There have been reports of LG working on two new
Wear OS smartwatches. Both watches were seen on the website of the FCC weeks
ago but there is still no info on a release date. A new report has surfaced
revealing what may be the name of one of the watches.
A couple of weeks ago, LG was granted a trademark in
Korea for the word “Libre” for its smartwatches. This has led to speculations
that one of the watches, most likely the sports variant will launch as the LG
Watch Libre.
The word Libre loosely translates to the state of
being free, (being) at liberty, or having freedom. Not to be confused with the
word “free” which means not required to pay for something. Libre is similar to
the root of the English word “Liberty”.
So it shouldn’t be surprising that the sports model
is called Libre. Although, I think the LG Watch Liberty sounds like a better
name. There is no confirmation yet, so this is pure speculation. LG is also
working on a hybrid smartwatch with mechanical and digital parts. The watch is
expected to launch as the LG Watch Timepiece. It was first reported as far back
as April but still doesn’t have a release date yet.
