LG G Watch R review : Android Wear smartwatch

LG G Watch R review, Six months ago after it unveiled its G Watch smartwatch, the Korean tech company announced that it will launch another wearable device, called the G Watch R. The G Watch R is wearable technology designed for your busy life. Set to launch in  early november, the G Watch R marks a legitimate step forward from the first generation of nondescript Android Wear devices.

The new watch comes with a calfskin leather black strap and a much more attractive stainless steel case. It's also nice to see LG using a standard 22mm strap, allowing you to swap the G Watch R into and out of styles by just changing its band and matching it with a particular watch face. The design, while not a watch design or color I would typically choose, is greatly improved over almost all of the other Android Wear watches. The watch is bigger than I had imagined it would be. Unlike the Moto360, the watch strap isn’t attached directly to the round body either. Like the original G Watch, the G Watch R has an always-on display because it is able to sip battery, thanks to the new Snapdragon 400 processor inside.

for battery quality,It’s difficult to conduct empirical battery testing on a smartwatch. but example like this I put the R on my hand at 3:40 a.m. on monday morning. By the time I put it back in its charger at 8:04 p.m. more than 16 hours later it had 42 %  battery capacity.

To recap, the G Watch R houses a 1.2GigaHerzt Snapdragon 400 processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB internal storage, 1.3inch Plastic OLED (P-OLED) (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display (320×320), 410 mAh battery, and it meets IP67 certification to resist against dust and water resistance like samsung galaxy S5  That means you can dunk your G Watch R in up to 3.3 feet (1 meter) of water for 30 minutes, heart rate sensor and also has a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass and barometer built-in and comes in black. It charges through pins, same as on the original G Watch, with an included dock. The G Watch R delivers all of this in a reasonably attractive package that’s reasonably easy to read and lasts for a reasonably long time. It’s a solid (if bulky) smartwatch, and I’ll be wearing it on my wrist until a better watch kicks it off.

for price, LG still isn’t telling us about pricing and availability, but they’ll be doing more press around the launch during IFA Berlin next week, so stay tuned for again details.
