buying the LG G watch - LG G Watch

Hello there,
I have a good deal to get the G watch W100 new for $70 .. its now sold for $100 at least.
I'm a fan of these things but they are really over priced .. like the urban watch is being sold for $400.
Anyhow.. do you think its a good idea to buy it now with this price?
if you can through me any ideas, thoughts.. battery life, experience with it .. I'd be grateful
and about the updates, I know it just receive the new 5.1.1 .. do we expect to get android 6 on W100 or no more updates ?
many thanks

I just saw a $50 deal come across one of my deal sites: http://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/lg-g-watch/?null
Also, if you use ShopDiscover, I'm told you can get 15% credit...

As long as you don't mind how ugly it is and that it's a large fat square (uncomfortable depending on wrist size and where you like to place watch) then I think it's a great deal if you are in to tech. I have had mine since black Friday and for the 0 i paid back then I think it's still good/ I usually use always on screen with turn to wake off and can get 2 days battery, but I always charge it at night anyways just because why not? Even with tun to wake on it still get at least 1.5 days of use for me with moderate amount of notifications. It runs super smooth. It's bright enough for anything except direct sun light, in which case all the watches I've seen have a little issue with. I recently had a moto 360 because I like the look of it a lot more and it was a little bit more comfortable as well. But after using the G watch for over 6 months the 360 was laggy and I had to charge the watch about twice a day. If I turned off everything I'm sure it would last a whole day, but I didn't like that sacrifice. Since all the watches so far have the same specs with proc, ram and, rom (except the first gen moto 360) I would assume that it's extremely easy to push updates out to all of them since there's hardly any variation. I would be surprised if the g watch stopped getting updates any time soon. The only thing I kind of wish this watch had was a heart rate sensor. Not for any practical reason (the 360 was very hit or miss if it would work, but partially because i like to wear my watches loose I guess), but just for fun when I am nervous or something to see how it changes. I also shower with my watch on when I go to the gym 4-6 days a week. And never had an issue with that either. If there's anything else specific you can think of let me know.
All that being said I think the next gen 360 or the huawei watch look so much better. Of course those are 300+ bucks too though. So if price is a big concern you can't beat the g watch for 50 bucks.

Agreed. The g watch it's still a very good deal at 50$ hardware and software wise it's the same as the other smartwatches on the market. Only the look differs but I personally think it's not that ugly when you get used to it.
