Best Buy slashes $50 off the LG G Watch prior to G Watch R announcement at IFA

If you’re in the market to grab an Android Wear device, you might be interested in hearing that Best Buy just slashed $50 off the price of the LG G Watch, an Android Wear device that was officially released just a little over 2 months ago. This means that while Google is still selling the device at the launch price of $229.99, you can grab the watch at Best Buy’s website for a cool $179.99. It seems as if both the black and white models are still in stock at the time of this writing.

Notably, this price drop has hit the web not long before LG is expected to make some big announcements at IFA 2014, one of which being the company’s round smartwatch entry, the LG G Watch R. There’s no way of knowing how long this sale will last, but in case you miss it, it looks like at least one vender on Amazon is selling the device for $199 + shipping. I would argue that the G Watch should have always been more on-par with the Samsung Gear Live, which retails at the slightly lower $199 price.
