After 6 months with this watch, I uprated it from 4 stars to 5. I love it! It might deserve to lose a star due to its tiny battery, but I've never had it run out on me; however, it's a little unnerving to be getting down below 20% frequently after a long day, but light use. On the upside, the small battery means it charges up very fast, seems to be within an hour.
I'm much more bullish on this watch than many other reviewers, probably because:
1) I'm a battered veteran of a 2+ year love/hate relationship with my Apple Watch Series 1.
2) I'm not a very demanding user -- I wanted a good, basic watch to transition to Android Wear 2.0 from my Apple Watch, and was looking for basic things: always on display, digital seconds, fully customizable watch faces, and oh yes, round shape, because time has no corners, at least not classically.
3) I'm very pleased that Android adopted the digital crown, and this is one of the first watches to implement the Android version, following Apple's lead.
4) I'm also reassured that this was "Swordfish", one of Google's two demo watches for Android Wear 2.0, was built with 2.0 in mind, including the digital crown, and comes with 2.0 pre-installed.
5) I was wiling to fuss around with it a bit to get it working with my iPhone. It didn't take a lot of fiddling, but Google surprisingly STILL hasn't made it all that easy for iOS users. If you have an iPhone, you will feel like a bit of a second class citizen even with Wear 2.0, and in any case, Google still isn't as sleek as Apple at engineering either hardware or software.
Still, this is definitely an upgrade from my Apple Watch 1, much faster and more responsive, with the above features that Apple has still not provided. The Style is elegant, too, with smooth, minimalist, graceful curves; unlike its big brother, the Sport, which has LTE, GPS, and other things I really don't need in a watch, the Style is relatively very trim (it's not a small watch, but it is fairly low profile, at only 10.8 mm high, far slimmer than most other Android Wear options). I got the titanium model, and in my opinion it's much more attractive than many other Android watches that try to achieve a Rolex look and instead appear like cheap knockoffs. LG, like Apple, has had the wisdom too keep a cool, modern tech look that matches phones -- an arena where products don't need to be shiny metal. As a physician, I really needed the always on display and digital seconds, and it's also charming to escape Apple's bizarre tyranny over watch faces, to select instantly from THOUSANDS of possibilities (directly from the Style itself, via wifi), many of them free (even without customization). The price, discounted heavily because the Style has been (unfairly) maligned, was right, too; if Apple somehow comes out with an enormously improved Watch this fall, I can still afford to get one without feeling too guilty. Bottom line: this is a darned good introductory watch for Android Wear 2.0, elegant yet without unnecessary frills. TIP: if you buy it, get the Watchmaker Pro app from Google Play, and then you can have great fun building a custom watch face for yourself -- even doing some coding in Lua. I'm still delighted with the watch, and probably overly pleased with my custom watch face. SO much better than that little pig of an Apple Watch, even though I'm still an Apple guy with everything else.

A great smartwatch
I had been wanting a smartwatch for some time but was waiting for the right one. Well I finally found it! I thought about getting a G Watch R back when those cake out but failed to due to their low supply and high cost. Then I though about getting an Urbane but again wasn't thrilled with the price. Finally along came this good looking round watch from a reputable brand that also didn't empty my wallet.It connected to my Galaxy S8 with ease, sand synced right away. The Android Wear 2.0 interface is a huge improvement over the original version, and the app support is growing to a very respectable level. The included leather band is nice, although I'm not sure how it will look after a while of daily wearing, especially since I tend to be a heavy sweater. Luckily it is easily replaceable, either with more of the overpriced "Mode" bands or a standard watch brand that can be picked up for $10. The metal body looks great and hasn't scratched or dented yet even with my wearing it while camping and hiking where a few bumps gainst rocks and such is inevitable.Battery life varies greatly on how much you use it. Soke days it will last me from 8am to midnight, but others it is dead by 6pm. In days with a lot of notifications combining in and my frequent checking it battery life is a little lackluster, but if you only get the occasional text it will last a long time. Running apps on it also kills it pretty quickly.Overall I am very happy with it. The one thing I wish it had is a speaker for Google Assistant to talk back to me, but I knew it didn't have one before I bought it and can obviously live without it. Just would have been a nice finishing touch. It also has the occasional problem recognizing speech unless you hold it very close to your mouth.
