I was looking for a very basic smart watch that would giving me communication updates and track steps. However, whenever I tried a smart watches I was always unhappy with them because I'm a watch lover and the faces and hands are fake on smart watches. This is a real watch and it looks sick. I've received many comments about this watch and I enjoy wearing it every day.

This watch is really for a specific type of person. It's got the google software, which is good (not great, but android wise and app wise it's the best there is). The mechanical hands add an aesthetic. And this watch is really for looking good first over software. It has a lot of short comings. I wish LG would have added the NFC functions and speakers possibly would have added what I wanted. As a watch it looks beautiful and the price really, premium watches of similar looks could pull that price. For a smart watch, however, I'd be weary. You have to realize that for regular watches the mechanics hold the value. However, as soon as you are software based, the hardware becomes obsolete within 2 years, which essentially becomes to life of the product. At $500, I know the mechanics in this watch is very premium, but the software in my opinion would drag the cost down. Of course I bought this for half the price, and I recommend for anyone that wants a beautiful watch first and then a good smartwatch software experience this watch is a steal. I give LG credit for going outside the box and trying a new concept and I hope something like this picks up it's really the best of both worlds.

If you want to measure heart rate, need GPS or want to make payments, this watch is not for you. It doesn't have speaker either. For all these activities I have Galaxy Watch. But LG is really nice looking watch with physical hands. It's my main watch during weekdays in office. I just wish it had a larger battery.
