Anyone have an LG G watch?

Browns colors! I approve.

But it's "low power" because it's 4.0. Low Power meaning "not a battery sucker" and not "shorter range".
I didn't think 'low power' had anything to do with range. I could be wrong. I thought BT is still BT and it should hit the old 30 meter mark (90ish feet), no?

I assumed that there's at least a small trade off for consuming less power, but I could be totally wrong. I have no actual stats to substantiate that.

I'm going to wear out the bottom part then shop for new ones as well..

Scratched on back but I like my front though.. Haha

Very slick! I just can't get beyond not having the entire round face. Once they start making those, I might upgrade to a round device.

If tracking is correct mine could be here in a couple hours

Fyi, in case that info got lost in the thread, you'll have at least one update before you can do anything with it, then I had a second one just a few minutes later.

Good point, I thought I was not going to like the watch until it updated to Android Wear 5.0.1. After that, its a whole new device!

I like the texting ability. The speech to text seems pretty good. I'll get some use out of the nav function too. I think I'll like it. And can see a real future for wearables. This plus a Bluetooth ear bud and you're hands-free on the phone

Enjoy your new toy!

It was so great to use the watch & my new Bluetooth ear buds while running the snowblower yesterday. Controlling my playlist, including thumbs up & down & I got a Facebook message from a friend asking to confirm plans for later & was able to lower the throttle on the blower & turn away from it & respond via voice.

Of course, that meant taking the glove off, but it beats taking the glove off AND digging my phone out of my coat/sweatshirt.

These ones recommended by another member of the forum.

Jam Transit Wireless Earbuds Jam Audio

They don't activate Google now, but that's a non-issue for me with the watch. Not high end, but they don't break the bank & they easily drowned out the snowblower without losing any clarity.

Got my Turbo. Watch wouldn't pair. I reset it and all is well. Is this something new? Feature of the phone? Haven't seen this before.
Open camera on phone. Watch asks if I want to use it to take pics. And this feature paid off huge today. Extended family function we do annually. We always take a group photo.
Guess who was the hero?
Worked beautifully.

Moto camera? Or google's? Nothing happens on the watch when I open the camera on my note 4, but I think there's an app for that.
