I've always been an early adopter when it comes to technology when Google believes the Moto 360 way back in September 2014 with Android 1.0 I couldn't get my hands on a quick enough and now Google is giving Android wear a much-needed update with their new Android wear 2.0 Google in partnership with LG has launched two new smartwatches to feature the new OS and today we've got one of those watches the LG watch style full review first up is the unboxing and Dan's existing have a big box for SmartWatch presentation of nice when you open the lid everything is going out for you neatly inside you'll find the watch itself or wall watch some documentation and a charging plug I wish they including a cleaning cloth though this watch only comes in one size which is a legend I'd imagine people with larger wrists will have a problem wearing this watch since I've got average risk and I'm already at the third-to-last whole design watch the watch does okay you get a stainless steel housing that comes in either silver rose gold or titanium there's also a mirror surface that goes all around the watch sadly the back of the watch is made out of plastic and actually can have a wireless charger LG watch cell also comes with genuine leather strap but their quality leaves something to be desired I fear that in six months these straps will be totally destroyed but on the bright side these wristbands are interchangeable and swapping wrists and here is much easier than on the Apple watch moving in suspects we've got a one-point 2 inch round polar display with the 299 PPI and cornering Gorilla Glass 3 covering at all the screen on this watch is much brighter crisper and has deeper colors than the run IQ I reviewed a few days ago the watch style is also 10.8 millimeters thick whipped it very nicely on your wrist it also weighs just 46 grams this watch also sports 512 megabytes of RAM and 4 gigs of on-board storage so you can download apps from the Play Store there's also a 240 million battery which should last you a whole day the LG watch cell also has a built-in microphone so you can use Google assistant but there is no speak on board when it comes to connectivity you get Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy and finally just watches ip67 water and dust resistance 1 but more importantly than the features as watch hands are the features that is missing first off you should notice this watch doesn't have a heart rate sensor so if you're looking for something to wear while working out this isn't for you there's also no NFC tip so you can use to pay which is a big new feature for Android wear 2.0 there's also no LTE connectivity for the LG watch style but to me that really doesn't matter I don't need to make phone calls off of my watch and adding a watch to my mobile plans doesn't really matter either you think those you watch and navigating through the cards it's like butter there's no lag and no hesitation LG also copied Apple's rotating crown design which allows you to scroll through your cards or the app drawer but not having to smudge your screen Android wear also introduced a whole bunch of watch faces some that can display a ton of information at a glance and some that have a much more classic design to them what if you wanted you can go into the Play Store and download more watch faces apps and even game smartwatches are great for people who are always on the move and need to be on top of their emails text calendar events phone calls and reminders in Android wear 2.0 still does a great job of showing you all that information on the blind and if you need to reply to either one of those texts or emails you can do so in a few different ways you can either use pre-made responses voice text and even swipe on a miniature keyboard which is fairly accurate overall the LG watch style does a great job of doing what it's supposed to do it looks good on your wrist and shows you phone notifications as they come in the simple and classy design looks good now and it'll still look good in two years well for two hundred and fifty dollars it's grossly overpriced what watch sales have never taken off as much as manufacturers had hoped and sales have actually declined which is why a lot of brands are leaning towards the fitness craft so the LG watch style not having a built-in heart rate monitor is a flop it doesn't even have NFC which means you can't use tap to pay our features that's becoming more and more popular with more new Android launches just around the corner I would recommend you hold off on this or looking for those watches Big Brother the LG watch sports review on that coming system if LG wanted to be competitive they should have priceless watch at 160 or so hey if you made it this far
