The editors liked
Looks like a real watch
Lots of sensors
The LG G Watch R feels like a proper watch which just so happens to be smart. It's futuristic
But not showy about it — the last thing I want is strangers on the tube peering over my shoulder every time I give my wristwatch a glance
Battery life
2 days in alwayson. LG says you'll get three if you forego that luxury. This blows away the G Watch R's only competition
Round or otherwise
For the time being
Display
Bright with very good viewing angles
And also the highest pixel densi

Colorful and bright P-OLED display
Better than average battery life
Superb design
Excellent OLED screen
With its round design
Angular metal frame and selection of gorgeous watch faces
The LG G Watch R is the most attractive Android Wear Smartwatch around. It's battery life isn't bad either
Great battery life (for an Android Wear watch)
Sharp aesthetics (assuming you like manly chronographs)
Best
Brightest display in its category
Sleek design integrates hardware with software
Topnotch hardware
Battery life among the best for Android Wear devices
Screen colours and watch faces
Gorgeous design. Improved battery life. Sharp
Vivid screen. Nice watch faces.
Strong performance
Great screen
Versatile design
Much better than the first G Watch. Epic battery life. Zippier processor than its smartwatch competition. Comes with a barometric altimeter for quick elevation checks. OLED display produces nice inky blacks
Handsome OLED display makes everything look better
Solidly built
Has a few neat tricks for Android users
Round watches are objectively better than square ones
Much better than the first G Watch. Epic battery life for Android Wear. Zippier processor than its smartwatch competition. Comes with a barometric altimeter for quick elevation checks. OLED display produces nice inky blacks

The editors didn't like
Too big
Uncomfortable to wear
Buggy
But look they will
Once you start talking at the thing. Despite what decades of sci-fi movies or Dick Tracy comics may have told you
You look like a dick when barking voice commands into a watch. It's a credit to LG that the only serious issues I have w
Wear isn't done
Wear is sometimes useful. I wish it was more useful
But I'm not even sure how I'd go about making it more useful. For the investment you're making
Wear is very much an ideainprogress kind of product
And that's what you should expect wh
No speakers
No SIM card support
Compatible only with Android 4.3+
Android Wear is still limited
Lots of swiping required
Android Wear is still a work in progress with a UI that can be challenging if you don't want to speak to your watch
Average battery life
Some software flaws with Android Wear
Final pricing is still unclear. Battery life
While better than Android Wear competitors
Still isn't good enough for the average person. The watch's design won't appeal to those who prefer sleek
Slim timepieces
More expensive than the competition
Big
Chunky
Potentially polarizing design
Dubious step and altitude data
Software experience still needs refinement
Bulkiness might be a deal breaker for some
Tilt to wake and poor leather strap
Expensive. Still bulky. Battery still isn't great. Android Wear still underwhelms
Requires charging cradle
Expensive
No integrated GPS
Almost twice as heavy as the Moto 360. Leather wristband feels like a cardboard strap. Crashy. Screen sensitivity issues
Software constantly feels incomplete
Incompatible with iPhone or other platforms
Circular face clashes with square Google Now cards
Battery life better than the Moto 360
But still inadequate
Almost twice as heavy as the Moto 360. Leather wristband feels like a cardboard strap. Smaller screen makes reading messages more difficult
The leather strap is hard to break in and feels a bit cheap
Browsing your apps requires you to go through several operations
Rein subjektiv gesehen liegt die LG in meiner persönlichen Wertung vor der Smartwatch aus dem Hause Motorola. Dies hängt aber ganz stark vom Geschmack des Einzelnen an, denn am Ende des Tages tun sich beide Uhren nicht viel. Der eine Vorteil hier, der and...

Design, Verarbeitung, Bildschirm, Akkulaufzeit
Android Wear noch nicht ausgereift, wenige Basisfunktionen, Sprachsteuerung
Die G Watch R ist unserer Meinung nach nicht nur die bisher schönste Android-Wear-Uhr, sondern auch die technisch ausgereifteste. Das OLED-Display ist hervorragend, der Prozessor schnell und die bei Smartwatches viel gerügte Akkulaufzeit erfreulich gut. D...

Eine runde Sache. Die LG G Watch R kann im Alltag durchaus überzeugen. Sie performt anständig und nutzt ihre Möglichkeiten gut aus. Konkurrenzprodukte mit Android Wear können derzeit nicht mehr, ein Vergleich mit der Motorola Moto 360 steht noch aus. Zu d...
Toen Android Wear begin 2014 werd aangekondigd was ik, als echte Android- en gadgetfreak, behoorlijk enthousiast over die nieuwe ontwikkeling op de wearable markt. Ik had op dat moment echter net een maand mijn Pebble, en het horloge wat mij erg aansp...
Geplaatst voor de keuze uit de LG G Watch R, Motorola Moto 360 en de Samsung Gear S, zouden we eerlijk gezegd niet goed weten welke we zouden moeten nemen. Qua uiterlijk zijn de twee ronde toestellen wat ons betreft interessanter, maar we vinden de rech...
Abstract: Het ronde scherm van de LG G Watch R oogt fraai en het ronde knopje aan de zijkant geeft het net even wat meer de uitstraling van een gewoon horloge. De zwarte behuizing is van metaal gemaakt, waardoor het geheel stevig en duurzaam aanvoelt. Minpunt van h...
Goed scherm, Prima prestaties, Vrij lange accuduur
Software blijft matig, Log apparaat
Ondanks verschillende verbeteringen kunnen we de G Watch R niet echt van harte aanraden. Het grote formaat zal voor veel mensen sowieso afschrikwekkend zijn, maar eigenlijk is het bij Android Wear-smartwatches vooral nog wachten op verbeteringen in de sof...
Abstract: De eerste écht ronde smartwatch met Android Wear maakt opnieuw weinig indruk. Als ik één ding zeker weet over smartwatches, is dat een rond scherm om je pols mooier is dan een vierkant scherm. En in precies die fase van smartwatches zitten we nog. We zijn...
De G Watch R is op dit moment de beste Android Wear-smartwatch die je kunt krijgen. Hij heeft een écht rond scherm, rappe processor en een goede accuduur. En ondanks dat ‘ie wat groot en log voor een smartwatch is, zullen heel veel mensen dit strakke en s...
