Samsung gear looks more promising even with the onscreen keyword and S Voice functionality, its got 3G, bluetooth and Wifi

LG where art though!!
 
Wow, the Moto 360 has only 12 hours of battery life. And that's what the manufacturer is claiming, so in real world battery life would be even less. Pathetic. I was so looking forward to it.

Ranking of current smartwatches IMO:

1. LG G Watch R
2. Asus Zenwatch
3. Samsung Gear S
4. Pebble Steel
5. Sony Smartwach 3
6. Moto 360

The Samsung watches so far have all had pretty shitty battery life. Same for the LG G Watch. I think all these watches are going to be in the "less than a day" of battery life. I am so tempted to buy one but I know I am going to tear my hair trying to charge a third device after the phone and tablet. And it will be worse in the case of the Moto 360 because it is not even a standard micro-usb charger which is pretty easy to borrow from someone in office.
