LG G watch for 7k. But does the price tag make it a good buy?

I got it of impulse at 6.2k, but then amazon screwed up delivery, so returned it.

 

I suggest u wait out for few months

Android Lollipop in-depth review @Ars Technica.

 

The Good
  • Material Design brings a fresh, beautiful look to the entire OS.
  • The animations aren't perfect, but they make Android feel like a slick OS and less like, well, Android.
  • Hands-free, always-on voice commands are the best thing to happen to smartphones in years.
  • The "document centric" multitasking interface makes multitasking in a single app a breeze. Mixing in websites with native apps makes users think less about the app and more about the task.
  • Smart Lock is a nice mix of security and convenience.
  • Notifications are improved all around—less interruptions when you don't want them, much more user control, and finally, a do not disturb mode.
  • The Quick Settings panel is easier to access and has some long awaited new toggles like auto rotate and flashlight.
The Bad
  • Still no phone support for landscape in the home screen and lock screen.
  • Inconsistent apps. Some are updated for Material Design, some aren't. Some of the apps that were updated weren't updated consistently.
  • The new Google Calendar app is slower and shows less information than the old one. They even removed the month view.
  • Gmail taking over e-mail duty gets really confusing if you've switched to Inbox. I'm now using Inbox to access Gmail and Gmail to access Exchange.
The Ugly
  • Beware the inevitable TouchWiz release that paves over all the improvements and ships on millions more devices.

 

Also, MOTO G (2013) soak test commences in India. MOTO X+1 and MOTO G (2014) update already pushed.

Do stores like Croma and Reliance Digital sell smart watches? Wanted to check them out in person.

Try to avoid Croma.They sell everything at much higher price than local stores and online e-tailers.i went to Croma to buy dvd player -there was a Philips model for 2.5k which same model is available in Flipkart and amazon for 1.9k and one sony model for 3k which available on snapdeal for 2k.Everything in croma is much more expensive.
