LG updates the LGG watch with the new design that is pretty much as much of a watch as we're going to get hey it's Josh regard from Android Authority what's going on everybody and this is a look at the LG G watch R now obviously the first thing you'll notice is that P o LED screen on the front that will allow it to have turned off pixels for a better power consumption at least that's what LG has been telling us but then you'll also notice that cronograph all the way around the actual unit itself now it's an interesting design choice that does get used quite a bit when it comes to the watch faces that LG builds into these actual devices and you will probably have the analog look all throughout coming around the back we do have the charging pins but also a heart rate monitor that will be used for various fitness tracking ability is that we weren't able to look at in this retail version of Android where you're looking at how thick this body is it is pretty thick there are quite a few things happening underneath way there's also for weather proofing and as far as the band goes we do get a leather band that can be replaced because the G watch our uses the standard 22 millimeter size in order for you to change it with whatever watch bands you may already have here you're getting a look at the charging dock now it's a lot like the original one from the LG G watch where the charging pans will just line up and then you charge the dock via microUSB so it's pretty easy way of charging this actual device as far as the look of the actual watch goes the leather band is quite nice and you can change the look of it by changing the band and the watch faces and congruence in order to really get a different look but we will say that the actual design of the unit itself is pretty fashionable but it might not be as accessible for a lot of people out there after all it does have a very sporty and real a high fashion sense to it that not everybody might really gravitate to but here is a comparison between it and the original G watch now the G watch obviously wasn't more was more of a reference point in terms of Android wear and thus had a much more simplistic design now they've really stepped it up LG has in the G watch are by really making it look as much like a watch as possible especially with that cronograph around even a button on the side that's not necessarily used for too many functions you can use it to hit the power button and actually you can turn it up and down and it will scroll through all of the elements but that's something we could not test in this retail version of Android wear once again the size of the actual unit is a bit more than that of the G watch they both are still a little bit taller for plenty of people out there so it might not always be the easiest thing to have on your wrist but nonetheless we have these two watches from LG that bring Android wear to the masses you do have the reference point LG G watch but we do like what we see from the G watch R so keep it in 200 authority for our future review of the LG G watch our this round version of the G watch and remember to keep it tuned to Android authority as we are your source for all things Eva 2014 here at the LG launch event
