Having more than 20 years carried no more clock, I settled in mid-December 2014 the experiment with a SmartWatch with Android Wear a. So far I have not regretted it. Sure, the clock, even if it is not the first model is that LG introduced to the market, is a generation one model. Still, the development of this product category in its infancy. Even the Apple Watch, which will be commercially available from April, is still in its infancy. Since I use the clock, I'll get the phone much less out of his pocket. I see messages and then wipe it away, like on your smartphone. Only if there is an important message that I want to read immediately, I go on the smartphone itself. Practically, the control of music and podcasts on the clock. So you can just pause or adjust the volume. But you have to know that not every app can be started on the clock. Pocket Cast is one such example. I started the podcast over the phone, but I can control him on the clock. Another practical feature is the ability to respond to WhatsApp messages by dictation. However, here it is delivered to the clock at the mercy. The spoken text was not detected correctly, you can not correct, as on the smartphone itself. Very good, I find the possibility to personalize the clock via a Watch Face. I use eg Ranger, because me this a small compass, steps, weather and battery levels of clock and smartphone displays next to the time and date yourself. Even when navigating through Google Maps, the clock can be useful. Must start to navigate on the smartphone itself. Then direction instructions are displayed on the clock, not as rich as information on the smartphone itself but still. Rarely it happens that clock and smartphone no longer properly exchanging data, so incoming messages will no longer appear around. Then it is enough to start the clock on their menu again. Only once turned the clock with a time getting off the display when it was not in use. Here I had to correct on the smartphone on Android Wear. The battery has not always without difficulty a complete long day of 6 - 22 held by clock and it was still sufficient reserve. On the whole, the thing runs smoothly and there are few problems. For uninformed it might not be so easy to solve the few problems that can occur. These people are such a clock but not buy. For people who love gadgets and are among the early adopters, I can recommend this clock without restriction.
