LG G Watch R Gear S and Samsung have announced today, although their official launch will take place at the IFA in Berlin, which begin Sept. 4 (there will be a strong team – expect many relationship). This, of course, competitive products, although very different approach to the concept of a smart watch.

LG G Watch R
The new LG G Watch R is the successor shown in June WATCH G Watch. It’s the “R” in the name probably means “round” or round. Because – at first glance – the main difference between these models. While the first SmartWatch LG looked a bit blocky, with so many new “R” is a watch that you can confidently wear a jacket and a shirt.
The screen is a circular OLED display with a resolution of 320×320 pixels. What does it mean when a round screen? Probably the wheel diameter in inches of 1.3. The screen is placed in a stainless steel housing, which is attached to a typical strip. Whole meets IP67 or is completely resistant to dust and can be submerged to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes.
Watch LG is based on Android and the Bluetooth connects to the smartphone. Then becomes his “extension” – informs about incoming calls or messages and connects to the network using the phone.
LG G Watch R is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 400, has 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB data storage. It is equipped with a position sensor, barometer and gauge the pulse. The whole is powered by a battery with a capacity of 410 mAh.
Illustrations that are presented are not photographs and images wyrenderowanymi watch. It can be expected that the face of the watch will not look as good as it is presented – the screen resolution may not be sufficient, so to accurately show details. How will, in fact we will see next week.

Samsung Gear S
The watch shown by Samsung based on a different idea. While the LG G Watch R is almost entirely dependent on the phone so much and Samsung Gear S is the unit yourself connecting to the network. On the back wall is a slot for a SIM card, which allows the watch is practically independent phone. Of course, can still work with your smartphone, but it is not from him hooked.
Is this a good idea? In some situations, for sure. SmartWatch Gear from the beginning they were made with a view to practicing a sport. Gear S is ideal for running – no need to take along a large phone and we can stay in touch with the world (if anyone has such a need). Gear S allows both voice and messaging.
Samsung Gear S has 2-inch rectangular, curved Super AMOLED display. It works not based on Android, and Samsung’s own system – Tizen. What is interesting to pedestrian navigation using Nokia maps here, which is another departure from the Google system. It is equipped with an accelerometer, barometer and gauge the pulse. Processor with two cores clocked 1 GHz, memory is 512 MB RAM and 4 GB of data. 300 mAh battery having a watch to keep alive for two days.
Samsung introduced a very interesting handset – Gear Circle. This wireless headset connects to your phone or watch via Bluetooth. Headphones like a necklace or – as some prefer – collar. When not in use, they can be joined by magnets so that encircled his neck. We must also admit that Samsung’s Circle Gear as shown vividly recall a few months ago like handset released by LG.
Which approach is better – watch depends on your phone or yourself connecting to the network? It must be remembered that the latter requires a separate SIM card, so a second subscription or prepaid. Sure convenient to have a separate unit, but if the future of the Internet of Things is to rely on buying countless SIM cards, I see it in black.
