Hands-on with the LG G Watch R and its circular display

The round Moto 360 Android Wear watch has a competitor from LG. Luke Westaway goes wrist-on.

Smart watches should have something we can't live without. An amazing feature

I think Luke Westaway is one of the best people at Cnet, let him do more videos plz.

They had such a great opportunity for this watch, with the notches around the face. They could have put a small dash at the edge of the screen so you could still tell the time no matter where you are in the OS.

okay. i got my eye on this. now waiting for the moto 360.

This was supposed to be released on October 14th in Korea, but it doesn't look like it has been, and no news on U.S. release. Seems as though the Korean release is delayed, hopefully it will go on sale in October for the U.S.?

This one actually looks cool. I like the design a lot. I love the Moto 360 design too. That's a bit more classy, this is more casual. But I feel like the screen is too small.

This is awesome...Looks like the nicest smart watch in my opinion. Omnitrix from Ben 10?

As weird as it may sound I like the design of this more than the moto 360 because the moto 360 looks to luxurious for an everyday watch where as this looks more like an everyday watch

This is now my favorite of the bunch (btw why does he think its chunky? The moto 360 looks chunky)

I love the design ! The biggest issue with smartwatches will now be the battery life.

[Jeffmorgan]

Starting to move away from utter nerd watches to this! Fantastic!

This might be better the moto360, because it's got a rim around the display.When I am doing casual stuff, a lot of times I find myself banging my watch to walls etc. So the rim would protect it a littlebit

[MrNikbert]

This should b the standard shape for all smart watches. It just looks better.

A chronometer to hide the display drivers. Nice one LG, now tell me why the hell would I need a chronometer on an android wear watch?

[jamesanderson]

Doesn't look too bad tbh, but until 'smart watches' can do something other than count my steps I'll stick with a standard watch

At 0:48 the asian dude in the back is getting really up close shots, probably to make a replica back in China, no racism intended :)

[godexists]

i still don't get these wearables. am fine with a good phone.

I seriously can't see myself buy ANY of these smart watches. They would have to be:

1. Water Proof
2. Capable of unlocking my car
3. All health modules on it.
4. Long batt Life
5. Saphire glass for the front
6. Lightweight
7. Use it for transactions wirelessly
8. Optional proximity to know if family members are nearby
9. Built in flashlight
10. Home door unlock feature
11. Garage Unlock
12. Pet proximity detector
13. And more

Or just 1 amazing function

My watch will know what I should eat if I want to:
Lose weight, gain muscle, gain weight, automatic calorie count of what I consume.

Instant detection of what I should eat to live a long healthy life. Like having a nutritionist / personal trainer by my side.

That my friends. Would be an instant WIN

If it had Heart Rate Monitor, GPS i would be interested...

i like LG's effort, but this is no 360
