Motorola wants their wearable gadget to be known as a timepiece first and foremost. It aims to break away from the usual plastic smartwatches by having a sleeker design that could pass as a typical watch because of its stainless steel frame and semi-round display.

It comes with a 1.56-inch 320 x 290 IPS LCD (205 ppi) in a 46 x 11.5 mm body with TI OMAP 3 processor as well as 4 GB internal storage with 512 MB RAM. Weighing 60 grams without strap, the Moto 360 is also equipped with 320 mAh battery that charges using Qi Wireless charging dock. The Moto 360 has a tag price of $249.99.

LG G Watch R

This will be the second wearable product from the LG G Watch line. Unlike the Moto 360 that has a semi-circular face, the LG G Watch R has a full circular LCD display. Though the company still has to reveal when the G Watch R will be released in the market, rumors are saying that the device will come out soon.

The LG G Watch R will come with a 1.3-inch 320 x 320 Full Circle P-OLED display with 245 ppi pixel density. It has a 46.4 x 53.6 x 9.7 mm dimension and weighs 62 grams. The wearable device comes with a 4 GB internal storage that has 512 MB RAM and a 410 mAh battery that will charge using a propriety dock.
