LG has announced today that its all three smartwatches – LG G, LG R and LG Urbane will become Wi-Fi capable, allowing wearers to receive notifications and other information on their wrists even without a Bluetooth connection. All these three watches will become more versatile once the Firmware Over-the-Air (FOTA) update is rolled out around the world in the coming weeks by LG.
In addition to Wi-Fi capabilities with the upcoming update, all three LG devices will now support interactive watch faces which owners can download from Google Play. Interactive watch faces allow users to tap on specific areas of the watch display in order to see additional related information.
The latest update will also allow LG’s Android Wear devices to support useful apps that perform specific functions, such as displaying a four-day weather forecast or performing translations in numerous foreign languages right on the watch itself. As there’s no need to pull out and turn on a phone, Android Wear apps deliver convenience and save time for active and busy users.
