LG G Watch

Performs well ; Swappable wristbands ; Charging cradle is easy to use ; Water-resistant ; Easier to read in sunlight than competition

More expensive than the Gear Live ; Display has lower resolution than competition ; Horrible battery life ; Limited to newer Android devices ; Unattractive design

It's not much of a looker, but the LG G Watch is a respectable Android Wear device. Its battery life is slightly better than the Samsung Gear Live, but it's also more expensive and doesn't offer as nice a display.

Smart Google Now functionality. Larger text than Gear Live. Works with standard watchbands.

More expensive and fewer features than the Gear Live. Short battery life. No physical buttons. Android Wear lacks a Back button. Few apps available. Bulky.

LG's G Watch is a fairly svelte smartphone companion, but its Android Wear OS doesn't offer enough functionality.

Eenvoudig concept met simpele bediening ; Google Now kan heel nuttig zijn ; Integratie met Android werkt erg goed

Google Now werkt niet in Nederlands ; Scherm slecht afleesbaar in felle zon ; Accu gaat niet erg lang mee

De G Watch van LG is de eerste smartwatch die draait op Googles nieuwe Android Wear-besturingssysteem. Die software werkt fijn samen met Android-telefoons en biedt gedurende de dag informatie over notificaties en andere relevante informatie, zoals het...
