Hadn't really planned on getting a smart watch, but this was on a sale (with a Google Play gift card bonus) that I could not pass up. Only thing I wish is that the black band version had been available. I've found all sorts of uses for this that I would not have thought of (use it as a remote for taking photos with your phone! - get turn by turn navigation on your wrist as you drive!). Battery lasts long enough that I only need to charge it every other night.

Same software as all the other more expensive Android wear watches for a lot less money. I wanted the moto 360 but could not justify the price. I purchased the g watch for $80 on sales. Good watch for the price. The rubber band is not great but can be swapped out for any standard 22mm watch band. Size of the face is not as large as I thought it would be. The thickness is a little more than a standard watch but is easy to get used to.

Living with the LG G Watch has been a treat. Having been on my wrist for the past 5 weeks I can say that I do not miss my divers watch or and of my other mechanical watches. I work in a fast paced office, constantly multitasking, and this has helped me keep to my schedule. Google Fit keeps me on my feet by keeping fitness goals as well. I use the watch as the primary control for my music on Google Play Music when driving to keep the phone safe away from being a distraction. I reply to texts, calls, and even e'mails. My favorite too thus far is the ability to use Google Now from the watch, and some information will show on the screen, or you can tell the watch to open it up on your phone. Two thumbs up from me, I did not touch on everything, but I'm a total fan. The apps will only keep getting better too.

Android wear is great for staying up to date with notifications and I like using it as a controller for my music while working out. The G Watch is a good size and feel also

I went to this from a Samsung Galaxy Gear fit due to battery issues. I know the battery on this is not meant to last more than a day or two but I have no problem putting it on the charger every night alongside my phone. The UI is simple, sleek, and very functional. My only minor complaints are the comfortability of the included watch band (which can be solved by swapping it out with another), and the overall design. It looks alright for the most part but the large bezles make it look bulkier than it reall needs to be.

Purchased during the Black Friday event for $80, with a $50 Google Play eGift Card and it is worth it. Buggy at times, but solid. Android Wear version 5 improves on the feature set. Personally, I don't believe it is worth it at retail pricing.

I've had this thing for a good 9 months or so and am living it. Works great on one charge every night, the notifications coming via vibration on my wrist are so much more affective than my cell phone (I seem to always miss calls). And my favorite feature is the interchangeable wristband. I've probably bought 5 bands just for different occasions. Wore it on my Wedding day!

I currently use the black one, but I have also bought the white one. Great watch, many useful apps and notifications. Good battery life.

Great watch! Nice not to have to pull out my phone all the time. Lots of cool apps and games for it too. Sending and checking text from it is easy. I can go two to three days without having to charge it, but that's because i don't play a lot of games on it and i don't keep the time screen on all the time. Happy I got it.

A great watch that runs android wear smoothly and without a hitch. The biggest plus to this phone over other phones has to be battery life. I consistently get over a full days use without worrying about whether my watch is going to make it.

I got this Smartwatch during the Black Friday special that Best Buy had on it, for $79 w/$50 Google Play Credit.
I sold the $50 Google Play Credit for $39 on eBay, so my out of pocket cost for it was only $45+ w/tax. IF it wasnt that inexpensive for me, I would have deducted one star from the rating I gave it.
Why? Well, primarily due to its battery life. I was really really hoping to be able to get 2 days use out of each charge, but even after managing which notifications I get carefully, it still only lasts about 1 day of use.
TIP to all owners experiencing poor battery life: TURN OFF notifications from those apps/cards that you really dont need on your wrist. I blocked a lot of "junk" notifications that I really didnt need to see on my wrist, and that has improved battery life immensely.

The LG G watch is one of the first gear watches to come out but I can say is very economical in price and rugged enough to use in all manner of terrain. I have bought two of these and love the ease of charging and the ease of swapping out bands. Although I think there is a lot of room for growth and development for the google smart watches, I do enjoy using them. Just another fun gadget to play with while passing time but also handy when needing to answer a message quickly or to easily check messages, emails, etc on the go.

Once i started using android wear, it seems hard to live without it. However, this g watch isnt the most attractive of the android wear devices. but for the price, its a great way to test android wear

I bought this product on a whim and was convinced by nights end that I would return it the following morning. The next day I completely changed my mind and it's been on my wrist ever since.
It's cheaper than the price of a regular watch and it interfaces with the phone I take out of my pocket a thousand times a day. It's a no brainer at this price if you're even remotely connected to the interwebs.

It's a decent watch. I am still learning what it does. I wish it did more actual interactive stuff with the phone. But I am happy with it so far.

Well its not a Moto360, but it was in stock when I wanted to buy a smart watch. The only reason I gave it 4 and not 5 starts is because of the styling, I just dont like the way it looks. I will swap this out for a Moto360 later down the road, I just really needed a smartwatch to allow me to view notifications on my phone without having the phone on my body 24/7.
