I'll come right out and say this: don't buy the Watch Style. It's not appreciably different than older watches, and in some ways it isn't even as good. The battery life is mediocre, there's no speaker, no heart rate sensor, and the band is too narrow (in...

The LG Watch Style is a really nicely designed smartwatch with great performance that shows most of the best features of Android Wear 2.0. But man, the battery. The coolest features in the world are kind of lame when your device dies halfway through using...
Sporty design includes extra buttons and more features, Display is large, works very well, Rotating dial is a wonderful addition to it and Wear 2.0, IP68 rating makes it depth resistant, Android Pay support, Cellular network capable, Wear 2.0 a great step
Body is large, not for everyone, Watchstraps are fixed, cannot be changed, Battery life is only decent, requires micromanaging for longevity

The threelayer design is clean and modernlooking, if a bit unoffensive, This thing is so, so smooth. Using any other Android Wear watch now feels sluggish, Android Wear 2.0 brings a ton of new features, as well as a UI refresh. I also love the scrolling c
At 240mAh, the Style's battery is extremely small, and it definitely shows. It's sufficient to get through a day of use, but nothing more, This thing has no heart rate sensor, no NFC / Android Pay, no GPS, and no LTE, $249 seems a bit steep for what you g
So now, let's get back to the title - what makes this the Google Pixel of Android Wear smartwatches? A smaller, lower-res, yet still decent display? Check. Slightly quirky yet unoffensive design? Check. Brand new software and a guarantee for getting the q...

The LG Watch Style is slim and has an Apple-like rotating crown for easier navigation. Its Android Wear 2.0 software is more user-friendly than its predecessor
Its tiny battery doesn't last a full day. There's a limited number of useful apps, no NFC for mobile payments, no speaker, no heart-rate sensor and no GPS
There are better (and longer-lasting) smartwatches available to go with both Android and iPhones...
The LG Watch Style is definitely the most stylish Android Wear watch ever, but I'm stuck on the fact that it doesn't have wireless payment abilities. Even the Apple Watch has Apple Pay!I'm aware that there's a practical reason for why the LG Watch Style...

Abstract: LG is no stranger to making Android Wear smartwatches. In fact, the South Korean company is arguably Google's greatest smartwatch partner, having created the first consumer Wear device: the very rectangular G Watch. Lately though, Android Wear hasn't been...
Android Wear 2.0 is faster and easier to use than before, Rotating dial makes navigating easier, Handy Play Store integration, Water resistant
Terrible battery life, Design isn't actually stylish, New Android Wear actions are inconsistent
As one of the two first watches to launch with the long-awaited update to Android Wear, the LG Watch Style is sadly underwhelming. Despite its name, the Style has a bland design and only meets Android Wear 2.0's minimum hardware requirements. On the brigh...
