A smartwatch which displays a highly specific theme for its design is LG G Watch R. Now, let’s see what it has to offer.
Display
Just like Moto 360, this smartwatch that with a display that is round. However, its screen has a large bezel surrounding it with markings for the clock, quite similar with the Submariner of Rolex.
It has a stainless steel body which is black in color and comes with a leather band which is also black. The band and watch can both give you a light, high-end and comfortable feeling on your wrist. It is 9.77 mm thick and is among the thinnest smartwatches that you can see in the market today.
Its round display is at 246-ppi, making it fairly sharp. Also, it seems to be brighter compared to other watches from the Wear series.
Apps, Battery Life And Other Features
The LG G Watch R has software that is exactly the one that you can find if you are going to look other watches from Android Wear. Also, LG did not incorporate any accompanying apps with add-ons that are unique, unlike what Asus and Motorola. If you are not yet familiar with other Android Wear watches, you may go over the reviews published earlier by Gizmag.
When it comes to its battery life, one can find it good. It is better than Moto 360’s. However, it is not as good as ZenWatch’s long-lasting battery.
Having its brightness set at “3” or “2,” and while you use it typically with its display on always-on mode, the device can have its battery life dropped from five to six percent for every hour that passes. If you turn off the always-on setting, the battery life drop may go down to three to four percent per hour.
Just like most classic smartwatches, the LG G Watch R can give you a water resistance that is IP67. It may appear to be a diver’s watch to you. However, it is not appropriate even if you use it as you dip into a kiddie pool set at three feet. But you get some of the features of the FitBit within this new watch.
Price
Among the most relevant disadvantages of this smartwatch is its price. It can be bought at 300 US dollars, which is 50 dollars more expensive than Moto 360 and 100 dollars more expensive compared to the ZenWatch. So, if you wish to make a practical purchase, it is best to go over the features of LG G Watch R first, to see whether it is really what you need.
