    I love this watch, I thought that the bezel size would bug me but it doesn't. The one negative I have is that after 3 days of use the case was scratched.

    I've been a user of smartwatches since the first Android Wear watches rolled out in 2014. I've used Google's, Apple's and Samsung's offerings so I have been accustomed to using various designs on a daily basis. The first thing to note is that the design is very simplistic and not going to be to everyone's taste. The design is on par with what I wanted it to be, but your mileage may vary. The main things that are lacking are the heart rate sensor, NFC to payments, GPS and a speaker. None of these matter to me too much, but it's something to consider. Performance is very good, voice dictation is reliable and the screen is very vibrant looking. Overall very happy.

    Bare bones Android Wear smartwatch

    Part of the problem with smartwatches is that neither the public nor the manufacturers have figured out what they are for. Do people want a smartphone for their wrist? Do they want a fitness tracker? What do people need a smartwatch for? I actually went in knowing *exactly* what I wanted a smartwatch for, and so choosing this watch was simple. I wanted a device that would connect to my online calendar and remind me of meetings, events, and the like with a vibration that I would actually notice (unlike my smartphone on vibrate) but which would not be disruptive to my day (unlike my smartphone's alarm.) I wanted a device which could connect to my account on Google Fit and track my activities without being as bulky to carry as my smartphone (a Nexus 6P). I wanted a device that looked like a watch that I would actually wear. I'm a rather slim man, and big, bulky watches make my arms like like twigs. Also, I do not like the "flat tires" on some round displays; nor am I fond of square watches. That was really all I needed and the LG Style does those things. Oh sure. It also can do more. You can download plenty of apps for it (called "complications" from the Play Store.) You can put on Play Music or Overdrive or a podcast app and then download content so that you can connect to a Bluetooth headset and listen from your watch. You can use IFTTT to set up notifications. There are many possibilities. But what do I use a watch for? Keeping time and scheduling. And if I keep that as the main focus for a smartwatch, then I shall never be disappointed. The Style accomplishes that. It looks good. It is comfortable. The screen is crisp and clear. The watch faces are easy to change. And using the side dial is a convenient and comfortable way to scroll. I would almost put this as a perfect example of a basic smartwatch if not for two things. First of all, the battery life. Even though I turn off Bluetooth & WiFi when I am not using them, and keep the screen off when I am not using it, and use adaptive brightness, I cannot squeeze more than a day out of the battery. Usually I wind up turning it off around bedtime and charging it. This could easily be fixed with a larger battery, maybe the one from the LG Sport. It would increase the thickness, but possibly not so much that it would be unwieldy. Second, the charger is small and I worry about losing it. I am concerned that spare chargers do not seem to be available, though I suspect that any inductive charger would work. Third, and least important. I would not be averse to it having a heart rate monitor. Without it, this smartwatch is not quite as functional as most fitness monitors, nor as versatile as most other smartwatches. It needs something to push it over the edge. Beyond that though, this is a decent basic smartwatch. I would say that for form it deserves five stars, but for functionality it only deserves three. So I averaged it to four. I cannot quite recommend this watch. More advances (especially to the battery life) need to be made.

    Pretty great if you want a basic smartwatch, pretty bad in comparison to others. The biggest plus to it is its size. I wanted a watch that wasn't as bulky and masculine as the Gear s3 and this delivered with its perfectly small and stylish build. Messages I didn't care for, I had to download an app for messenger because I didn't like how messages was set up. The odometer on it wasn't all too accurate either, but not enough to be a problem. The one problem I had with it was the battery life. With the Gear s3 I'm used to my watch lasting at least 2 days. This watch barely made it through 1 with very little use. I can't imagine how it would be if I used it more. I had to return it because this was just too much of a problem

