LG G Watch in stock now for immediate despatch

William Judd

The LG G Watch is the first Android Wear smartwatch, and it was set to be released on July 7th. Happily, the G Watch has arrived a week ahead of schedule here at Mobile Fun! We’ve received stock today, and we’ll be sending out all orders made by 6pm tonight – so with next day delivery, you could get your G Watch tomorrow. We’re the first retailer in the UK to have stock, and a week earlier than Google Play!

You’ll need these APKs

While the G Watch is already here, the necessary software won’t go live on the Play Store until the 7th of July. Thankfully, you can just download the .APK files from us that you need in the meantime. You’ll need one APK for the Google Wear app itself, and five additional APKs which will update various Google apps supported by the watch. All must be installed before the Wear app will launch.

Here are the APK download links – you can download each one separately directly from your phone, or download a .ZIP file that includes all APKs, unzip it and then copy it to your Android device via USB.

Remember that you’ll have to enable installation of apps from unknown sources in your security settings for this to work.

We’ve tried the apps on a Samsung Galaxy S5 (running Android 4.4) and Nexus 5 (running Android L), and they installed and ran without issue on both phones. Installation (including download times) took only a couple of minutes.

Once you have everything installed, pairing is simple – just turn on the watch and start the Google Wear app on your phone. You’ll be asked to turn on Bluetooth, then pairing will be suggested automatically. Enable notifications on your phone, and you’re ready to start swiping away on the G Watch!

Note that some Google services may not work – in our testing pretty much everything was fine, but this isn’t
