Moto 360 Vs LG G Watch R Vs Sony Smartwatch 3 Way Comparison

[@ChisomAgada]

Good Review but you forgot some key points about the Sony Smartwatch 3 Sony Smartwatch has NFC, GPS and is Wifi Enabled. Moto 360 and LG G Watch R do not have either of these features. Once android wear is updated, Sony Smartwatch will have navigation capabilities outside of being connected to a smartphone. NFC and WiFi will have many uses once enabled as well. Sony Smartwatch lets you future proof yourself at least for more than 6 months.

[@Niccel]

This is such a great video for someone looking at smartwatches. I haven't seen one that even comes close, yet.

[@augustinekau]

Pros of Sony smartwatch 3: Integrated GPS* -That allows the watch to track location on its own, without having to be connected to a phone. Able to find a location on the street to a restaurant without having to pull your phone out of your pocket WiFi & NFC* - (Android Wear does not support WiFi function currently. ) -NFC payment systems available once android is updated Transflective screen - able to see best in sunlight/outdoor, less trouble with outdoor viewing than any other watch Low power screen -low-power mode is as effective as like e-ink, fully readable in sunlight, and uses almost no energy since it uses no backlight. Very useful for watch to last longer USB charging port - convenient to charge anywhere as special dock isn't required, and since mirco usb is very common and do not need to carry the dock around if you have a portable changer Larger and sqaure screen - able to see more if notification of sms or email is long, screen won't be cut off Built in music player -able to listen to music if connected to Bluetooth headset without a need of connecting with your phone, hence able to go for outdoor jogging without having the need to bring a bulky phone Cheap - one of the cheapest smartwatch Battery life -largest battery life of 420mAh, hence able to last longer with is essential for all smartwatch as whats a smartwatch without any battery? IP68 rating -waterproof and dust resistant (compared to other IP67 rating smartwatch, it is actually not a big difference) * Sony SmartWatch 3 has a lot of untapped potential. Currently, its most exciting features are either poorly supported (GPS), or not supported at all (WiFi, NFC). If/when Google releases a new version of the OS to enable all its features, and more fitness apps get updated to take advantage of the built-in GPS, this might become the best Android Wear device money can buy. (Gathered all information from many comments, review, videos)

[@braydenjohnson2325]

(Noob question I know.) Can the Sony Smartwatch 3 send text messages via bluetooth from like your phones number?

[@DougDtech]

Brayden Johnson yes your correct it can

[@Ryan-ue9ve]

Moto 360 has in my opinion the better design.. which pretty much wins it for me lol.

[@sajeevravi5950]

but it wont get android wear 2.0

[@arlvargas61]

I was looking all week for a review on those smartwatches and by far this is the best 1!!!

[@GoMetricToday]

Just picked up the Sony Smartwatch 3 today. Haven't had much of a chance to play around with it yet. But I am impressed at how easy it was to set up. More of a review later.

[@roniirawan7431]

for me is Sony Smart Watch. battery life is very important to heavy user like me. Sony design is sporty, i prefer to choose bigger screen for smart watch also in case to read messages or short email. Sony also have a built in GPS and can do music play voice remote. i don't use heart rate thing even it would be better if available. and its cheapest among those 3

[@ModestKarma]

You left out the GPS, WiFi, NFC ,and transflective screen on the Sony, while mentioning the heart rate on the other two. Also did not point out the advantage of having a USB charging port. These are significant omissions.

[@roniirawan7431]

agreed. i dont like to bring any charger..just bring one usb charging for phone both to smart watch..

[@apymv6128]

yes thats why, they are doomed

[@idahofarmer2000]

How is a usb charger convenient?

