The hardware is bulky and uncomfortable. Features are limited—for now. Notifications are often delivered with a significant (5minuteplus) delay. Battery lasts barely a day. The constant vibrating of new notifications is really just the worst thing ever

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...
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
The LG G Watch is one of the best smartwatches available. However, ongoing issues with Android Wear and poor battery life hamper its overall appeal....

Crisp, clear screen, Userfriendly software, Shows the time constantly
Can't read full long messages, Can't read multiple messages, Battery life short, No auto screen brightness
Smartwatches haven't taken off the way everyone had hoped, despite Samsung's best efforts with its Gear devices. Here comes Google to try its hand, with its Android wear OS – and joint efforts with Motorola, Samsung and LG.The first devices to come out of...

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...

The screen is virtually unreadable outdoors in dimmed mode, Settings and apps are hidden away making the initial “getting to know you” period a little awkward, The charging dock being the only way to charge the watch is ridiculous, The current app selecti
I look forward to seeing how Google update Android Wear in the future and I also look forward to seeing the second generation of Android Wear devices, with better battery life, better hardware and hopefully better designs.The Snugg iPhone 5 case reviewFac...

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...
