This watch is getting released in South Korea soon... on October 14th. What does everyone think of this? I think i prefer the Moto 360 but this one does have 3 main advantages:

1) Full circular screen
2) Looks more sturdy
3) All 22mm bands will fit!

Hmm... Moto 360 or this awesome watch. Gonna be a hard decision!

Crunchz 2014-10-10 07:46:09 UTC #5

Yea I think those factors outweigh the 360 but they're both beautiful watches

One thing about the LG Watch R I read about is that it's fairly big and bulky. So if you have small wrists then this might be a downside...

Really unsure of whether I want this or the 360. I think I'll hold out until this is released; that'll probably be when they start giving discounts on the 360.

I think it seems to be trading looks for practicality, which I'm all for, just hesitant about the price difference, there doesnt seem to be much to justify it

Design of this LG watch R is very good

Europe's release date has been announced as week of Nov. 3rd - Nov. 7th.

Additionally, current conversion rates are placing the cost at USD $330 to $370. Hopefully it comes out lower than that when officially announced.

If that pricing is correct I doubt these will be a success here in the US

Looks good, more sporty look than the Moto 360. I still prefer Moto 360 though, simple but elegant design.

A nice watch but I prefer the moto 360 because of it simple design.

It doesn't look too bad, but I still prefer the Moto 360 because I've heard that the ridge around the edge makes things a little more difficult to touch.

these looks even better for me than Moto 360 - mainly because pure round display

This is the most interesting smartwatch of all to this day. But it will come down to the price I think.

wickett06 2014-10-20 10:48:44 UTC #19

I find it a little odd to not even announce a release date for US/Europe when it has been available in South Korea for a while. Don't they usually announce release dates at the same time? That is, of course, unless the release dates are a few months apart.

burnmail123 2014-10-20 13:05:11 UTC #20

do you know if I will be able to try them somewhere in Denmark as soon as they are released here?
