LG announced an unorthodox smart wearable alongside the V40 ThinQ - LG Watch W7. We got a chance to spend some time with it and we are ready to share our first hands impressions with you.

Developed with Soprod, a company from Switzerland, it looks quite big on the wrist and is not quite as pretty as the Apple Watch 4 or Samsung Galaxy Watch.
