The LG G Watch R is a circular refinement on LG’s original G Watch, boasting an improved display, a traditional watch design and strong battery life. The watch will be available from Mobile Fun later this week<\/a>, so let’s have a look at what the early reviews are saying!<\/p>\n

Android Police: ‘The best Android Wear has to offer right now’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our first review<\/a>\u00a0comes courtesy of\u00a0Android Police<\/em>, who praise the always-on screen for its high resolution and fully circular screen. Battery life is also a point of strength for the device, with two days of always-on use and three days if the display is allowed to turn off when not in use. The bad points? The Android Wear OS as a whole isn’t yet completed and the watch has a large-body design that won’t appeal to everyone.<\/p>\n

Android Authority: ‘Exquisite\u00a0craftsmanship, stunning display, exceptional battery life’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next up we have the effusive folks of\u00a0Android Authority<\/em>, who seem to be big fans of the device too. The build quality and design of the watch are highlighted in their review<\/a>, with the traditional look of the watch – including numbered bezel – being well-received. The display is also lauded, particularly given this is a circular display without the\u00a0‘awkward black bar’ of the Moto 360. To\u00a0Authority<\/em>, these strengths justify the higher price point of the device.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Android Central: ‘a step forward, but not a game-changer’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Android Central take a more measured tone in their review<\/a>, calling the watch an evolution upon its predecessors if not an absolute revolution of the system. The review describes the watch as ‘like a real, actual watch – complete with crown, minute marks and hefty lugs’; which they call ‘a vast improvement’ over the earlier G Watch. The review also\u00a0calls the G Watch R a ‘battery champ’ compared to the Moto 360. Overall, the watch is recommended for early adopters but not for the mass market.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stuff: ‘won’t win beauty contests… but that’s about its only flaw’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our final review<\/a> comes courtesy of\u00a0Stuff<\/em>, who aren’t fans of the watch’s bulky look compared to the svelter Moto 360. However, they are happy to admit that otherwise the G Watch R is a clear winner, with a good OLED screen, great battery life and ‘a smooth experience, delivered by powerful innards.’ Ultimately, they say that there’s ‘plenty to love’ about the G Watch R.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks for checking out our G Watch R review roundup. Remember that the\u00a0G Watch R will be in stock at Mobile Fun<\/a>\u00a0later this week, so place your pre-order now if you’d like to take home ‘the best Android Wear has to offer’!<\/p>\n
