Here is a bit of feedback based on my initial first impressions.
1)The build quality of the LG watch is actually quite impressive. The charging dock holds the watch firmly. I have a feeling that several Samsung users are cursing under their breath right now. I do wish the band was about a half an inch longer for us large wristed folks.
2) Unfortunately I am not a fan of anything with a proprietary charging system as I tend to travel quite a bit. I would love the option to purchase at least 2 extra charging docks (for my desk at the office and one for the road)
3) The platform is actually very stable and responsive. I actually expected more bugs.
4) The microphone is actually very sensitive and picks you up clearly, even in loud places.
5) The App selection is a bit minimal now but I expect this to change rapidly over the next few weeks.
6) Being a +Google Glass Explorer, I see several cool features that both platforms can borrow from each other. Both form factors are great and I will not put myself in a position to choose just one.
7) I would LOVE to see something similar to the Glass Mirror API on Android Wear
8) I am disappointed that there is not better integration with Google Plus or that wear cannot initiate a Hangout.
9) I would love to see a camera added to a future watch. I can see it having some use. Same with WiFi.
10) I wish I would be able to read complete emails on the watch (thus is useful if you spend a lot of time in meetings)
11) I believe that the Pedometer needs some work. It shows I did about 300 steps when in fact I was sitting down eating dinner. I just set the goal to a real high number to adjust.
12) The setup process was very simple and straight forward.
Overall, I am not disappointed and am liking the platform quite a lot. I have yet to test battery life to see how it holds up to what I would consider normal use.
