Ive had the watch for 2 weeks now, and I have only had to charge it about 3/4 times, and my answer to that is obviously no, but i will keep you updated if anything happens. Hope you enjoyed the video

Hi, I just ordered one of these
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/378232716/inkcase-plus-e-ink-screen-for-android-phone
Then you can vote for the LG G2 version, it's basically Bluetooth so you'll be able to use it wireless!

"Now Available" is a bit misleading.... if anyone is familiar with Kickstarter at all, you'll be lucky if you get the product within a year of the last day of funding.
This looks Awesome.
i want one. Definitely will save battery.
Change topic title, it's misleading. This isn't anywhere close to being now available not only is it not out but you have to vote for which phones get it, G2 getting it isn't even guaranteed.

The case is a small part of the device, the whole thing being a tiny portable bluetooth second screen is still very cool I posted here to get more interest in the G2 version... I'd use it even without the G2 variant but you can always cancel your pledge last min if they don't offer a G2 at the end of the campaign so no risk in loosing out...

That has nothing to do with it not being available and your topic name being a lie.

There we go, a small edit to the title is all it took..
seriously, if you're not interested in it then dont buy one... Simple lol
Our smartphones are big enough. Not for phones but for tablets it would be feasible.
well, better have a kindle...
Better get a LG G Pad

I'm on my second G Watch R with problems and thought I'd share this chat session I had with LG. Has anyone else had issues? I'm bummed
Orlando:
Welcome to LG Electronics U.S.A. Support only. How may I provide you with excellent service today?
Me:
hi
Orlando:
good afternoon
Me:
I have a new G Watch R and I have a few questions
Orlando:
how may i assist ?
Me:
This is my second watch. The first shut off and would not turn on
Orlando:
may i ask did you place the unit in the cradle
Me:
This watch randomly freezes and restarts and the I believe there's an issue with the accelerometer because the watch face with the compass constantly looses calibration and I have to move it in a figure 8 pattern to restart the compass function.
Me:
Yes it was fully charged. I tried restarting it in the cradle with no success
Me:
And I tried holding in the button until a long vibrate but it still wouldn't restart.
Orlando:
thanks and did you press the power button?
Me:
In any case, I presume these issues can be resolved with a software update. Can you tell me if LG is working on an update?
Me:
Yes, I pressed the power button
Orlando:
thanks may i ask when was the unit purchased ?
Me:
When this new (second) watch freezes, I have to hold in the power button until there's a long vibration and that restarts it.
Orlando:
may i ask have you attempted to reset the unit ?
Me:
I bought the first one at the AT&T store in MA. They did not have a replacement and issued a refund. I bought the second one at the AT&T store in MA
Me:
Yes, I have reset it a few times with no change in performance. I also noticed it's hard to get it to light up with a simple twist of the wrist. I have to let my arm hang to the side of my body, then lift my arm and it lights up. Between that and the compass issue, I suspect a problem with the accelerometer.
Orlando:
thanks and may i have the date of purchase please
Me:
I purchased the second watch from AT&T in MA on 11/14/14
Me:
Just this past Friday
Me:
I plan to return it unless I can be assured there is a fix in process
Orlando:
thanks in this case based on the issues you are reporting the unit will have to be sent in to the repair facility for evaluation
Me:
Can you tell me if there is an update? The build number on the watch I have now is KNX01R
Orlando:
sorry their is no updates available for this unit at this time
Me:
Ok - that's unfortunate. It's a nice product but with problems on two different watches, it appears clear to me that it was released with several bugs, or simply not well engineered. I will return it and get a different brand. Thanks and have a great day.
Orlando:
I am sorry to hear about this.
Orlando:
Thank you for your time and patience. It has been a pleasure to assist you today. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us again. Thank you for choosing LG Electronics. We appreciate your business. Have a great day!
Seriously what you would have expected from such a standard support line?
It is the perfectly typical dialog for an online support. You have been unlucky I guess.
Not all of these units are created equal. My first unit had dirty white colored paint on the bezel markings and the bluetooth and accelerometer were sketchy. I exchanged it for a new unit today. The white markings are actually white as opposed to a putty color and the bluetooth and accelerometer work flawlessly.
As with any new release, you are going to get some lemons.

Totally agreed! The difference is how you consume them .... I prefer lemonade .

Interesting how they differed - thanks for the feedback ............... I like the watch so I'm considering returning it, waiting a while for some fresh production and repurchasing later. Still have another week or so before the 14 day return period is up. I especially like the hiking watch face but having to constantly recalibrate the compass and set the reference elevation kind of kills the cool factor. Since my initial post, the watch has not randomly restarted.

