Low battery life, Usefulness is subjective, No heartrate monitor
The LG G Watch is sweet, and with a price tag of $229, it's really easy to make it an impulse buy. I mean, if you're buying a decent watch anyway, you're likely going to be in the neighborhood of $300-500. And those watches won't show you Facebook notifi...
Sharp and clear display, Easy to use software, Permanently displays the time
Long messages cannot be fully read, Multiple messages cannot be read, Battery life is one day, Lack of auto screen brightness
Google and Android Wear has done much to move the smartwatch market forward. It has taken a leaner and more intelligent approach than Samsung’s throw-everything-at-the-wall, hope-some-sticks philosophy. No one needs to make calls with their watch and we ...
Good screen, understated design, decent performance
Android Wear isn't business ready, woefully short battery

Decent price, Voice command work well, Feels comfortable, Early adopter geek points,
Uninspiring design, Bad battery life, No heart rate monitor, Washed out display,
Like the first Android smartphones, the LG G Watch feels more like a taster of what's to come rather than a game-changing device in itself. Sure, it's well made and works efficiently but it's also pretty dull looking and Android Wear features feel a bit l...

The screen is virtually unreadable outdoors in dimmed mode, Settings and apps are hidden away making the initial “getting to know you” period a little awkward, The charging dock being the only way to charge the watch is ridiculous, The current app selecti

Android Wear makes an impressive debut, but the first hardware – the LG G Watch – is a crashing bore...
The LG G Watch is the best smartwatch we've reviewed so far, partly due to the affordable price tag and the excellent, albeit not flawless, Android Wear system. You will need a device with Android 4.3 or later, though. The design of the G Watch doesn't wo...
LG's first attempt at a smart watch manages to tick most of the right boxes, but it isn't the leap forward for wearables we were hoping for. This is partly due to Android Wear being in its infancy, with many apps and features still waiting to make an appe...
