Deciding on a smart watch

So I have been deciding on what type of smart watch I want to get, I have looked at various products and think I can narrow it down to two products that I am interested in, Moto 360 and LG R4.

Moto 360 

Pros:

The metallic style and round face looks amazing, most smart watchers are square with leather or plastic wrist bands, this does not appeal to me as I find it tacky and after trying some on noticed that the square watch have an extended face thus making my shirts catch on them.

I love the fact that its got wireless charging and is water proof so I don't have to worry about washing my hands.

Cons:

Well the biggest con for me is the price, the Moto 360 is a bit expensive comparing it with the other smart watches, some people say the battery is bad but after checking out the info myself and the battery drain is due to an app that can be disabled making the watch run for a full work day.


LG R 4

Pros:

The LG R 4 watches display is amazing, its full circular and easier to navigate thought the apps, along with the fact that the Moto 360 is 320x290 where the LG R 4 is 320x320 its got a advantage on display quality aswell. The performance of the LG R 4 is also better with a 1.2GHz Snapdragon, 400 processor and 512MB of RAM.

Cons:

The cons I have with this phone is the aesthetics, it doesn't look as good as the Moto 360, the bezel is rather large and looks plastic, along with the plastic strap and the thickness means that shirts catch on the top of the watch face, it seems like its going to be a choice of looks over performance.


Gonna keep researching and I there are always the 2nd Gen of smart watches coming along, including the upcoming Google smart watch, lets see what the future brings.
