IFA 2014: Which smartwatch did you like the most?

At the IFA 2014 event which was held in Berlin, all the big name brands including Samsung, Motorola, Sony, LG and Asus have announced their smartwatches. HTC was the only known brand who did not have a smartwatch to show off during the event. Here is a technical specification comparison of Samsung Gear S, Motorola Moto 360, Sony Smartwatch 3, LG G Watch R and Asus ZenWatch which were announced last week.

Display & Appearance

Except the Smartwatch 3 which has a washed out display, all the other smartwatches have screens with satisfying performance. The Samsung Gear S has the best display overall, thanks to its Super AMOLED panel but I do admit that circular display is a thing now, especially after Motorola Moto 360 was unveiled. In that sense, LG is the only one to offer a completely circular display which is also the sharpest of the bunch. Sony and Motorola are the only ones who are using LCD displays in their smartwatches.

Moto 360, G Watch R and ZenWatch also have standard straps which can be changes according to your choice. Although it is a subjective matter, I can definitely say that the Moto 360 and the LG G Watch R one of the best looking smartwatches.

Internal Hardware

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor seems to be the popular choice here which is being used in Sony Smartwatch 3, LG G Watch R and Asus ZenWatch, though Samsung is using their own dual-core processor. Out of nowhere, Motorola has decided to use the TI OMAP 3 processor. Almost all of these smartwatches are water and dust resistant.
