A new LG smartwatch has crossed the FCC to get the certifications it needs to come to market. This version of the G Watch is called the LG-VC100 and is destined for Verizon. Interestingly, this smartwatch will have its own SIM card.
That indicates it will be capable of making calls without needing a smartphone. The FCC says that the device is a smartwatch with CDMA network support. This is an ellipse shaped smartwatch, which can be divined from the measurements of the watch excluding the strap offered by the FCC.
We know the watch itself measures 57.5mm long and 35.5mm wide. It will operate on CDMA2000 (BC0 and BC1) networks. This device might fit into the existing G Watch line or it may be a new device altogether, only time will tell since the FCC doesn't call out an official name for the product. So far, LG has already launched the G Watch in square form factor, as well as announced the G Watch R in round shape.

There are some outstanding details that we just don’t have at this time, like when the watch will launch, what hardware it will use, and what it will cost. The only thing we can do is wait, sometimes after crossing the FCC products take months to come to market and other times they land shortly after the FCC stamps them as good. I'm sure LG would like the product to be on the market in time for holiday shopping.
