LG Lifeband Touch review of its best features and specs

The LG Lifeband Touch is not very impressive until you have real need of a fitness tracker to tell you whether you’ve exercised enough or not, something most of us can figure out for ourselves without asking a gadget. Thankfully, the company has added a couple of features which make it a wee but more useful than some rivals including the Nike Fuelband.

Starting with a review of the design and appearance, the LG Lifeband Touch follows the same design aesthetics as most other fitness trackers, materializing as a thick, flexible, black bracelet which clings to the area above your wrist and has an open end to let you slide it on with ease. The display on the device is an OLED, touchscreen panel in black and white.

In addition to the touchscreen, a glowing button is also present to assist you in interacting with the Lifeband. You can charge this wearable via the power pins hidden on the inside, though you will only need to juice it up every 5 days or so. The LG Lifeband Touch happens to be water resistant, though you can’t actually take it for a shower or a dip in the pool.

The internal components of the LG Lifeband Touch include an altimeter and a 3D accelerometer. The device can be hooked up to Android or iOS handsets over Bluetooth as well as the company’s very own Heart Rate Monitor Earphones. It’s open to third party apps, something which many who are using compatible health applications and developers may take to.

But the LG wearable is more than just a fitness tracker to help you keep tabs on calories burned, steps taken and so on and so forth. It also fits in controls for music playback on your phone, volume rockers, offers call alerts, lets you silence incoming calls and lights up when you swing your wrist upwards to check its display for notifications.

So all in all, the LG Lifeband Touch is a small step up from a regular fitness tracker which can only deliver data on your active lifestyle. The company has put a tentative price of $149.99 to the device at present.
