Excellent battery life, Industry standard 22mm Interchangeable bands, Dust and Waterproof, Charging Cradle is easy to use
Really not the most innovative design, No ambient light sensor, Always on display while charging
As soon as Android Wear appeared on Google Play, there was only one choice available for immediate purchase, the LG G Watch. That was all that was behind my decision to purchase the LG over the Samsung. If Samsung had actually gone live at the same time, ...

If you absolutely have to have a smart watch, the LG G-Watch is a winner. Better app support will come in the future, and given the emphasis Google places on Now these days, it's not completely out of the question that Australia get better local functiona...
Nice colour screen; Easy to setup; Google does a decent job of translating your voice commands;
Google may do a decent job of translating voice commands, but there aren't many voice commands for it to translate (yet); Heavier than it looks; Battery isn't great; Doesn't do enough, not yet anyway; Not compatible with anything outside of Android (won't
LG's first watch is better built and more colourful than you might expect out of a company that only recently flirted with the idea of a wristband that did similar things, a product that came to be known as the LifeBand.Compared against that product, the ...

The G Watch shows off Android Wear's impressive voice recognition, Android phone connectedness, and potential for future app support. It has solid build quality, is water- and dust-resistant, and the included magnetic charger is easy to use
A generic-looking design; terrible battery life; a display that doesn't work in bright sunlight; a strange card-based notification system that doesn't always pop info you want; costs more, lacks the heart-rate monitor, and has a slightly weaker display th
The LG G Watch attempts to bring you the future on your wrist, but with its generic design, unimpressive battery life, and unpolished early software, you're better off waiting to see what else is around the bend....
While we've been sceptical of smartwatches in the past on CyberShack, we found the LG G Watch really can make your life easier. Given the immense number of press releases we receive in a day, it's great to not have to pull out the phone, unlock it, go in...
