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

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

The LG G Watch Rs hardware is ready for your wrist. Android Wear? Not so much. As far as smartwatches currently go, the G Watch R sits in the top tier. It may even be the best, if you like its black chunky look, which Im sure many will. But for me, Andr...
