The only place that Canadians can buy the new LG G Watch right now is through Google Play. LG Canada is working to make it easier for consumers to pick up the Android Wear-powered smartwatch.
Both TELUS and Videotron will begin to carry the LG G Watch in early August. Pricing will be the same as on Google Play at CA$249.99 but only the black model will initially be available. LG is also working with national retailers such as Best Buy and Future Shop and additional carriers later on.
Here is a quick remind of the LG G Watch’s specifications:
