While smartwatches still have a long way to go until we can talk about mass adoption, it's fair to say that the LG G Watch R marks a definitive improvement over the previous generation. To a great extent, this has to do with, Google's Android Wear OS, who...
The LG G Watch R feels like a proper watch which just so happens to be smart. It's futuristic, but not showy about it — the last thing I want is strangers on the tube peering over my shoulder every time I give my wristwatch a glance,
But look they will, once you start talking at the thing. Despite what decades of sci-fi movies or Dick Tracy comics may have told you, you look like a dick when barking voice commands into a watch. It's a credit to LG that the only serious issues I have w
The LG G Watch Rs hardware is ready for your wrist. Android Wear? Not so much. As far as smartwatches currently go, the G Watch R sits in the top tier. It may even be the best, if you like its black chunky look, which Im sure many will. But for me, Andr...

With its round design, angular metal frame and selection of gorgeous watch faces, the LG G Watch R is the most attractive Android Wear Smartwatch around. It's battery life isn't bad either
Final pricing is still unclear. Battery life, while better than Android Wear competitors, still isn't good enough for the average person. The watch's design won't appeal to those who prefer sleek, slim timepieces
Although its stark design and beautiful face makes this the first smartwatch you might actually be happy to be seen wearing, its Android Wear software has a long way to go before it's anything more than a passing novelty....
Fantastic build quality, Beautiful design, Vivid display, Great battery performance
May be too large for some
9.0 In the best implementation of Android Wear yet, the LG G Watch R offers nearly everything a potential smartwatch owner could want. Featuring a truly gorgeous design, fantastic build quality, smooth performance, a best in class P-OLED display, and most...
Battery life: 2 days in alwayson. LG says you'll get three if you forego that luxury. This blows away the G Watch R's only competition, round or otherwise, for the time being, Display: Bright with very good viewing angles, and also the highest pixel densi
Wear isn't done: Wear is sometimes useful. I wish it was more useful, but I'm not even sure how I'd go about making it more useful. For the investment you're making, Wear is very much an ideainprogress kind of product, and that's what you should expect wh
This is the first time I've used an Android Wear device, and I have to say, some of my preconceptions ended up getting thrown right out the window after a week. Android Wear can be useful. I really like it when I'm driving - I hate looking at my phone, ev...
An improvement, but not an Android Wear revolutionAs Android Wear watches go, LG G Watch R is a great device — a substantial improvement upon the platform's first-generation wearables. It beats the Moto 360 on battery life, and (literally) outshines the o...
Abstract: As the title of this post suggests, we don't know yet just how much LG's newest smartwatch, the G Watch R, will cost. This is a very important question, because so far in my short time with the device, it actually seems pretty good. It isn't without flaws...

There's little choose between these two round Android Wear smartwatches and a large part comes down to which design you personally prefer. However, on the hardware side of things the LG G Watch R just comes out on top so might be worth paying £20 extra fo...

The Apple Watch will surely generate all the hype, but if you are not an iPhone user at this range we can't see that there is any reason to desire that watch over the better Android watches. The LG G Watch R is certainly one of the latter. Of course we ne...
