros.
A very interesting watch that is clearly aimed at those who are looking for a small and comfortable to wear smartwatch.
