Verdict

The LG Lifeband Touch is a wearable fitness tracker featuring a 0.91-inch OLED monochrome touchscreen with a 128 x 32 resolution, powered by a 90mAh battery that offers approximately two to five days of life. It utilizes a 3-axis accelerometer and an altimeter to track steps, distance, speed, and calories, and can pair with specialized heart-rate monitor earphones via Bluetooth 4.0. Main characteristics include its sleek, clasp-less rigid band design, music playback controls, and smartphone notifications for calls and messages on both Android and iOS. Its primary pros are its broad compatibility with third-party apps like Runkeeper and MyFitnessPal, as well as its intuitive gesture-based display activation. However, notable cons include a screen that is nearly unreadable in direct sunlight, a bulky and non-adjustable fit, and limited notification functionality when paired specifically with iPhones.
