Just
like every other Android Wear watch out there, both the LG G Watch R
and Moto 360 run pretty much the same software. Menu interaction is the
same series of swipes and apps work just as well on both, really the
only difference is the the selection of watch faces you have to choose
from.
Both have ways of tracking your heart and counting
your steps, while they both can cope with joining you in the shower,
though probably not in the swimming pool.
Specs
wise the LG G Watch R runs on a Snapdragon 400 processor, which is more
than enough for a watch and the Moto 360 is powered by a TI OMAP 3
processor.
Motorola Moto 360 vs LG G Watch R: Battery
Battery has so far been the major disappointment with Android Wear devices and neither one of these two looks to change that.Winning the race though is the LG G Watch R, which is said to last two days on a single charge, but the downside is that it needs a pesky charging adaptor to juice it back up again.
We’ve heard from Motorola that the 360 will last a day, but it does feature Qi wireless charging and an included dock to quickly bring it back to life without the need for cables.
Motorola Moto 360 vs LG G Watch R: Display
Both pack the same 320x320 display, but the Moto 360 is just slightly bigger with a 1.5-inch version as opposed the LG’s 1.3-incher. Pixels are visible, but for glancing down and picking out vital bits of info the resolution isn't that much of an issue, for now.The Moto 360 will go on-sale September 14 for £199, while the LG G Watch R will see a release later this year.
