Is there a wifi antenna inside the LG G watch R?

Fernando Perez -

Yes, there is a WiFi antenna inside the LG G Watch R, however WiFi functionality was only recently added to the G Watch R in a more recent update via Android Wear.

Mark Fortune -

Are there differences between the UK as US G Watch R?

Where could I find a battery for replacement?

Thanks in advance.

Hi could you post the watch cradle wiring diagram.

I bought non original cradle, and it only can charge, no data connection
