The first thing that hits you about the LG G Watch is just how much the Android Wear OS dominates the experience. LG has created a product which is subtle and understated
And this allows Google's smartwatch concept to shine through

Smartwatches have always struggled when it comes to stamina
And the G Watch is sadly no exception. With normal use you can expect to get around two days before needing to charge
And because you can only topup the battery with the bespoke charging dock

The LG G Watch attempts to bring you the future on your wrist, but with its generic design, unimpressive battery life, and unpolished early software, you're better off waiting to see what else is around the bend....
While we've been sceptical of smartwatches in the past on CyberShack, we found the LG G Watch really can make your life easier. Given the immense number of press releases we receive in a day, it's great to not have to pull out the phone, unlock it, go in...

Not yet. If a smartwatch is a thing you desperately want, the LG G Watch is the prettiest hardware you can buy right now, but you should definitely wait until the end of the summer to see if the stunning Moto 360 is any good. You should also wait until An...
Low battery life, Usefulness is subjective, No heartrate monitor
The LG G Watch is sweet, and with a price tag of $229, it's really easy to make it an impulse buy. I mean, if you're buying a decent watch anyway, you're likely going to be in the neighborhood of $300-500. And those watches won't show you Facebook notifi...

Abstract: I've been keen on smartwatches pretty much since day one. I get a lot of emails, texts, and assorted notifications, most of them garbage but some vitally important. Having a glancable screen on my wrist makes life infinitely easier. But smartwatches have ...
We used both Android Wear devices over several weeks and found them to be more useful than we'd initially imagined. The ability to look at an incoming notification and see if it's something that requires further attention or can be safely ignored without ...

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,
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
