When LG came out with their first smartwatch back in March, it looked very plain and simple and had very few features and functionalities. I was already using several smart bands that time (a Jawbone UP24 and Garmin Vivofit) so an upgrade to a smartwatch running Android Wear seems a nice idea. So I traded my usual Diesel and TWSteel watches for a much simpler but connected LG G Watch. A few months later, LG introduced the second-generation G Watch R with a much nicer design and completely rounded face (the R means round). The LG G Watch R is perhaps the best-looking smartwatch we’ve seen to date. It has that classic look, a rounded face with nice OLED display that most people would think it’s just a regular watch that glows. The concept of Android Wear as an operating system is that it allows the watch to connect to an Android smartphone via Bluetooth.
