Bluetooth technology allows users to pair the device with an earpiece for hands free (literally) use. It features LG’s advanced voice recognition and synthesis technologies, which are particularly useful when on the move.

Reviews
“the LG GD910 is not the best phone and it sure would’ve helped if it looked a nicer watch. But it might turn to have potential. It’s probably not too farfetched to even envision a sporty outdoor version – you know, taking your morning jog or weekend hike with your favorite music and without missing your calls.” – (GSM Arena, 2009)
