Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Compatible with Android Devices
Although there is no support for iOS devices.
Pro Power efficient touchscreen
The Mirasol display combines the always on capability, efficiency, and outdoor visibility of the Pebble with the color touchscreen of the Gear 2.
Pro Clear, responsive IPS display
The G Watch has a clear, responsive 280x280 IPS LCD with slightly noticeable lack of deep blacks.
Pro About 2 days of battery life
The G Watch has a 400 mAh that lasts for roughly 2 days of typical use.
Cons
Con Unfinished
The Qualcomm Toq has been considered a great showcase for Mirasol technology but many say it is not consumer ready.
Con Low Quality Watchband
The Toq requires that you physically cut the watch to fit your wrist. Therefore sharing your Toq won't be possible and you better hope you get it right the first time.
Con Price
The Toq costs $249 which is pricey, especially considering that it doesn't run a major OS and the future of the software is doubtful at best.
Con No Microphone, Camera, or Speaker
Like the Pebble Steel, no camera, microphone, or speaker eliminates a lot of possibilities like talking to your smartwatch or videochatting on your watch.
Con No GPS
Con No Wi-Fi support
Con Corroding charging pins (can be solved with a software update)
Multiple people are reporting corroding charging pins. Additionally, LG has said that they won't be addressing the issue and there's even a unified attempt from the community to pressure LG in fixing the issue.
LG has released a software patch to address this issue. It should be resolved after applying the patch.
Con Display slightly lacks blacks
Mostly noticeable in direct sunlight, the LG G Watch black levels are somewhat lacking.
