The G Watch R possesses all relevant functions for me. Writing mail and SMS by voice is possible incoming calls and SMS as well as notifications from Facebook and WhatsApp are also displayed. The resolution of the display is good and you can also see images well.
In the meantime, there are already a lot of apps made for Android Wear and just the navigation function in the city well and I do not have all the time to keep the phone in his hand. Here makes voice control paid that works reasonably well even in ambient noise. Google Maps and Google Search function like on the phone.
Pedometer and fitness apps work so far, are from me but rarely used. The heart rate measurement is a measurement at the wrist -verglichen with corresponding accuracy. With an upper arm device but it differs by up to 2-3 shots. Acceptable to me.
Battery life is in the meantime 2 days at multiple daily use and a not so low power dial. By using the Navi function and the fitness components that can also be reduced to one day (but only if the "Always on" function of the dial is made of). But even that is acceptable. If the clock is used only as such, it also securely holds a third day. But that is not the meaning and was known. In this respect, everything's alright.
So all positive? Not quite. For me negatively the leather strap of G Watch R. At first is still quite inflexible, it can be achieved by moving to make more flexible. However, I do not like leather because I'm wearing the clock for showering and the tape would therefore not long remain so. Therefore, I have the leather strap replaced by a stainless steel with safety catch. Now this is great, but the clock can now be no longer as simply placed on the charging station.
Also, for the settings of some apps still the mobile phone necessary. But that is probably the programmer as the clock itself.
All in all, not for me but leads to a devaluation, as most things were known in advance. So from me 5 stars. To view I once uploaded a photo with my style and my band.
