Running Android Wear, the LG G Watch R looks and feels just like a regular round stylish watch. It has a classic design encased in durable stainless steel and aluminum, and it boasts a fully circular 1.3 inch Plastic OLED (P-OLED) display for great colors reproduction and better viewing angles.

And like most watches nowadays, it also has dust and water resistance of up to 30 minutes at a depth of one meter.
