The LG G Watch release date is still pegged for this second quarter, reportedly within the last weeks of June.

LG is quite transparent with the details of the device, including the specs. The company is also set to host a "G" branded press conference today, where the G Watch is expected to be presented in greater depth and detail.

James Marshall of LG Europe sets expectations straight. "You can expect it in quarter two of this year, so very, very quickly." Reports suggest the market is in for a special treat come the LG G Watch release date, as the company's next generation of smartphone (LG G3) is also scheduled to roll out on the same day.

Two flagship products shipping on the same day creates a bigger impact, with bundle offerings a possibility. This is LG's return to the smart-watch race, after five long years of hiatus.

The LG G Watch is highly anticipated, primarily due to reports that it'll feature 3G connectivity; a wristwatch and mobile phone rolled into a compact unit with sleek design. The watch will connect to 3G networks with a Universal Subscriber Identity Module.

The LG G Watch release date anticipates offerings from the competition, including the Samsung Gear 2 smartwatch (Samsung Gear Solo). Motorola is also offering a similar device, the Motorola Moto 360 (theguardian.com).

The LG G Watch will have a 1.65 square inch screen and a sleek, lightweight metal body. It's also IP67 water and dust resistant. Design options appeal to both genders; it comes in white, as well as in black with gold trim, elegant and feminine.

The device runs on Google's Android Wear, OS specifically developed for wearable gadgets. Current leaks hint the watch will feature a variety of 3G capabilities.

The official LG G Watch release date could be announced today at the LG G3 event. The company will likely host a separate launch for its newest smartwatch contender, though (trustedreviews.com).
