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. The LG G Watch R is perhaps the best-looking smartwatch we’ve seen to date. With an SRP of Php13,990, I feel it’s a bit above the usual price for a smartwatch. I still think the G Watch R is a looker of a smartwatch. Moreover, we feel like these companies are looking at something more as each one are confirming that they're working on something else other than a smartphone or a tablet -- specifically a smartwatch. Samsung has already confirmed that they are working on a smartwatch, while companies such as LG, Apple and Google were reported to be working on one too. This isn't the first time someone's making an intelligent wristwatch, as gadgets like the Motorola MotoACTV and the Sony Smartwatch are already available for purchase now.