[@stillblazinkush]

I'll explain from my perspective for those still on the fence. *Don't want to read everything below? Here is a shorter summary:* *All in all the Moto 360 seems to be for those more active due to the heart monitor or concerned about cosmetic appeal,* *the SW3 is more for tech use due to longer life/processor speed/standalone features/NFIC & wifi, and the LG G seems to* *be a somewhat nice combination of both sharing heart monitor feature, looks, and longer life/processor speed without the various extras.* As most seem to agree the Moto 360 is the best looking out of the options presented, along with it having the heart rate monitor this watch seems it would be for those who are more active, or want more of a customizable watch than a wrist-computer. On the other hand the SW3 is slightly faster with more battery life, WIFI/NFC options, and standalone GPS/music. For a somewhat tech person like myself I feel like the SW3 is a great choice due to more options and longer life as well as the minor speed increase. That being said even though it has no heart monitor for more active users the standalone gps is very accurate in helping those track mileage etc. Oh, don't forget another key feature universal charging. The SW3 uses the now standard micro usb port which is great imo. Of course for most the SW3's visual appearance leaves much to be desired. So from one end of the spectrum being more active/style based to less appealing cosmetically with hardware increases I see the LG G as a nice mix of the two. It has the heart monitor feature shared with the Moto 360 as well as similar visual appeal. At the same time it also has almost the same amount of battery life as the SW3 as well as the same processor speed. Beyond that, aside from price, these options really are pretty similar. Meaning around 1-1.2ghz or so on processor, 4gb of space, and 512mb of ram not to mention they run off Android Wear as some watches don't. Note: When I say 4gb of space this does not include the software for the watch. From what I see many end up with around 2gb of useable space or so. Don't forget to also check out the Galaxy Gear S being the 1st to be a completely standalone smartwatch (optional separate SIM). All in all, if you find yourself thinking "will this be worth it"? If it isn't now the newer models will definitely offer more in the next year or so, but of course this applies to a lot of things these days.

[@EveryDesign]

One of the best smartwatch reviews out there, brilliant guys, keep up the good work, now I need me a LG G watch

[@RonakBorana]

The Sony Smartwatch is the only one of the 3 with built in GPS and standalone music playing capability, if I'm not mistaken..!!

[@ChisomAgada]

It also has NFC and Wifi. I believe its Bluetooth 4.1 as well.

[@Quietprofessional1]

Moto 360 and G Watch R are made of stainless steel not aluminum and the Moto 360 has a 300mAh battery not 320. Still, good review and thanks.

[@matthewllamas03]

Thanks for keeping it simple and to the point. You definitely covered the most important features and specs I needed to compare.

[@Pedrovaca]

How's microUSB not convenient? I think I have 20 of those just in my house, a few more in my office and I can borrow one pretty much everywhere I go. How many wireless chargers do you have? What about LG docks?!

[@WhiteBeard640]

Sony smartwatch 3 is the best

[@apymv6128]

yes thats why, they are doomed

[@ezwins1234]

Sales doesn't signify best or not, it is the watch itself.

[@CharlesHatton]

Right now I have you Moto 360, and it's really nice ...with the exception of the battery life and processing power. It hiccups a bit and doesn't last long for me since I'm a power user. planning on getting the Sony SmartWatch 3 instead! My partner will do fine with the hand me down, lol!

[@jortuspelatus7364]

Great comparison. Though you forgot to mention that the Sony Smartwatch 3 has the only one that has built-in GPS functionality. And I don't know whether these smartwatches have NFC support. BTW I have a G Watch R. Loving it!

[@rohansingh4327]

well I have the Sony and it's pretty awesome

[@soundknight]

The Sony (as much as I don't like to admit it) is of benefit with a USB charge plug because you can plug it in at work to your computer and at night return it to its stand. The Moto you have to either run home and charge it before you go to dinner or buy a second charge station $$$ that is absolutely atrocious. The moto is preferable to me in most ways but that charge issue is a deal killer. Plus I don't wana take it off whilst at work anyway.

[@Sm8llboy]

I was thinking the same thing. I lean towards the Smartwatch 3 for exactly the reasons you stated, not to mention that it is the clear winner on battery performance which I believe is critical for to wearables. I tend to carry around a portable battery charging tube pack albeit with a short usb cable. Using the 360 eliminates that practicality, and one would be advised to buy an aftermarket magnetic dock for the G watch if they want to charge it on the go, meaning carrying around more parts. Something I have come to dislike on my Gear Neo 2.

