LG G Watch R review: A full circle

01 December 2014
Smartwatches have been around for a long time now, ever so reluctantly trying to infuse the tech spirit into one of the oldest accessories in the history of the world – the time piece. But a wrist watch is meant for more than telling...

Anonymous, 02 Dec 2014 "while the Rolex is the Apple" LOL LOL This wa... moreI was not referring to this watch, but strictly to the Rolex and Omega brands and drawing a metaphor to show that they are not equal. Rolex overpriced(I'm referring to the "root" comment)? Well, if you can afford a Rolex, you can sell it later for more money than you paid for it initially if you keep it in "mint" condition, or for a very close amount to the initial price, if you use it. As it is with Apple products.
And as with Andorid products, who wants a second hand Omega watch? What's interesting is that Rolex is always mentioned by someone when the subject is watches.

    Those gigantic bezels though. I believe smartwatches are in the same Era that Android phones were when the HTC G1 came out.

        X, 02 Dec 2014Please do not put Rolex and Omega in the same basket! Omeg... more "while the Rolex is the Apple" LOL
        LOL
        This watch is not yet for sale and you call it a Rolex?
        It looks no near to the class of Rolex,only in price.
        Rolex is a company with huge history in engineering and design. you compare this box with few chips in it to it?
        Apple fans head is so washed that they start talking nonsense

          Omega is the Android of luxury watches while the Rolex is the Apple. Look at the Rolex page at history. See how many things they made for the first time, things that are copied by everybody else. And as Apple, Rolex make their own watch mechanisms, while Omega buys them ready made.

              I hope they do an e-ink screen version.

                The ONLY smartwatch that looks like a watch actually.Awesome specs and design only drawback is pricing is on the higher side.

                  I wonder if it is a real A full circle screen or the wide bezels hide the lower part you see on the Moto 360.
                  It is only 1.3 inch vs moto 360 1.6,so it could be.

                        Wish it had real scuba abilities.
                        Oh well, I guess you just can't have everything.

                            This is how a smart watch should look. It should blend a traditional watch with a touch screen. I'm hoping other manufacturers follow this plan and improve on it.

                              before make stupid comment on the big bezels remember that small bezels are thing in big smartphone, classic watch has bezels, that's how real watch should look like.