    Pros: 1.Nice look with premium leather strap and round face(probably this watch is only for women) 2. Bright display..No problem even u are under direct sunlight 3. Great responsive touch 4.The last but not least is it's awesome 2.0 software Cons: 1. Biggest drawback for me is not having a speaker(I'm using Asus ZenWatch 3 n it has a speaker from which u can listen songs n take calls directly on watch). We have to connect wireless headphones to listen music from this watch. 2.No NFC, GPS There's also no LTE but it's not a big problem for me I would like to recommend it for someone who doesn't bother about the cons I have mentioned above

    Basic Smartwatch, No Frills

    I got this smartwatch so that I could have better reminders from my Google Calendar. I do not always hear my phone's notifications in my pocket, nor feel vibrations during silent mode. But when my watch vibrates on my wrist, I feel it. If all you want from a smartwatch is something basic like that, then this might be up your alley. It has no heart rate monitor. No GPS. It can't make purchases. It won't answer your calls. You can connect it to your WiFi or to a Bluetooth device and that's it. The battery life isn't really that good. Even in airplane mode, this battery is lucky to last 24 hours. That being said, the interface is smooth. I especially like using the dial for scrolling through options. Google Fit works quite well with it, as you might expect. And I love the fact that it is a fullscreen round display. Best of all, this looks like a real watch that actually looks good on my slim wrists! While this watch meets my basic needs, I think it's a little over priced for what you get. If it offered a heart rate monitor and a slightly larger battery, it might be a better deal. But as is, I cannot give it a higher grade than a C-.

    After 1 year battery dies in 1-2 hours

    This is my first Android Wear device, and I absolutely love Android Wear itself. Going into it I thought a smartwatch would be gimmicky, but I have come to really appreciate being able to see notification details at a glance. That being said, the LG Watch Style specifically has been quite disappointing. I do not have any basis for comparison, but after 53-54 weeks of ownership (only 1-2 weeks after the warranty expired) I have seen a DRASTIC decline in battery life. When I first purchased the watch I would put it on at about 8 am and it would power down at about 9-10p - not great, but not too bad considering I charge the watch every night anyway. This was with the always-on display feature turned on. After about 6 months of wearing the watch every day I decided to turn off the always-on feature to see how much more battery time that gained me...the result was only about an hour more of usage a day, but I didn't really miss the always-on feature so I left it off. Another 6 months later, and now the watch is completely dead by 11am - It's not even worth it for me to wear the watch anymore. I have gone through a factory reset of the watch and left all apps uninstalled and settings default to make sure that there isn't a rogue app or setting draining the battery, but the result was exactly the same. Additionally, I will often take the watch off the charger at 100% and by the time it's on my wrist the device displays 75% battery. If the watch is powered off when I remove it from the charger (again, fully charged), just powering the watch on will drain the battery to 50%. In the battery status of the Android Wear companion app, the highest item listed is Idle, with significantly more drain than screen or system. I find it very convenient that these issues started occurring just after my warranty expired. I love Android Wear and I'm very disappointed that there haven't been consistent, year-to-year improvements like there is with Android phones. I will likely purchase another Android Wear device, but I would NOT recommend the Style to anyone.

    The watch is amazing and works great with my pixel phone. Easy to use and setup and love the small profile and big screen. The down sides are just two for me. First would be battery could be way better. I am very disappointed that it barely makes it through a work day. Second would be no NFC. Really I don't want to pay almost a hundred more for this with the stupid LTE feature. Really who in there right mind is going to go around talking on there watch up to there mouth like dick tracy.

    Bought this smart watch for my wife. She recently switched from IOS to Android. Compared to the Apple watch she had, she likes this watch more due to the slim and round design that the LG Watch Style has. In addition, she is getting about a day and half of use with the LG Watch, which is a little more compared to the Series 1 Apple Watch. Would of gave this product 5 stars but gave it 4 due to the lack of a heart rate monitor. Overall, it is a nice looking watch and good product!

    A Pebble replacement this is not; the display and functionality of the LG Style is great and there are a lot of inuitive features the watch has for everyday wear. But get ready to charge this thing every 8 hours because the battery will wear out on you fast. There are some functions you can turn off to get a full day's charge, but then ask yourself why you a bought the watch that had these features to begin with. Good, but not permanent.

