Minimalist styling, lots of potential for Android Wear, water and dustproof
Monolithic styling, separate charging dock, Android Wear still developing
It's a little hard to see the LG in the LG G Watch -- this seems very much like a Google device. And as a showcase for Android Wear, it feels very much like the beginning rather than the finished product. Its minimalist good looks will still seem like a...
Abstract: It's a wearable tech bonanza this week on the ITProPortal podcast. We've been playing with the LG G Watch and - once we'd stopped jumping up and down with excitement - the heavily anticipated Google Glass....

Most affordable entry point to Android Wear, slick and fast, comfortable to wear, open to personal strap choices
Outdoor visibility is poor, battery life isn't long enough, design perhaps a little too generic, voice-centric operation
Priced at £159 it's the asking price that puts the LG G Watch within reach of many. For those fans of technology, and fans of Android, this is a great entry point to a new world of Android Wear smartwatches. But is this the smartwatch experience we...
Intuitive to use, Excellent for Android power users, Water and dust resistant
Battery life is poor, Unit is easily marked
Given the amount of time it has taken for someone to really nail the smartwatch concept, it's tempting to suggest that perhaps the idea of wearable tech isn't all it's cracked up to be. However, we're inclined to believe that all the idea needed was the...

Android Wear is mostly brilliant, Comfortable to wear, Compatible with most Android devices, Waterproof
Battery life, Needs a charging cradle, Uninspired design
Open Gallery The G Watch gets a lot right and not that much wrong. And in Android Wear, it has the best smartwatch OS we've seen: it's somehow incredibly simple and awesomely ambitious at the same time. But while we'd definitely choose the G Wa...
The LG G Watch showcases the potential of Android Wear, but the hardware is just not up to scratch. The wait for the definitive smartwatch continues....

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....
The first thing that hits you about the LG G Watch is just how much the Android Wear OS dominates the experience. LG has created a product which is subtle and understated, and this allows Google's smartwatch concept to shine through, Compared to the compl
Smartwatches have always struggled when it comes to stamina, and the G Watch is sadly no exception. With normal use you can expect to get around two days before needing to charge, and because you can only topup the battery with the bespoke charging dock,
Google set out to redefine the concept of the smartwatch with its Android Wear platform, and while the G Watch hits a lot of high points, it's doesn't quite knock the ball out of the park. Battery life isn't fantastic, and the body in which LG had placed ...
