I've worn a smart watch for quite a while before. My experience is it really does keep you away from your phone. You won't really know how distracted You are with your phone until you actually get one of these stuff.

It's a great feeling. I can definitely see wearables going far.

Good review from an android channel. Was unbiased than I expected. And he did admit the apple watch has more intuitive notifications, a larger app selection, more features as well. The apple watch is better than android wear. And he said it in a good way from an android users perspective!

This is a useless comparison... It's like trying to compare "Apples" and Oranges

[AkaDaOne]

how does it compare to the gear s? gear s vs apple watch

Is there any chance we can get an updated video when Android wear 2.0 comes out? I think it would be great as both platforms have evolved!

What's the next version of moto 360 and when does it come out?

Summed up nicely at the end. The iwatch wants to be a phone on your wrist (which, like Samsung's Tizen Gears, I find silly. Wear is a companion to your phone, as it should be.

Has anyone noticed that he's been holding the Apple Watch upside down

It's funny how the video makes Apple Watch seem much more capable, yet everyone in the comments section seems to love android.

[SalarAzad]

Great video, very informative, thank you !!!

[juriaanoussoren]

it's funny how no review ever show what this cards do, first every notification feels like 1 part because they come in this white card,
but thing like when you put netflix on you're tv a card pops up to play and pause you're tv,
same as if you youtube tru you're speaker it gives you next song and volume card,
, also if you walk over the street you get automatic bus and tram times when you're bus station is close,
small things but makes android wear what it is and usable tru every day life, if you like this

On Apple watch you are stuck with the preinstalled watchfaces. This is a lot bigger issue than was mentioned in the video. There might come support but until then, that is a big deal breaker for me at least. On android one can develop a watch face for any taste and use all the capabilities of the watch.

Whats the song title in the background please :)

[eyadsawas]

Please make a review to innjoo innwatch and open the box .... thank you ....

[GadgetyMV]

Excellent review. Great footage. The mostly black interface looks good on the Apple Watch. I think Google needs to rethink it's Android Wear design language and color scheme.

[rszanger]

LG Urbane is a very high quality build as Well as Apple watch or even better! And Upcoming Samsung Orbis will be better.

[NonsensicalSpudz]

its an interesting comparison as its not comparing the phones obviously

At this point in time, I have to say the Apple Watch is much more laggy and has more frame drops than the Android Wear (I have the Apple Watch). But, then again, the Android Wear is on its 5th OS while the Apple Watch is on its 1st. When Android Wear first came out, it was more laggy than the Apple Watch.

But also, Apple Watch has a lot more functionality, but Android Wear looks slicker
