LG G Watch R: Design

First G Watch as plain and boring to watch as you can. Rectangular face dull, thick rubber strap and black screen bezel makes it feel more like a prototype of your watch will be happy to roll up your sleeves to check the time.

Fast-forward four months and G Watch R is an entirely different prospect. It is smartwatch that really looks good. In fact, it was the best looking one we've seen.

Dial plastic around the screen gives G Watch R interesting, sports chronograph look. It is more suitable for analog watch face as a result, although you still have the option to digital if you wish. You get an IP 67 water and dust resistant certified the same as its predecessor, so that you can submerge in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes and we can ensure passing a bath.

LG has improved since the first G Watch straps, too. It is still 22mm types that can be replaced, but black, genuine leather new more luxurious body compliment. It feels a little stiff at first, but it's not something that makes him uncomfortable or irritating to wear.

Unlike the G Watch, there is the power button where you will usually find the crown watch, so you do not have to use the palm of that during the movement of the screen to dim or turn off the screen. The back of the house is now compulsory heart rate sensor and pin charging for the supplied dock.

LG G Watch R: Screen

G Watch R see LG move from LCD displays used in G Watch to 0.5mm thin P-OLED displays new. This is the same screen technology used in smartphones G Flex and while the leaked roadmap companies see P-OLED (Plastic OLED) devices bent shape the future, for the G Watch R promising quality similar to the AMOLED display. You can expect a richer color, bright screen, outdoor visibility is better and superior contrast ratio performance compared to LCD-based smartwatches.

G Watch R delivers on all these areas. It is up there with the Samsung smartwatches for the spirit, and it is much easier to use for use in direct sunlight from G Watch. Icons and text does not have a vague, hazy quality the same as it did on the first day of the LG Android Wear SmartWatch. This is to increase the resolution of 320x320, which is beyond the Moto 360 and the corresponding resolution AMOLED display Gear Live.

LG G Watch R: Features

Inside, the G Watch R uses the same components as the first LG Android Wear watch. There is a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage. It is enough for the demands placed on a smartwatch. 4GB of storage it will be useful when the soil latest Android updates Wear and add music playback offline, so you are not so dependent on carrying the phone.

Heart rate monitor to work more. It integrates with Google Fit platform and our time with it is really only suitable for checking heart rate. Continuously track heart rate data is more problematic and does not compare to watching a special run like TomTom Runner Cardio or chest strap heart rate monitor can provide. Reading least accurate than the Adidas miCoach fitness Smart Run Band we ran against, but the barking 'show me the heartbeat' when you are out of breath is not great.

As G Watch, which is a little vibration motors provide notice to feel more physically so you do not lose them, while the embedded microphone is positioned close to the face to ensure orders picked up nice and clear.

LG G Watch R: Battery Life

It was at this point where everything comes crashing down to Wear smartwatches Android and smartwatches generally Pebble restrictions. LG G Watch R is not alone in providing the type of battery that makes them so frustrating to use.

At least LG have done something about the way you fill G Watch R. No wireless charging sad, but there is a simple docking cradle where five charging pins on the watches have to sit right on the dock. This is a leaner alternative to clunky method offered by its predecessor, but it still does not hide the fact that this is still charging dock belonging to another you have to keep an eye on.

Conclution

LG G Watch Wear comfortable on the Android stack, but there is still work to do to make the concept fly smartwatch.
