Thanks to smartphones
A lot of people don't feel the need to wear a watch
Since they can get the necessary time and date information from the device in their pockets. I'm not one of those people. I always wear a watch
And in the LG G Watch
I've found
Lightweight and Easy to Handle
Clear and Bright Screen
Waterproof
The editors didn't like
Buggy software. Sometimes commands work
Sometimes they don't. Android Wear lacks polish. Third party app support is minimal. We expect this all to improve. Although the way software development goes
We could be on the next version of hardware before all

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...
Having notifications on your wrist soon becomes something useful, Changing watchfaces as often as your underwear is definitely a thing, Android Wear has massive potential to be something great, Core functionality seems really intuitive, Some apps actually
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...

Android Wear makes an impressive debut, but the first hardware – the LG G Watch – is a crashing bore...
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...
Abstract: It's a wearable tech bonanza this week on the ITProPortal podcast. We've been playing with the LG G Watch and - once we'd stopped jumping up and down with excitement - the heavily anticipated Google Glass....

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...
