  • Abstract:  Feature wise, LG's R iteration of the G Watch managed to pop an optical heart rate monitor inside, even though it needs to be manually activated each time you want a reading.There's also a barometer and integrated digital compass, which sounds great on pa...

  • 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...

  • Abstract:  We first heard rumours that LG would bring a round Android Wear watch back in August, when the Moto 360 ‘s release date was still unknown. We already heard from a reader who imported a unit , but still couldn't wait to get a proper review unit of our own....

  • Speedy specs, Circular display, Feels like a proper watch
  • No GPS, Watch faces look weird with the physical face, Still not enough apps on Android Wear
  • The LG G Watch R's 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 I'm sure many will. But for me, An...

  • 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

  • Great design, Strong screen
  • Lower battery, Expensive
  • While I realise that Android Wear still isn't ready for the mainstream (and so does LG), there's no doubt that if this watch was sitting under the Christmas tree I would be cock-a-hoop. The design is great and really does scream 'premium' more than any o...
