CNET first took a look at the device earlier this year at CES 2014. The iOS- and Android-compatible watch is equipped with a 0.9-inch OLED screen, Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, and a 90mAh battery. In addition to tracking your activity with its built-in accelerometer, it can also control your music, display call notifications, and silence calls.
To track a user’s heart, the Touchband works in conjunction with LG’s Heart Rate Earphones. It features Bluetooth 3.0 and a 200mAh battery. Inside each earbud is a “PerformTek” sensor that collects data about your heart rate and oxygen consumption.
