LG Smartwatch Overview
The smartwatches of LG have been unique in terms of their design, functions, and lenses too. Lg never fails to offer a new perspective to its users. Perhaps that is the reason why the phones of LG stands out from all the other phones. It manufactures its products in a unique way.
And this is what LG has done with the latest smartwatch it manufactured. It is called the LG Watch W7. This watch is quite different than most of the smart Wear OS watches. Because it comes with hands that are mechanical and layered just over the screen at the top, although this watch’s concept is promising, it is flawed too. One of the best options that this LG’s Watch W7 has to offer is an option of the always-on screen.
The user might not use that option at all times, because there are mechanical watch hands which are run by a movement of quartz. The hands can rest at the top of the display. If the battery of the watch dies off, the time could still be seen by the user. A touchscreen is maintained by this smartwatch. So, the user can swipe around the interface until the content.
Functions
Traditional Watch Look-Alike
The hands that are mechanical on the LG Watch W7 has various benefits. It is designed in such a way that it makes the watch seem more like a traditional watch than a watch that is mechanic. Its design is suitable for people who like to wear watches that don’t look a lot “Tech-y” rather a more subtle design. Additionally, the time of the day can always be told by seeing from the watch because.
Notifications
But the negative aspects of this watch outweigh the aspects that are positive. The watch hands that are mechanical often does not allow the text messages in the notification bar to be seen. Not only text messages, but it happens for other content too. And on the screen, less text is shown at any time.
Before manufacturing this product, the company of LG knew that the users would have a problem, so they made a solution for it as well.
By pressing and holding a button on the top on the right side for shifting the screen up. This helps the users move the bonds that are mechanical to the marks of either 3 p.m or 9 p.m. This function is helpful in various ways, but it can’t be seen anymore, so the whole point of the smartwatch is dissipated. It is up to the user whether or not he would want to press the button of the watch to read the notifications.
Exterior
The options for the size and color of the LG Watch W7 is only one. It’s exterior looks dull and masculine. It possesses a rubber strap of 22mm that is a black colored bezel infusion with a case made of silver. The watch faces available on this product are not as good as they were expected to be.

This chipset has a RAM of 768MB). This processor is approximately three years older. There are plenty of watches that already use these chipsets, and it also brings a battery life that is improved.
