I’ve had the LG G Watch R for over 3 months now, and find that I can’t really recommend it to anyone. I still wear it everyday and the battery life will easily get me through to bedtime with 40% left, but voice recognition is far off what I get directly from my Nexus 6. I had the annoying “must make a note of that” whilst driving through a small village, so I told my watch to “remind me when I get home to do X”. It struggled and struggled, several retries later it finally brought up on the screen what I had said (well close enough that I would know what it was on about when I got home), only for the phone to reject the command because it couldn’t set the reminder in the cloud right then.
I had the fun with Google Keep and the shopping list, finding that as I moved down the aisle the watch had defaulted to dim mode and to get the app back up required multiple stabs and strokes. Here I would be happy to lose some battery life over getting the functionality I needed.
The remote control of other streams is nice, turning up the music whilst walking to work this morning, pausing Netflix whilst I have to change the baby, but I could easily do without them.
At £200 it’s a nice toy, any higher and I think you’d be mad, which is why I’m surprised at Apples £299 for the sport and £479 for the “watch” when you could get a 64gb iPad Air 2 for the same price.

ps, if you haven’t already Watchmaker Premium is a great app for watchfaces, with a huge community behind it, plus it’s pretty easy to build your own with some basic assets created in photoshop.
