Today I’ve put together a list of the best android smartwatch phone wearables and I’ll be giving you a quick summary of android wear currently making its way into many homes, currently selling like hotcakes and currently winning people over thanks to google’s super-powered smart software (sorry apple).
LG G Watch
If you’re looking for a sportier watch then the LG G Watch is an ideal solution. The display is a rectangular glass touchscreen encased in a stainless steel case with a matte black rubber strap. The watch features a 1.65-inch IPS LCD touchscreen display, comes with 4GB of onboard storage and is powered by the Android wear OS.
The LG G watch is water and dust resistant but not water-proof. The watch itself has no physical buttons- everything is controlled via the touchscreen. Scratches will be kept at bay thanks to Gorilla Glass 3 protection.
Fitness- It contains a 9-axis movement sensor, which has an accelerometer, altimeter, gyroscope and compass. The altimeter assists with activity tracking by tracking elevation and works alongside the built-in pedometer.
Apps for your watch-
Uber: Though you can’t yet summon a cab using the smartwatch you can check when it will be arriving.
Todoist: To-Do List manager.
Aeris Wear Weather: for weather updates.
Google maps: Should you need directions to a nearby watering hole.
Pros:
- Voice recognition is precise.
- Alerts work really well.
Cons:
- No built-in GPS
- Poor battery life.
- Outdoor visibility isn’t great.
Product rating 6/10 ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

Once charged the battery will last a full day with normal usage. The watch is charged wireless and eliminates the need for untidy cables.
