The LG GD910 Watch Phone is a modern marvel of technology

Futuristic in nature and aesthetically pleasing, the LG GD910 Watch Phone is a fully functional mobile phone that is worn as a wristwatch. LG have managed to pack an amazing amount of technology into a watch, which speaks volumes for their technical capabilities. The phone, or watch, whichever way you perceive it, comes with touch screen capabilities as well as internet access, in addition to speech recognition.



As with all watches, the front face is the central element of the unit, only in this case it happens to be a TFT capacitive touch screen which is 1.43 inches in size. Utilising Flash user interface technology, navigation around its integrated functionality is seamless. The display screen is colourful in nature due to its ability to display up to 256,000 colours, which is unheard of within a watch.


The LG GD910 Watch Phone provides vibration and ring alert types in addition to a speakerphone. Downloadable polyphonic and MP3 ringtones can be utilised on the phone as its means of personalisation. All of the standard features that come with a mobile phones such as SMS, MMS are also provided and available on this handset, as well as a browser. The watch phone comes in both white and black and also includes a variety of games for entertainment purposes.


Its internet connection is facilitated by the HSDPA connection which provides speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps. At this speed, this phone allows web surfing at speeds that are generally faster than most landline connections. Blue tooth, which is version 2 with A2DP, is provided as standard as well. Class 10 versions of both GPRS and EDGE complete the connectivity ensemble.


Additional forms of entertainment include an MP3 player, organiser as well as a VGA camera. The camera enables the user to utilise video calling capabilities. The phone is also IPX4 certified which relates to its water jet resistance, and is a useful asset for a phone that is a watch. A text-to-speech capability is another feature of this unit, and one which provides, in conjunction with speech recognition, additional features that are not found in many handsets.


The LG Watch Phone is what many perceive to be the future of mobile phone technology. LG have managed to incorporate an impressive level of technology within a confined space. Many may mistake this as a gimmick, however upon reviewing, it is evident that the future will no doubt encompass handsets that can be worn, and this may well be one of the first.
