LG has launched an official website for its upcoming G Watch – its first smartwatch powered by Google’s Android wear.

As is usually the case, the site offers plenty of new details about the device including colours, features and functionality info, plus a few new images too.

Firstly, it will be available in two colours; ‘Champagne Gold’ and ‘Stealth Black’. While the latter uses only a single colour, the former swaps in a white wristband and a subtle gold trim around the edge of its rectangular display.

Secondly, the G Watch will be water and dust resistant. LG says you’ll be able to wear it for outdoor activities and “rough conditions”, which suggests durability is one of the manufacturer’s top priorities. The company is also touting an always-on display that “never sleeps” While some smartwatches require a gesture or input to activate, it seems the G Watch will remain active.

Hopefully, LG will announce pricing and release date details soon. Check out some screenshots of the LG G Watch below and head to the official website here.
