LG Showcases Lifeband Touch In India

LG did show us some neat devices today at the yearly Tech Show. Out of the bunch of devices what caught our eye was the Lifeband Touch smart band, which looks like a futuristic watch. The new device is expected to be priced a little over $ 200 in India that should be roughly around the Rs 15,000 mark. This nifty little device can do a lot once attached to the wrist and also connected to the smart phone.

The smart band comes with an ear piece that connects to the band wirelessly. Together they monitor your heart rate and also display calories burnt during a work out. They sync wirelessly to the LG Fitness app that can be downloaded from Google Play Store. So does the smart watch work with just LG phones only? No, the watch is compatible with other Android phones as well and one can easily sync it up using the fitness app with any other brand of phone. Over that the watch supports iOS as well and one can download the app on Apple devices too from the Apple iStore.

Besides keeping an eye on your health the watch enables you to wirelessly manage music on your mobile phone. We gave this rubberised smartband a go and found it out to be quite nice. The design is modern and display is quite bright. To wear it you need to slide your wrist through the slit opening, which might also be a problem. The smart band might just fall of you wrist while running speedily. The Lifeband Touch will be available in India in the second half of 2014 and if priced well this watch has the potential to be a best seller.
