A heart rate monitor is placed at the center of the back with the charging dock connectors on the left side.

The included leather strap is a bit stiff out of the box, but has already started to contour and fit better after a week. The LG G Watch R uses standard 22 mm band posts so you can swap out your own band as you like.

It weighs about the same as the Moto 360 and sits well on my wrist. I found it comfortable to wear and think it is an attractive watch for the most part.

Software

The LG G Watch R runs Android Wear and that experience is the same on all of these Android Wear watches. LG has quite a few functional and attractive watch face options, but unlike the Moto 360 there is no Android companion app that lets you customize the watch face.

Android Wear does a good job with notifications, voice control, and the Google Now experience, but there are a few issues with this software. I have yet to find a way to acknowledge all Google Now cards at once and when I ignore the watch for a while and come back to it I tire of all the swiping to clear out the queue.

Unlike the Microsoft Band (see my first impressions of it), after you dismiss a notification there is no way to see it again on the watch.
