LG G Watch

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...

Other than that annoying niggle, it’s a promising start for Google’s fledgling wearables OS. It’s heartening to see that there’s already a decent selection of apps, some of which provide a tempting glimpse of what’s to come, and as Wear devices gain in...

Performs well ; Swappable wristbands ; Charging cradle is easy to use ; Water-resistant ; Easier to read in sunlight than competition

More expensive than the Gear Live ; Display has lower resolution than competition ; Horrible battery life ; Limited to newer Android devices ; Unattractive design

It's not much of a looker, but the LG G Watch is a respectable Android Wear device. Its battery life is slightly better than the Samsung Gear Live, but it's also more expensive and doesn't offer as nice a display.

Always-on display ; Comfortable ; Slick interface ; Good use of voice actions

The Battery easily lasts all day, or even 2 days if necessary, even though I have it so the screen is always on. The display looks great. Its touch responsiveness feels perfect. It's easy to use and does everything I want it to do. Makes my phone...

The watch can go into the charging bay either direction, but only charges one direction. This makes it sometimes hard to know which way to put it in the dark. When the screen is set to always on, there's no way to turn it off while the watch is...
