Samsung and LG are among the first companies to ship the new smartwatches running Android Wear, a new version of Google’s operating system for wrist watches.  Although, we heard from Google a few months ago about Android Wear, now consumers will finally be able to get their hands on the new form factor of wearable wrist watches. 

LG G Watch tech specs 

Operating system: Android Wear  Display: 1.65-inch 280 x 280 IPS LCD  Weight: 63g  Battery: 400 mAh  Processor: 1.2GHz  Wireless: Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy  Storage: 4GB  RAM: 512MB  Ports and connectors: USB pogo pin and Micro USB on charging cradle  Sensors: 9 Axis (Accelerometer/Compass/Gyro)  Requirements: Smartphone running Android 4.3 or higher 

Samsung Gear Live tech specs 

Operating system: Android Wear  Display: 1.63-inch 320 x 320 SuperAMOLED (278 ppi)  Weight: 59g  Battery: 300 mAh  Processor: 1.2GHz  Wireless: Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy  Storage: 4GB  RAM: 512MB  Ports and connectors: USB pogo pin  Sensors: 9 Axis (Accelerometer/Compass/Gyro/Heart rate monitor)  Requirements: Smartphone running Android 4.3 or higher 

While both models coming from Samsung and LG look good, the Motorola Moto 360 is by far the best we have seen making use of the circular screen, so you may want to hold off until it becomes available.  With Google finally ready to ship Android Wear, now I wonder how long will it take for Microsoft and Apple to follow.
