LG Electronics LGW270.AUSAPG LG Watch Style Smartwatch with Android Wear 2.0 - Rose Gold - US Version

This watch never performed adequately, constantly crashed. Battery life monitor wasn't reliable. Battery life was a day at max. Wasn't reliable for calls or messages. This was supposed to make my life easier and it ended up in a drawer after 2 weeks

Works great for what I need. Battery is usually at 30% at the end of the day so I charge it at night with my phone. I like it because it shows me my notifications without having to pull out my phone. Love the look. Bought a replacement band for it.

I'm still a little on the fence about this watch. Overall I like it. I love the look, I have a really small wrist and anything bigger would not look good. This is the perfect size and I love the rose gold color. It has worked great with email and phone call notifications, but I cannot get my text messages to come through. So that is a problem, as well as the fitness tracking doesn't seem to be that accurate. I was hoping it would at least accurately count steps, but don't think it really comes close. Since I got this as a marketplace deal for less than half price, I will keep it, but if I'd paid full price I would send it back. I just don't think there is a perfect smartwatch out there yet for Android. I was going to get the Fitbit Ionic but it isn't compatible with my Google Pixel 2 XL.Edit to review - from 4 stars to 2 stars: Now I've had the watch a while and it has suddenly stopped syncing with my phone and I can't get it to sync back up. So maybe it's the phone - maybe it's the watch - who knows? Even when it did work it my texts never came through, and the battery dies before the end of the day if you use it at all. My next try will be the Fitbit Versa and hope that it syncs up well with my phone.

I'm sad to be writing a negative review, but my experience with this watch and with LG has not been satisfactory AT ALL. When I first set up the watch, it struggled to connect with the app on my phone and I had to completely reset the watch twice inside a week. I enjoyed it for a while after that - the response to notifications was quick and the touch sensitivity was great. However, in less than 2 months, the watch completely stopped charging. I tried restarting it, charging it from scratch, etc. The watch had simply died.I contacted LG about repairing the issue and they gave me a shipping label to send the watch in. It took LG's service center a full month to even get to my watch. After that, it took them another week to run the diagnostics, only to tell me in the end that the watch was "not covered under the original limited warranty from manufacturer," and that I needed to pay a $19.95 diagnostic fee if I wanted to get the watch back. (Because who wouldn't want a dead watch back? Hmm.) In an online chat with a service representative, I was then told the watch had suffered liquid damage to the motherboard. I NEVER GOT IT WET IN ANY WAY. And if sweat caused the damage, then what the heck are they doing putting fitness items in there?!I had researched and chosen this watch over an Apple Watch in part due to the cost, but also because I felt this watch had enough of the features I wanted. Unfortunately, the issues I have encountered thus far have soured my view of LG. Many would say I should purchase another device and give them another shot, but I'm not comfortable tossing another $200 out there when I'm completely losing money on the first try.

4/8/2018: This thing died on me!...So zero stars. Since the beginning of 2018 April, the charge starting only went up to 60% and now it doesn't hold a charge at all. Surprising how a LG+Google watch couldn't last that long. On a side note, my LG V20 is having camera and bluetooth issues. LG's G7 "ThinQ" better knock its sales and performance out of the ballpark or I'm going for the Huawei P20 ProOriginal Review: My first Android Wear watch was the first generation MOTO 360 and it was slow, bulky, and heavy. This is the best SEXY SLIM Android Wear watch because it lasts all day if you're working the reg 9-5 office with minimal movement you'll be getting 50-60% at the end of the day. Settings are with all gesture features off and always on display off because they're really not necessary and leave 30-40% at end of day. I got the rose gold and it's sooper sexy. To be honest, you really don't need all these unnecessary add-ons: barometric sensor, LTE connectivity, and heart rate because heart rate sensors in smart devices aren't accurate as medical equipment. I only wished this watch had NFC (Tap-n-Pay/Android Pay). Feature that I wished this watch had that my 1st Gen MOTO 360 had was better OS integration with my LG V20, like being able to switch my phone to sound, vibrate, and silence.
