LG G Watch gets price, release date

LG's upcoming G Watch smartwatch has finally been given a release date and price, at least for the European markets.
The watch will be the first to the commercial market using Google's Android Wear operating system for wearables when it hits in June. The watch has been priced at €199 for Europe, with an expected $199 price tag for the U.S., as well.

LG's new endeavor features a rectangular face, a 1.65-inch screen and 4GB internal storage.

Among the specs and features we know about is the fact that the device will have an "always-on" screen, will be dust and water proof and will be available in both black and champagne gold.

Android Wear, introduced by Google earlier this year, is built around the Google Now user interface and includes access to Google Maps and built-in voice controls.

I rather see the specs first and find out what the battery life will be like with this always on screen and what their method of recharging the device. Lets get to the good stuff and find out if its a bust or not. I know I would be buying any of these smart watches that either look like a big square on your arm or an armband, only the motowatch has my attention.
