Work on the G Watch R, says LG, began more than two years ago. This fully circular smartwatch may be running Android Wear and competing against the likes of the Moto 360 and Asus ZenWatch, but LG argues that it's the product of a long-term project rather than a kneejerk reaction. The 1.3-inch OLED screen on the G Watch is the first mass-produced round display of its kind, which is indeed the sort of innovation that takes years of planning to complete. LG has committed just as much time on the design, which has been inspired by the forms and styles of luxury cars, classical watches, and other jewelry. Set to launch in October, the G Watch R marks a legitimate step forward from the first generation of nondescript Android Wear devices.
Gearburn: "For the commoner β thereβs the LG G Watch R β a timepiece thatβs perhaps the most traditional of its generation, but is it any good?"
For me, the Apple Watch just knock off other smartwatches. Apple surely know their onions..
Android Wear is a great extension to Android Smartphones and proves to be a great gadget for everyone with these awesome apps.
According to me the best apps ever are as follows: UhrArt WearFaces, Wear Mini Launcher, Tinder, IFTTT & Flopsy Droid.
Engadget - I think it's fair to say by now that smartwatches are no longer the "hot new thing." It's an established product category. The paint might still be a little wet on the whole idea, and some might argue there are areas that still need improving, but these clever timepieces are officially here to stay. That's thanks in no small part to Android Wear, Google's platform that brought some sanity/unity to the wild west of wrist-worn Android tech that came before. With the software side of things taken care of, hardware manufacturers can now focus on the gear.
Can't believe they took 2 years to build this crap looking watch.