I had the same thing with the Surface Pro 3. First 2 units were crap, 3rd one perfect. Frustrating but nature of the game for early adopters.
Ok I like techy stuff have been into computers for over 30 years and really like the look of the LG G watch R.
The other half was going to buy me a smart watch for crimbo, but i told her not to as I am not convinced it would not be just a gimmick and I would not use it after a few weeks ....
So I need a little bit of convincing, presently in the UK I can get this watch for about £200, if it was about £170 I would buy it now. (any deals I haven't found yet about?)
One problem is I haven't been able to see one in the flesh as only available online and one issue would be the size on my wrist.
Is there a user manual I can download? - I cant seem to find one ......
I understand the main function of any smart watch is for notifications without removing your phone from your pocket, but can you hold a telephone conversation just using your watch? also is it easy to reply to emails / text using just the watch with a keyboard or would it be mainly using voice to text?
Any help / advice from those of you who have used this watch for some time would be very much appreciated :good:
thanks in advance
you could try Amazon France (amazon.fr)
With shipping to the UK it works out at £178. I ordered mine at the weekend, due for delivery tomorrow.

Lol enjoy it mate
I've had my watch now for several weeks and although I certainly don't speak for all uses, I can tell you what I find useful about this watch. First I really enjoy the fact that I can change the watch face to suit the occasion although to be honest lately I've been sticking with the same face.
I also find the notifications very useful as it lets me triage them which keeps my phone in my pocket more often that not. I find myself pulling out my phone for e-mails, but voice works fine for short texts and is very convenient.
It also works very well as a step counter especially on occasions I've forgotten my phone at a different location. When I retun to my phone the watch will update the step count in Google Fit completely automatically.
This watch is not for everyone and if you have your doubts then by all means don't get it.
Cheers.
well if anyone s after one in the UK, for today only its going for £179.99 @ expansys, I bought mine for £200 on Thursday .....

Does you watch squeal?
It’s been driving me crazy for several days now. And I couldn't find what is making this sound.
Could you please test this?
This is the only mic I have (on my phone) so I apologize for the video in advance.

Thanks
so, its only mine watch then ??

Sorry, mine doesn't do this.
I have tried another watch and is also squeaking.
If you listen carefully in quite room, place the heart rate sensor against your ear.
Also when you turn the screen on the sound changes.
But, it's a watch. You should wear it on your arm, not in your ear .
Skickat via Tapatalk
This is really getting absurd, burn-in after three seconds use, making squeaking noise if you stay 3 hours in a silent room... Guys how about using the stuff you buy normally? I bet that if you put the watch in - 40° C for some hours, it might malfunction. I'm desperate...
You’re missing the point.
I can hear it when lying in bed.
The problem is that this is due to faulty capacitors.
The problem is that from this point this issue will only get worst.
All I am trying to find is if this is a single fault in one device or manufacturing fault.
I also have this problem
Doesn't happen on mine but then again I've only had this watch for about 3 months.
What's the serial number of your watch (you can see ti in Settings -> About)? Maybe it's related.
Mine is 502KP...

Not this number, these are just the last 4 letters of the bluetooth MAC address.
Look in Settings -> About -> Serial number, it should be a long string starting with 410K or 411K, 412K, 501K, 502K, and so on.
This number is interesting
411KP

Obviously it's not normal, obviously it's a hardware issue, what can we do about it?

Get in touch with LG. These watches have at least a 12 month warranty.
Hi
I got the Moto 360, but the Urbane looks way better. Is it worth to get it now or should I just wait for the next smartwatch?
Also, how is the battery life on this thing?
Thanks in advance

I was thinking the same thing a few days ago but decided to order one and got it on Saturday. I love it. I had the original Moto 360 and it was okay but the "flat tire" was annoying as hell and I sold it afer a couple of months. I love the Urbane and would just say go for it if you want one now. By they way, Amazon has them for a little under $300.00.
We should be hearing something official about the moto 360 2 soon. I'm waiting

If it still has that flat tire, I wouldn't buy it. That is one thing that made me get rid of the first version.

Had it for almost half a year now and I never see it, besides when I read about people complaining about it on here. It's more the design of the watch I dislike. The whole "circle with a screen" design. The Urbane looks classy with the right watchface.
I just bought the urbane late this afternoon @ BB. Showed them PM over amazon for 280. I have moto 360 before and it was 4x replaced and the problem is keeps on coming back. The plastic black bars at the back were too brittle. And sometimes the back plastic will cracked. Motorola build quality is questionable.. now are you buying the 2nd one with now lenovo owns motorola? So far, this urbane is a big big step to moto 360
Like what?
So how does this compare to the new moto 360? Worth getting over it? Or should I just spend the extra and get the huawei watch ?
