As the latest news disclosed by Apple it was revealed that their smart watch will be arriving at customer’s doorsteps this month and what timing by LG to announce the arrival of their first Android smart wear. LG announced that their LG Watch Urbane will soon be available this month.
The watch made by LG is far more fashionable than the South Korean company’s G watch R. When compared to the Huawei’s android wear, people will prefer the LG Urbane watch because of its sleek look and slim design. Here we will have a little comparison between the LG Urbane and the Apple watch.
The choice of purchase totally rests in the hands of customer; it mainly depends on what type of phone you are using. If you own an Android phone you will obviously buy the LG Urbane smart watch and if you have an iPhone you will go for the stylish Apple watch.
There are many changes made by LG this time, because the previous versions of Android watches lack at many places when compared to the top notch Apple watches. LG has improved the Wi-Fi connectivity which was not very impressive in the prior versions; the Apple watch commences the Wi-Fi connectivity. Another noticeable change in the Android wear is that you can make selection of apps which you want running in the background.This feature is quite useful and when you lower your wrist, the screen turns black and white saving some battery power.
Android comes with unique one hand use, you can scroll through the screen by twisting your wrist, while Apple watch is completely two hand affair and there is no doubt that Apple will introduce one hand control in its upcoming updates. To make some changes you require launcher program for Android which is already present on the store, you can choose health tracking application on your own.
The designs of both devices are different, LG is dress-watch and the Apple watch looks like a gadget square in shape. Gyro meter and accelerometer are present in both the watches which make them measure your steps, battery of Apple watch is likely to last for almost 18 hours.
LG states about the pricing of Urbane “LG has confirmed Korean pricing for the Watch Urbane is ₩396,000, which converts to roughly $365 (US). You can probably expect it for less than that when it arrives in other countries, though - Korean prices for the original G Watch R were also substantially higher than US retail when converted to dollars. Perhaps the Watch Urbane will cost the same $300 as its predecessor after all.”
Android gives more flexibility as compared to the Apple watch but the final verdict is difficult to make.
