Not only that, the structure of having a watch bezel, a crown and two functional buttons placed on the right side of the dial and main body gives a strong image of a regular watch. There is a digital display under the watch hands, but one could easily believe that it is a regular watch if the display is not turned on. It was real watch hands that usually cannot be seen in ordinary smartwatches. The first thing I noticed was nothing else but the watch hands. But the straight cuboid package made of pressed paper does not help at all to rationalize the high price.Īs I opened the box and removed the microfiber cloth, the LG Watch W7 revealed itself, laid with its strap folded in half. The LG Watch W7 is a smartwatch selling at a price of no less than $450 in the US and ₩400,000 in Korea. I was once again surprised that this was a smartwatch package. When I was about to question myself of whether I’ve ordered a smartphone, the product name ‘LG Watch W7’ written in bold on the upper part of the package caught my eyes. When I first saw the delivered black cuboid package, I got confused. The package | I didn’t think it was a smartwatch Because of that, it could be too cruel to tell the harsh reality to the LG Watch W7, a product born from imagination. Interestingly, smartwatch makers challenging to bring such concept into reality began to emerge and the LG Watch W7 took the title of being the latest smartwatch with both real watch hands and a display.Īlthough I am glad that the LG Watch W7 is a smartwatch that turned imagination into reality, I can’t say that it is the right answer to the question of whether it has all the advantages of a hybrid smartwatch. One of the those is the assembly of the display that is placed under the watch hands. Naturally, the first step of this concept is to solve the manufacturing difficulties. I thought that if a smartwatch is made of a real watch with physical hands and a digital display, it could be at least a little helpful in solving the issues smartwatches currently face, such as limited battery life and being a fake watch with just a display. One of those drafts actually had both the features of an analog and digital watch. Years ago, there was a time when I scribbled several draft designs imagining myself a smartwatch.
