Google has finally revealed its latest Android Wear 2.0 operating system to all, and with it comes two new watches to show it off to its fullest: The LG Watch Sport and LG Watch Style.

Google's Android smartphone for your wrist
Doesn’t require phone tethering ; Able to track strength training ; Appealing design despite big size
Battery life falls short ; Missing some major apps ; Phone calls (US only) require a SIM card
The LG Watch Sport is the brawny and brainy smartwatch that’s able to keep up with all of your gym workouts, and smart enough to make calls and use Google Assistant with or without your phone in tow. At launch it had the best specs of any Google watch...

The LG Watch Sport is Google's star of the Android Wear 2.0 show. But will stuffing it full of features come back to bite it and its battery life? Find out what we think in our LG Watch Sport review.
If you are definitely going to be able to charge it every night and you don’t mind paying for the LTE functionality you may not be able to use, then the LG Watch Sport is one of the best Android smartwatches ever made.

Is this the greatest Android Wear watch of them all?
Expert review by : Raymond Wong (mashable.com)
Android Wear still has lots of room for improvement.
Excellent battery life (for a smartwatch) ; Awesome rotatable side button ; Android Wear 2.0 is so much better than before
Chunky and uncomfortable to wear unless you've got large wrists ; No heart-rate sensor, GPS or NFC on Watch Style ; LTE isn't a necessity
Despite the LG Watch Sport's power and Watch Style's good looks, both smartwatches are full of compromises that prevent them from competing with the Apple Watch.
Expert review by : Julian Chokkattu (digitaltrends.com)
The Watch Sport is a good smartwatch -- mostly thanks to Android Wear.
Software is simpler, more functional ; Gorgeous display, minimal design ; Android Pay on a smartwatch is handy ; Customizable physical buttons ; GPS allows for more stand-alone use
Abysmal battery life ; Thick and bulky ; Needs more app support ; Uncomfortable, unreplaceable strap
The LG Watch Sport is a good smartwatch, mostly thanks to Android Wear. If you’re interested, go to an AT&T store to see how it fits your wrist first, as that can make or break your decision.

LG's Watch Sport is the more impressive of the two smartwatches launching with Android Wear 2.0, and for the most part it's a very respectable showing. Beyond the seriously snappy performance, the big Android Wear update brings a load of design tweaks...
Android Wear 2.0 is a big improvement ; Mostly excellent performance ; Rotating crown button works well ; IP68 water resistance
Thick, sometimes cumbersome design ; Battery life could be better ; Android Wear feels inconsistent in places
It's rare that I find myself enjoying a device's software more than its hardware, but here I am. Don't get me wrong, not much about the Watch Sport as a package of parts is definitively bad. If you don't mind the lackluster battery and thick body, it's...

The LG Watch Sport has a built-in cellular modem to stand apart from your smartphone, but that doesn't help it stand apart from a crowd of smartwatches that offer more for your money.
Expert review by : Dan Seifert (theverge.com)
Sharp, bright display ; Packed with features ; Simpler interface ; Useful buttons
Unpredictable battery life ; Large dimensions ; Uncomfortable strap ; Buggy software
