Just like the LG G8 ThinQ
One of the most interesting features of the LG G8 ThinQ is its ability to produce sound without a speaker grille. Instead, it uses vibrations to emit sound through the display. And it looks like this tech might not just be used on phones, as a trademark suggests that LG smartwatches could also have sound-emitting screens.
This, of course, doesn’t necessarily mean a smartwatch with this feature is in the works, as LG could just be covering its bases.

Making the best of limited space
However, it would make sense to include a sound-emitting display on a watch. There’s much less space on a smartwatch than on a smartphone, so eliminating speaker grilles could be beneficial.
That said, the tech required to produce sound through the display will also take up space, so on balance, we’re not sure which solution would be the best use of space.
That watch only launched in October 2018 so we wouldn’t expect to see another smartwatch from LG for a while, but this could be an early hint at one of the features.
