Affordable, slick and a stylish addition to your wrist, this is definitely one to watch (excuse the pun)!After testing out some of the previous models of Android smartwatches, LG's G Watch is a breath of fresh air. It's capable of so much more than simply...

Android Wear makes an impressive debut, but the first hardware – the LG G Watch – is a crashing bore...
The LG G Watch is the best smartwatch we've reviewed so far, partly due to the affordable price tag and the excellent, albeit not flawless, Android Wear system. You will need a device with Android 4.3 or later, though. The design of the G Watch doesn't wo...

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...
