Intuitive to use, Excellent for Android power users, Water and dust resistant
Battery life is poor, Unit is easily marked

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 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

Nice design, Vivid display, Voice recognition
Low battery life, Usefulness is subjective, No heart, rate 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...

Abstract: I've been keen on smartwatches pretty much since day one. I get a lot of emails, texts, and assorted notifications, most of them garbage but some vitally important. Having a glancable screen on my wrist makes life infinitely easier. But smartwatches have ...
We used both Android Wear devices over several weeks and found them to be more useful than we'd initially imagined. The ability to look at an incoming notification and see if it's something that requires further attention or can be safely ignored without ...
Lightweight and Easy to Handle, Clear and Bright Screen, Waterproof

LG's watch should be your primary choice in Android Wear if you are looking to get most out of the battery.The G Watch has brilliant battery backup that will easily last for more than a day under normal or mixed usage. But we have to find out more to unde...
