Add Korean manufacturer LG to the multitude of names looking to produce a smartwatch, adding its name to the list which includes Apple's rumored iWatch, Samsung and Google; LG had produced watches before, dating back to 2009's LG GD910 which was supposed to allow the user to make video and voice calls and which was gone before you could blink an eye...

Samsung did a phone-watch way back in 1999. Oh wait ... Sir Johnny didn't get this programmed i guess :)

Will these glasses also double as 3D glasses for their 3D TVs?

LG needs to stick with making TV's and appliances.

I will say this, when it comes to LG making a product they generally make it affordable.

Lol. Next, BB is gonna make a BBwatch and Nokia is gonna make a Windowswatch.

The N-Watch (remember N-Gage?)

The N-Gage is a mobile phone and handheld gaming system, it is not a watch.

Who cares? Few want a touch screen that tiny. No wonder DickTracy is always squinting.

I find it funny that PA's built-in censor doesn't allow the name d**k. (not my edit)

I'm sorry Phonearena but you are wrong. I read the article from Koreatimes(source) and THE ARITICLE SAID THAT LG DID NOT MENTIONED ABOUT THE OS. (I am Korean)

I got a chance to use lg gd 910 a couple of years ago, the screen was way too small for me to operate properly.

Hm I've gotta give it to LG, even though I don't buy too many of their products I can tell they're putting in a lot of effort to get themselves out there. If it'll work... who can say?

While others would just be announcing and feeding the press Goophone from China will launch it before all of them :D
