The LG G Watch R is the best smartwatch we've yet reviewed (keeping in mind we haven't got our hands on a Moto 360 for a lengthy period so far). The round screen makes it more comfortable to wear, both physically and socially, and the switch to P-OLED...

The G Watch R scores big on looks. Its round screen, faux bezel dial combine with a solid design. This all makes for a good looking yet comfy time piece. Excellent battery life plus its gorgeous OLED screen make the G Watch R an ideal choice for android s...
