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...
LG's first attempt at a smart watch manages to tick most of the right boxes, but it isn't the leap forward for wearables we were hoping for. This is partly due to Android Wear being in its infancy, with many apps and features still waiting to make an appe...

Minimalist styling, lots of potential for Android Wear, water and dustproof
Monolithic styling, separate charging dock, Android Wear still developing
It's a little hard to see the LG in the LG G Watch -- this seems very much like a Google device. And as a showcase for Android Wear, it feels very much like the beginning rather than the finished product. Its minimalist good looks will still seem like a...

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...

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...