[@tuopinionno]

And he didnt mention that the Sony has GPS built in.

[@ovidiulazar6226]

what he forgot to mention is... Sony smartwatch 3 - has built in BT transmitter ( you can load up songs on it and stream them to bluetooth headphones - while your phone is at home) - the screen is dual - it has a low standby mode that still shows the hour and notifications even if is off - which increases the battery life (i guess the review was done with a prerelease or something... ) - the microusb port might not be cool but can be charged everywhere... PS if I turn off the gps feature, i get around 1 day extra from the Sony. Although i loved the way the LG looked from outside, the sony is way more useful daily.

[@adioo890]

also its waterproof

[@benjaminbee4788]

i hopefully getting a SSW3 for my birthday in early October, would you recommend?

[@jammyjt]

The Moto 360 is so damn sexy though.

[@megalopath]

Thanks for the information, helped me make my choice! I'm planning to buy a LG G Watch R after I get my paycheck, but I wanted a bit more info when comparing it to these two specific watches. Your video gave a nice and objective comparison between the three which helped me decide on sticking with my choice. Given the OLED screen, long battery life, and the professional design of the aesthetics (also that bezel on the watch looks like it may protect the screen a bit better than the other two) of the LG G Watch R, it seems like a better choice for me. I'm very grateful for the excellent job you did, please keep up the work!

[@lightningrod56]

nice review!I'm planning to buy a smartwatch,so it's a big help for me to have an idea of what is the best and comfortable smartwatch for me,tnx a lot and keep up the good work!

[@VenkateshPattamatta]

The dimensions you said 46mm and 46.5mm are those the screen display sizes or the end to end diameter size?

[@YourTechGuide.]

should have done a side comparison of a Seiko watch so we have an idea how thick those smart watches are compare to a real watch. cause I heard a lot of people say those smart watches are thick!

[@DennyPrastha]

Good review man! But thanks to you now i'm stuck in a bigger dilema. :( Before I watch this, I almost buy Moto 360. But now I have to rethink again. The SW3 is very appealing, but the design of 360 is just so beautiful. Do you have any suggestion which should I buy? Anyway, that's really a great review. :)

[@hyperbluebrz1761]

+Denny Prastha samsung gear s2

[@izzie1200]

sony smartwatch 3 is way better. it's like half the price and does the same thing.

[@apymv6128]

I hope you didnt buy shit sony

[@0bscura]

Kids, having never worn a watch are now reviewing watches and putting them on their right hand. #GetOffMyLawn

[@0bscura]

+Moustafa Elshawaf Doesn't matter. I'm left handed and I wear my watch on the left because it was designed that way. There are a few "left handed" watches designed to be worn on the right. You'll know when you see one, the crown is on the left so it can be manipulated by the wearer's left hand.

[@MrSlimShadey1]

The 360 is so nice but the LG is better spec wise I guess if only there were a watch that looked like the 360 and preformed like the LG

[@MySavageDynasty]

The galaxy gear live? Where is it?

[@haloshadowsnipe3014]

LG G Watch > Moto 360 > Sony Smartwatch 3

[@FalconGames109]

Honestly, the fact that the Sony Smartwatch 3 is significantly cheaper than the other two is enough for most people, but it also has the best specs for the price and a square screen, which, while not as attractive, is better for almost everything you'll be doing on the watch (as nothing will get cut off). Sure, it doesn't have a lot of the nice, convenient features that the others do, like induction charging and a heartrate monitor, but overall it seems like the best deal.

[@TheEnigmaticDevil]

Falcon Games I feel micro usb charging is the best. Also you can take phone calls on Smartwatch 3 only. It has a mic and speaker. :p

[@ausable]

Falcon Games the Sony SmartWatch do you have the same price point as the moto 360 but I won't argue

[@FalconGames109]

Aiden Robertson Yeah the prices have changed since I posted the comment.

