Wasn't bothered about smartwatches until I came across...

LG's G Watch!

2 day charge! Looks like a normal watch, can fit it on a Nato!

Dunno about the functions; couldn't care.

Saw it on someone's wrist the other day. Thought it was a normal watch until he started swiping the screen. Been a while since I've wanted a watch! And the battery lasts 2 days with normal usage. He had the time displaying continuously.

Not quite as cool as your own Pip Boy, but it's a start!

Problem for many is that little bit at the bottom. Bugs me a bit, too.

Sorted. LG urbane which I believe is based on LG G watch R

Supposed to be released soon (LTE version already up for pre order)

I hope that gets really bad reviews.

I've seen that too.

It looks like a nice watch in its own right - smart watch or not.

That's exactly my problem.

Haven't had a watch in years but Smart Watches are sort of tickling my fancy a bit, problem is they look like Smart Watches and I look at people wearing them I think; you look a bit of a tit!

This; however, looks fantastic and my phone is an LG G3 too.

[Hoofy]

Yep. The more sporty model - I thought the guy I saw with this LG was wearing a new Suunto.

I mean, I will probably get one but not bother with connecting it to my phone if it can run certain watch-like apps. Like tell the time. Or tell the weather.

A watch with a battery that lasts 2 days you say? And a face you can read all the time? That's a truly amazing watch :snigger:

Not smart as such, but..........

Not sure I'd have one myself, have seen one in the flesh and it looked and felt OK, but seems a bit of a flawed concept?

Even if LG made a time machine that enabled you to relive the best years of your life it wouldn't blow any Apple product away.

Not that LG makes poor product. But its brand has zero traction compared with the omnipotent power of the Apple brand which results in millions of people buying iBottledFarts within hours of launch.

And the good thing with that is LG's; some say superior product, is half the price of the Apple product, well pleased with my G3

Is blowing something away about popularity then? I thought it was about functionality or quality or whatever is used to make a comparison.
