The LG G Watch R will be receiving Wi-Fi connectivity in a future maintenance update, set to roll out in the third quarter. Loaded with Wi-Fi functionality, Android Wear 5.1.1 was expected to bring Wi-Fi connectivity to the LG G Watch R, however, LG didn’t include it in the update, despite hardware being there to support it.

LG in an official statement said that the G Watch R will be getting the Wi-Fi features in a maintenance update, set to launch in the third quarter. That could be anywhere between July 1 and September 30.

While the LG G Watch does not have the hardware to support Wi-Fi, the G Watch R does. However, it needs a little optimizing, as LG didn’t build the smartwatch with Wi-Fi in mind, thus the additional time it’ll take to get working Wi-Fi on the device.

LG wasn’t clear whether the maintenance update would be from them or if they’ll be waiting for another Google-issued Android Wear software upgrade. In the meantime, you can check out our review on the LG G Watch R.
