Google proceeded to take on the newly-launched and much hyped Apple Watch by releasing a major update for its Android Wear smartwatches line up. Now that the new Android Wear offers new features, gestures, and options, how does each smart watch compare?
Design
All three smartwatches, LG's G Watch R and Urbane, and Motorola's Moto 360 all feature a traditional time piece shape. The circular watch faces for both LG devices offer 320 x 320 pixels, while the Moto 360 has 320 x 390 pixels. In terms of size, the Moto 360 also offers a larger display at 1.56 inches. The LG smartwatches, on the other hand, are smaller at 1.3 inches.
Customization
Moto 360 takes the cake with its inclusion in the Moto Maker website. Although all three offer replaceable wrist straps, watch faces, and watch cases, the Moto 360 is the only Android Wear that offers full customization out of the box. Before they place an order, buyers can go to the Moto Maker website and choose options to make their watches unique.
Interface
It seems that by being the most recent addition, the LG Urbane has more interface options than other Android Wear. It is the only device with speaker, and features connectivity with most social media apps such as Facebook, Google Hangout, and Instagram. The G Watch R, on the other hand, only offers basic smartwatch functions and features like alarms, notifications, and reminders.
The LG Urbane also offers a full range of remote features, like wireless phone conversations, music controls, remote notification responses, and voice controls.
Hardware specs
All three run on 512 BM RAM and has 4 GB of internal storage. In terms of performance, however, the LG Urbane is faster than the other two, being equipped with a quad-core Snapdragon 400 by Qualcomm.
