Attractive design, Full circular display, Improved battery life
Not very unisex, Strap a bit stiff, A bit pricey
With better battery life and a fully circular display, the G Watch R has two distinct advantages over its nearest rival. In many ways, that makes it an open-and-shut case. But, of course, with wearables it's never as simple as that. You may well prefer ho...

The G Watch R trumps the Moto 360 in just about every category. It has a better processor, better display, and a bigger battery. It also sports a proper “Always-On” display, although a little too bright at times. The Moto 360 looks better, but it has an a...
Stylish design, Sturdy construction, IP67certified – dustand waterproof, Crisp, circular display, Very good battery life for a smartwatch
The leather strap is hard to break in and feels a bit cheap, Browsing your apps requires you to go through several operations, Occasional drops in frame rate during navigation
While smartwatches still have a long way to go until we can talk about mass adoption, it's fair to say that the LG G Watch R marks a definitive improvement over the previous generation. To a great extent, this has to do with, Google's Android Wear OS, who...

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...

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
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
Although its stark design and beautiful face makes this the first smartwatch you might actually be happy to be seen wearing, its Android Wear software has a long way to go before it's anything more than a passing novelty....
Fantastic build quality, Beautiful design, Vivid display, Great battery performance
May be too large for some
9.0 In the best implementation of Android Wear yet, the LG G Watch R offers nearly everything a potential smartwatch owner could want. Featuring a truly gorgeous design, fantastic build quality, smooth performance, a best in class P-OLED display, and most...
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
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
This is the first time I've used an Android Wear device, and I have to say, some of my preconceptions ended up getting thrown right out the window after a week. Android Wear can be useful. I really like it when I'm driving - I hate looking at my phone, ev...
An improvement, but not an Android Wear revolutionAs Android Wear watches go, LG G Watch R is a great device — a substantial improvement upon the platform's first-generation wearables. It beats the Moto 360 on battery life, and (literally) outshines the o...
Abstract: As the title of this post suggests, we don't know yet just how much LG's newest smartwatch, the G Watch R, will cost. This is a very important question, because so far in my short time with the device, it actually seems pretty good. It isn't without flaws...
