LG G Watch R

The LG G Watch R’s second Android Wear smart watch, which is impressive given that the platform has only been available to the general public for about half a year, and other big Android OEMs haven’t yet shipped a first device.

Design of LG G Watch R

The LG G Watch R boasts a design that is at once both the best in the Android Wear market, and also something that will leave a lot of consumers cold. That’s because it’s big – chunky big, with a face and bezel that occupy a very considerable amount of wrist real estate. It’s not unlike a Casio G-Shock, however, and for that reason it will appeal to fans of chunky watch designs, as well as those who like oversize divers, but for the slim-wristed and those with more understated tastes, it’s going to be a no-go.

Features of LG G Watch R

LG G Watch R boasts the usual suite of sensors, but it also has an optical heart rate monitor, something the original G Watch lacked. One thing it’s missing that Android Wear supports is GPS, however, which is something that most OEMs have left out of their sensor package so far. Including it would’ve made the LG G Watch R much more useful for navigation without a connected phone, and it’s a more obvious omission when you consider that the LG G Watch R is the most expensive Android Wear device available.

Battery of LG G Watch R

It boasts a battery with a capacity of 410mAh. Performance: As mentioned, the LG G Watch R gets around two days of use on a single charge, which in a world of Android Wear watches that can often limp to even just the end of a single day, feels like a wealth of charge time. It has a magnetic dock like the G Watch for charging and while a standard micro-USB input somewhere would’ve been better for long-term value, the dock works well enough and sits nicely on a bedside table.
