While I realise that Android Wear still isn't ready for the mainstream (and so does LG), there's no doubt that if this watch was sitting under the Christmas tree I would be cock-a-hoop. The design is great and really does scream 'premium' more than any o...
Abstract: Does a wristwatch have to be round? What advantage does it actually bestow over a square or rectangle or any other shape? LG's G Watch R improves in that sense from the original G Watch with a rounded OLED face, but it makes a number of compromises to get...
Good sportswear design, quality manufacturing, Beautiful POLED screen that's easy to see in all settings, Content actually fills the whole screen, Fast charging (1 hour), Wrist straps easy to change
Battery life could be longer, No ambient light sensor, Default straps a tad too stiff, No induction charging, Android Wear needs more features, Too masculine?
The G Watch R isn't perfect, mainly due to short battery life—even though it's the longest-lasting of all the Android Wear watches...). But LG transformed its try from the first G Watch, making it easier and more enjoyable to wear, and making an interface...

Abstract: Smartwatches - they're the aspect of the wearable revolution that everyone seems to have fallen most in love with. The Apple Watch has been a hot topic since it was announced in September last year, and with wearable and IoT platforms continuing to develo...
Abstract: The LG G Watch R is one of the latest timepieces from LG, which was among the first to the Android Wear party with the original G Watch, and now its circular successor is here. Is it the best Android Wear watch to date, and do you really need all your not...
Abstract: I had originally planned to do a review of both smart watches but after doing the LG G Watch R review I noticed that there were already loads of Moto 360 reviews out there so I decided a head-to-head would be a little more interesting. After all these two...
