Meet the coolest Android wearable from LG – the LG G Watch R. If your saw it on someone’s arm, with no notifications on its screen, or with the owner not doing anything on it, it might as well be just a watch. But a cool one!
It’s not the thinnest Android wearable there is, but you hardly notice that thickness when you’re wearing the G Watch R.
That’s the back, with those gold dots the contact points for the charging dock (more on that later).

Key Features of the LG G Watch R:
- The world’s first watch-style wearable with full circular Plastic OLED (P-OLED) display at 1.3 inches, not like the flat-tire display of the Moto 360. Great color and viewing angles, even when outdoors.
- Functional first, wearable-features second approach to design. Even if you never pair this with a smartphone, or if you rarely do anything on it, the G Watch R looks great in a sturdy, durable, stainless steel and aluminum profile.
- 410mAh battery, the largest to date in an Android wearable.
- Dus and water resistant, up to half and hour under one meter of water.
- When paired with a smartphone, the G Watch R can deliver information on weather forecast, real-time traffic conditions, turn-by turn navigations, stock market updates, social media notifications, and travel and restaurant updates. The G Watch R also allows the user to track fitness goals and use the Ok Google feature to send a text message, email, or play songs through the Android WearTM music.