[@ausable]

Meh were not all perfect

[@ayba_10]

Great comparison! Gives me perspective on what to buy. Thanks :)

[@CaityDad]

My choice for speed, display, manliness, and the critical " How close to a real watch Functionality does this Smartwatch have?" is the LG G Watch R.

[@matheussiade6023]

Not saying you've made a mistake but some tests and benchmarks point out that the snapdragon 400 chip on these devices are not operating at maximum power and using only one core at about 800Mhz.

[@Quietprofessional1]

I have the G Watch and I prefer the round watchface of the 360 and the g watch r. Round watch faces just look better. Also, the g watch r is p oled as in plastic.

[@nightriders92]

great review, please compare it to the Samsung Gear S, i'm really tempted to get one...i'm using a Note 4 so compatibility shouldn't be a problem really torn apart between the Gear S and the moto360

[@NickTsiotinos]

These are completely different watches with completely different functionality. If I were you - I would look very carefully at the functionality of Android Wear vs the functionality of the Tizen OS that the Gear S uses. Note also that the Gear S requires its own SIM card to take full advantage of its functionality - which means another data plan and added cost separate to your phone. The Gear S functionality is designed to be independent of the phone, whereas the Moto is complementary to the phone and is pretty useless without its phone connection.

[@13druid13]

Did you say, "Hey guys, how's it going, this is a watch?"

[@itsme.1016]

does any of them have a remote for your tv

[@eles823]

there are apps for that

[@shpejtimberisha3024]

Gaby101 do you mean IR?

[@TheMarcus242]

I have a Sony Xperia but want to get Moto 360. Do I need a Motorola for everything to work with the Moto 360?

[@Error-pg1dr]

Everything with Android on it will do it

[@TheMarcus242]

Thanks

[@pt020]

Like your review but... A review of a watch must be made also outdoors,at home you have different light than outdoors you better try the screens in the sunlight,you will find out very soon that the screen of SW3 is the best in that condition, When I come home I usually take my watch off,so it is not important to me how the screen looks like opposite the camera. Have still the Smartwatch 2 with the same screen,and the screen is the best I ever had outdoors,wish they used same technology also in phones screens.

[@ssongu_]

I'm very unsure i want the lg g watch r but it is so much more expensive here in norway and the moto360 would be my second choise because it is cheper but im still not sure....

[@sudhakars3412]

Thanks buddy. That was really helpful.

[@bdup4876]

Can you call and answer calls and messages with the sony smartwatch 3?

[@ianwebster5502]

A couple more points I've gleaned - the Sony SW3 has a transreflective screen, which makes it much more viewable in sunlight, but also leaves a yellowish tinge on all "white" surfaces. It's also a dust and lint magnet thanks to that rubber strap. Personally, I'm still completely torn. Moto 360 looks the best but has the worst specs. LG R has great specs, but is overpriced. Sony SW3 has the best specs, but looks meh, and that yellow tinge worries me.

[@PreppyGrace12]

Ian Webster haha you just described exactly how i feel about the 3 :)

[@ciarancarty6052]

Great review man, it's been a great help!

[@AnshNasta]

what's the difference in waterproofing?

[@TheAndroidAdventure]

Hmmm... No mention at all of the built in GPS of the SW3? That's kind of a big selling point for some people.

[@MTWidowan]

moto 360 look AWESOME but i love SW3 T_T

[@jalabeanos9311]

Me too... i dont know which one to buy....

[@MTWidowan]

Pyllynalle I think SW3 better :\

[@carlosh7166]

MT.Widowan so you have the Sony? If so how does it perform for ya?

[@MTWidowan]

Carlos H I don have SW3, but moto 360 was made ONLY for showing android wear for few days, + i alrdy forgot why sw3 better :D

[@carlosh7166]

SW3 has a GPS and it's water proof

[@JoeNo70]

The moto 360 is definately the best looking. I just don't like that flap section on the bottom of the screen. It just ruins the whole design.

[@sgodsellify]

At 7:38 you stated all three use Bluetooth and NFC for connectivity. Wrong. All three use Bluetooth, but only the Sony Smartwatch 3 has NFC.

[@jcfilms17]

Which is your favorite, personally?