    The watch is exactly what I was looking for as a starter smart watch. It does not come with all the bells and whistles as some of the other watches but as someone who has never had a smart watch before I wanted to make sure I would be using it all the time before I wanted to pay for the extras. I recommend this watch for someone who doesn't want to pay too much and is okay with not having all the extras I just wish the battery life lasted longer.

    Two weeks in this has fulfilled my needs. As a diabetic, I use a watchface that displays my blood sugar in real time (includes graph). Similar to CGM on cell phones, but much easier to glance anytime. So far battery lasts about a day and a half (no internet....just bluetooth), with screen always on. Thin for a smart watch, similar in size to other men's watches. Great appearance. Note...does not have all the features (upgrades to Wear OS), and would not buy for exercizing. At close to $100 highly recommended!

    I ordered this watch on its release date and have been using it ever since. I love the features, the look, and all of the apps. The watch is stylish and clean. The touchscreen and dial are easy to use. My only complaint is the battery life. I have to charge it every night. As I write this review at 9pm, my battery is at 29%. Unfortunately, I am use to my Pebble watch which could go a week in between charges.

    I love my LG Style Smartwatch. Sleek, elegant but casual for everyday use. As a woman with skinny arms, I wanted a light watch (since I wore the heavy Moto 360 1st gen for a long time). It comes with Android 2.0 out from the box. I took one star off because of the poor battery life, but it is my only complaint.

    Got this to replace my Asus Zenwatch 2 refurb, which, after 6 months, has a busted orientation sensor, and has had connectivity issues from day one (won't be buying Asus again, that's for sure). This is a solid, basic Android Wear watch that gets the job done. It has great connectivity with the phone, fits my smallish man-wrists nicely, and I like the rotating crown button. I don't really need a heart rate monitor or speaker, so I don't miss those, but I wish it had NFC for Android Pay. As for battery, my watch usually lasts from about 7:15am to 9pm-ish (when it enters 15% power saving mode) with generally light usage (mostly dismissing notifications and deleting emails). Though the Zenwatch 2 was trouble, its battery was at 35%-40% when I went to bed, so I've adjusted my behavior for the LG Watch Style, like dropping it on the charger when I'm at my desk for an extra battery boost. So I'd recommend this watch, if the battery life works for you needs.

    This is my first smartwatch. Overall I am happy with it but there could always be improvements. I did not like the strap that came with it, so I purchased a metal band thats more like a watch band for it which I like. Sometimes I don't like the button on the side because it's connected to "Ok Google" and if I lift my wrist sometimes it activates it, but that isn't a huge deal. My main thing is the battery life. The battery life could be better, it does tend to not last as long, but for what I typically use it for, as long as I don't overuse it, it gets me through most of the day. I do have to charge it daily, but it has a super fast charge. I could always buy an additional charger if I need it when I'm at work or in my car or something, but I usually keep it at home and throw it on at the end of the day when I go to bed. Overall, it is a good watch and it is a great starter smartwatch for me that I plan on keeping for quite a few years.

    I really wanted to like this watch and it's quite nice with a metal band, but I must say the battery life is atrocious. I change settings and watch faces but I could not get the battery to last from 7 am to 10 pm. I had the watch over 2 weeks to see if the battery improved but no luck. In fact the battery got wrose after the second week. As I said I want to like this watch especially upgrading from my Moto 360 v1 but do to the battery I returned the watch.

    It was not displayed in the store but they had it around the checkout area. This watch is beautiful. It has a big face but does not look big. I am a petite size girl and it's the least bulky looking watch among those out on the market. I like the fact that I can replace the bands. Although, I decided to use the original bands after browsing hundreds of the after market bands at amazon. I used to be annyoed by android wear's way of sending notifications a few years ago when I was using samsung gear watch but it seems like it came a long way. It is ok now. It is lightweight with the look. At this price, I was a great buy.
