While we've been sceptical of smartwatches in the past on CyberShack, we found the LG G Watch really can make your life easier. Given the immense number of press releases we receive in a day, it's great to not have to pull out the phone, unlock it, go in...

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....

Not yet. If a smartwatch is a thing you desperately want, the LG G Watch is the prettiest hardware you can buy right now, but you should definitely wait until the end of the summer to see if the stunning Moto 360 is any good. You should also wait until An...
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...

Android Wear is a truly compelling wearable platform that engages both users and developers. Existing Android users will discover catharsis in performing notification triage, and learn to appreciate the simple voice- and touch-based actions developers hav...
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...
