LG G Watch R now available via Google Play

The under-the-radar Android Wear-based LG G Watch R is now available via the Google Play Store after having been available only through AT&T.
Reads the page: "The timeless design of the LG G Watch R will complete your every look. The 100% stainless steel body, round shape and multiple face options make this watch feel like a classic timepiece."

Besides the retro look and round face, the G Watch R will also be water and dust resistant, include a gyroscope and accelerometer for motion, a barometer for temperature, and a heart rate monitor. LG is also including a few fitness related apps in addition to Google's own.

The device has a 1.3" Full Circle P-OLED, is powered by a Snapdragon 400 processor clocked at 1.2GHz, and has 4GB internal storage. The device should last around 36 hours with regular use before needing a charge.