[@VenkateshPattamatta]

A question to the guys who used these smart watches, is there really any difference between the screen display size of moto 360 and LG R watch?

[@brandonstapleton1350]

Which one should i buy ?

[@glenna6286]

gear s2

[@neilljansenvanvuuren9025]

I would go for the sony as the only true stand alone watch that doesn't always nees phone

[@GThu1]

Very helpful video.

[@thenerfguys100]

I don't have an android device so how limited will this make the watch for me?

[@AakarshDureha]

how's the battery life of smartwatch 3? if it's not good, might as well wait for Pebble Time 2

[@mfbrandy8569]

it's about 2 days

[@AakarshDureha]

Thanks buddy!

[@AakarshDureha]

JumpGuy360 I know bro. it was an unpleasant surprise. I am still using Xiaomi Mi band. guess I'll wait till there are smartwatches giving features more than what I would get by simply taking my phone out of my pocket.

[@rajwvilla]

LG R in circle form? thought the more popular was the square face? Prefer the circular face!

[@JT18411]

Great review!

[@KennixThe]

Sony Smartwatch 3 is the only one w/ internal gps (no phone needed)

[@eLJaybud]

Or the Microsoft smart watch which works with iOS, Android and Windows phones.

[@Nick-yg9ql]

should I still buy the Sony 3?

[@malacosjozsi4182]

Yes

[@infernomusic906]

Can we watch photos albums in Sony smart watch 3

[@Jose04537]

A good but not excellent review because you forget a lot of features, thankfully exist the comments 👍

[@tgreenwood75]

I feel like in the beginning he was siding with the moto 360 but as he went on and found that it was the worst in almost every category he changed his mind.

[@puppy3494]

can we see our photos in this smartwatch?

[@geddybear]

which smartwatch can receive calls?

[@guillermozapata4786]

gear s2 3g, or apple watch

[@shiva-thetechnogeek6382]

I have an iPhone which watch should I buy

[@jaymigibbs4746]

Honwstly either Pebble (yes I know it was not in the video) or the apple watch. You should do your research though before you buy.

[@benjaminbee4788]

i would say that i prefer the pebble to the apple watch

[@1337Vert]

why isnt the LG G Watch R in Canada yet? its really annoying I really think that the watch looks amazing and I really want one :/

[@kakaoncrack9841]

I got the smartwatch 3

[@malacosjozsi4182]

Cool. I have also another Sony SW3.

[@myrmeko]

Micro USB on SW3... That means MODDING POSSIBILITIES!!! YAY! Root for the SW3, maybe somebody will even make a custom ROM for them. Like the NULL_ROM. Sorry for repeating nullrom over and over again. But i consider incredible to use normal android with native apk instalation on a watch.

i want the Lg G R but cant find it in CANADA DAMN!

Was it me or did this miss the Sony's GPS and Wifi capabilities that the others don't have?

[@christianruelas3183]

you should do a give away

[@randoman750]

If you want wireless charging on the smartwatch 3 buy a cheap smartphone qi receiver pad

[@samturner3478]

You left the plastic covering on the G Watch R

[@7MSY1]

Woah woah woah did you just say that using micro USB to charge the smartwatch 3 is not as convenient as the way the moto 360 charges on that weird and probably expensive inductive charger? Dude I have a micro USB charger at home, work, and my car. It is definitely the most convenient way to charge.

[@homessameer919]

The sony smartwatch doesn't look pretty but it is convenient just plug in your phone charger

[@MsGirlCharli]

I like the features of sony but I'm not digging the look. It looks crappy & toy-like side by side with LG & Moto.

[@geekinginandout]

is the moto 360 metal

[@gijsschoonaard3994]

+Edsel Malasig yeah it is, looks kind of nice tho

[@myrmeko]

Dont you love that "quade" core. :)) I though Galaxy Gear 1 with NULL_ROM was powerful (1.6ghz dual-core) ... Quad core inside a watch... Yeah... But still you cant run GTA Vice City and Minecraft on SW3 and LG G Watch R.
