a little earlier this year Google announced Android wear 2.0 a much-needed update for Google SmartWatch OS and with the announcement of Android wear 2.0 came the LG watch style and the LG watch sport I've already reviewed the LG watch style so you can check that out after this video but today we'll review is more expensive and feature-packed LG watch sports first up what's the difference between the LG watch style and the LG watch sport well for starters the LG watch style retails for 249 while the sport retails for 349 that hundred all difference gets you a slightly more premium watch with the built-in heart rate monitor GPS and LTE connectivity and a built-in speaker and a few other goodies here and there like NFC and slightly more RAM with that out of the wait let's go into the unboxing thankfully the box for the LG watch sport it's much smaller than the LG watch style when you list a list front and center is the watch itself under that you will find a wall board and a charging cradle the LG watch sports charges wirelessly and one place and the charging cradle can be used as a nightstand something that I think all smartwatches should do inside the smaller box you will find a USB cable some documentation and a simple mobile tool like I said earlier what separate set of UI support from the LG watch style is LTE connectivity you can pop in a nano SIM card into the back of the watch by removing the backplate with the spin tool personally I don't really need LTE and my SmartWatch and it's never feature I look for if LG didn't include LTE in the SmartWatch they could have made it much slimmer well I think this is a good enough segue to start talking about the design of the watch the LG watch support has a stainless steel case that comes in either dark blue like this one or titanium you only get one CPU wrist strap that is not interchangeable but it's still comfortable enough to wear all day long the watch itself is fourteen point two millimeters thick and weighs in at a hefty eighty nine point four grand this watch really isn't suited for people with a smaller wrist on board is a one point three eight inch full screen Pio LED screen with a 348 PPI covered by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 the LG watch sport has a slightly larger in more pixels than screen Danny's little brother the LG watch style running the whole thing we've got Qualcomm Snapdragon wear 2100 processor doing processing things you also get 768 megabytes of RAM versus the 500 megabytes of RAM found in the LG whitestyle there's also four gigabytes of on-board storage the LG watch sport also has a 430 milliamp battery set if you go easy on it you might get a whole day's use out of it there's also a built-in microphone and speaker so you can take calls from your wrist or argue with Google assistant connectivity wise there's Wi-Fi Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy GPS LTE and NFC for Angela Spain when it comes to sensors there is your standard accelerometer and ambient light sensor but more importantly there's a barometer gyroscope and a heart rate monitor I mentioned earlier and finally this watch is ip68 water ingress resistant this means the watch is water resistant up to 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes and it's not intended for prolonged or consistent submergence which basically means you can't swim sasquatch normally keep track of your lab using the new Android wear 2.0 OS it's similar to the original Android where blood is much quicker and a little more intuitive the LG watch Sport and style both have new rotating crowns that allow you to scroll through cards and the after without having to smudge your screen obviously this is a feature that has been copied from the Apple watch but it is welcomed on the Left LG watch sport also has two programmable buttons on either side of the crown these programmable buttons are a great feature for any power user out there I've said it before and I'll say it again more watches are great for people who are always on the go and need to be on top of their emails text calendar events and phone calls and just as you'd expect the LG watch sport does a great job at doing just that when you get an email or text messages open up quickly and you can respond in a few ways you can either use canned responses voice to text or even the new onboard keyboard that is fairly accurate but some smartwatches have never taken off as much as manufacturers head over Joey hoped they were now leaning towards the more active community specifically runners and cyclists with the added features of the LG watch sport you are able to track and map your runs and rides get out to do readings and monitor your heart rate during the workout you can also use these features if you're on a treadmill or stationary bike and even when you lift weight all this data can be stored within Google spit app or you can go into the Google Play Store and download any other figments that we might prefer overall the LG watch sport is a much more rugged and premium watch than the LG watch style it's leaps and bounds much better than the New Balance run IQ I reviewed a few weeks ago and those aiming for the same type of consumer all those are LG watch sports size isn't ideal for people with the tomorrow risk it is small enough that will make you wonder how they act so many features into it the non interchangeable wrist wraps means you're stuck with only one look and it might not be suitable for office life but the LG watch sport is a good enough watch but it is a little too bulky if you're genuinely interested in the LG watch sport then pick it up you won't be disappointed but if you can hold off for a while I would there are a whole bunch of new small watches in the pipeline for 2017 hey if you made it this far I
