Still have mine in my drawer. Great watch, resisted getting another for years until wife got me a Samsung for my birthday. They have come a long way, but I still sometimes miss the Moto, wish batteries were replaceable.

I bought the LG G Watch when it was on sale for $80 with a free $50 Google Play gift card. I was worth that price, but, WearOS 2 declared watches without buttons dead, only a few months after I bought my first smartwatch. Google has an enormous history of killing off products, and while I know Android will have a solution to wearables, I don’t see Google supporting WearOS permanently.

Had one of these.

Sadly misplaced it after about 3 years of use.

I think mine made it about 2 years before the back plate started cracking. Then the screen gave out

Pebble had great UI. It’s a pity that Fitbit didn’t run with it. I still prefer the button to touch screens on watches.

And now Google is nerfing Fitbit features so people have a reason to buy their full smartwatch. It’s shitty.
