Gear S or LG Watch Urbane? Probably the two best smartwatches out this year are these two bad boys from Samsung and LG and you probably couldn’t go wrong with either of them. But which one is the right one for you? Let’s find out!
Last October I bought my Gear S smartwatch in South Korea within a few days of its release. I’ve swore this watch really set the bar high on the smartwatch world with its curved 2-inch AMOLED screen with a whopping resolution of 360×480. That sounds small but for a small device like a watch, it gives you that pixel-free life-like display that’s going to beat any other smartwatches on the market. Compare that to LG Urbane’s measly 320×320 resolution and Apple Watch’s 270×340. Sometimes, Samsung does the display right and this time they killed it months (or maybe years) before their competition.
And probably the coolest feature on the Gear S is that it comes with a giant screen that doesn’t look so giant on your wrist since it has a curved screen. Anyway you look at it, this is a glimpse of the future smartwatches and Samsung has brought it to you couple years early. Not only that, the Gear S allows you to get full 3G HSPA data along with voice calls so you can be a Dick… Tracy of 2015.
Okay, that’s great but what about the LG Urbane?
I bought the Watch Urbane 2 months ago as soon as it came out and LG Urbane sets a new high standard for how smartwatches should be made. With the world’s first true 360-degree screen, the LG Urbane gives you a traditional watch look with smartwatch features and latest Android 5.1.1. Besides that, it uses standard 22mm watch bands so you can easily swap them out for your favorite bands. And did we mention you can pair with any Android smartphone while the Gear S requires you to use Samsung smartphones only? With an option of silver or gold stainless steel, the LG Urbane brings you the latest Android Wear technology onto sleek hardware, you cannot go wrong with that.
So, you are excited about both watches like myself, but which one should you buy?
First, if you don’t have a Samsung smartphone, you probably want to go with the LG Urbane. Gear S runs Tizen, which means you will be locked down to Samsung apps only. This is one thing that hurts Samsung and they are doing it to lock their customers into Samsung phones. I think it’s evil and they should really be using Android Wear OS so people can use it with any smartphone and also enjoy the apps they buy on any future Android Wear watches they buy.
