Much better than the first G Watch. Epic battery life. Zippier processor than its smartwatch competition. Comes with a barometric altimeter for quick elevation checks. OLED display produces nice inky blacks
Almost twice as heavy as the Moto 360. Leather wristband feels like a cardboard strap. Crashy. Screen sensitivity issues

Comfortable design, Shar, bright display, Good voice commands
Android Wear is still limited, Lots of swiping required
The LG G Watch R is a smartwatch worthy of your wrist in terms of style, but Android Wear still needs work. LG was one of the first brands on the scene with an Android Wear device, the G Watch. But while the device was sleek and comfortable, it...

Great battery life (for an Android Wear watch), Sharp aesthetics (assuming you like manly chronographs), Best, brightest display in its category
More expensive than the competition, Big, chunky, potentially polarizing design, Dubious step and altitude data
If you're willing to pay a premium, the G Watch R will give you the best display, battery life and overall aesthetics in the rapidly advancing (but still not fully realized) Android Wear market....
Handsome OLED display makes everything look better, Solidly built, Has a few neat tricks for Android users, Round watches are objectively better than square ones

Attractive design, Full circular display, Improved battery life
Not very unisex, Strap a bit stiff, A bit pricey
With better battery life and a fully circular display, the G Watch R has two distinct advantages over its nearest rival. In many ways, that makes it an open-and-shut case. But, of course, with wearables it's never as simple as that. You may well prefer ho...
