LG Watch Style review

If you’re looking for a current-generation Android Wear device, the LG Watch Style is arguably one of the most basic offerings available. Whilst that means fitness fans looking for GPS and a heart-rate sensor will be better served by the likes of the Polar M600 or Huawei Watch 2 and there’s no NFC, simplicity does have its advantages.

The LG Watch Style is a simple but effective smartwatch with good overall performance and a great software experience. That said, it doesn't offer the same premium appeal as others in its field. It lacks thrills in terms of features – especially when compared to the LG Watch Sport and others – and doesn't have a particularly good battery life, which is further compounded considering its limited feature set.

The $249 LG Watch Style is an attractive smartwatch that lets you check your email, send and receive text messages and get smartphone notifications on your wrist. But don't expect any fancy features here. The watch lacks heart rate monitoring, NFC payment capabilities, and GPS and LTE features, which are available on the LG Watch Sport.

Ultimately, the LG Watch Style is a decent showcase for Android Wear 2.0 that will appeal to those who want a smartwatch in the body of something that looks a bit more traditional.

Less

The Style could get away with its price if it was supremely luxurious, but it just feels too cheap to be taken seriously. If it came in at about $100 less it would be a no-brainer, but there aren’t many gadgets that you couldn’t say that about. Mostly, the Style is a forgettable product that simply misses that mark and doesn’t do anything to move the needle on Android Wear.

Less

The LG Watch Style is a really nicely designed smartwatch with great performance that shows most of the best features of Android Wear 2.0. But man, the battery. The coolest features in the world are kind of lame when your device dies halfway through using them.
