Android Ware × LG Watch
The G Watch is insignificant. The shape plans to bring Android Wear up front. "The substance skims." The absence of switches, catches and outskirts is all purposeful. "An absence of ornamentation," is the means by which Chul Bae Lee, VP of portable configuration put it to us when clarifying the organization's wearable. Anyway it didn't begin that way. Lee signals at a delicate sheet where there are approximately 10 models of differing shapes and profiles. It's the "What If..." of LG wearable outline, but since these plans are still in LG's aggregate cerebrum for conceivable future utilization, we're not permitted to take photographs.
We pore over the early models, which are manufactured and machine-completed to would appear that the genuine article. They deliberately have a slight weight to them, regardless of the possibility that there are no gadgets inside. One has a brushed-steel complete along a thick base bezel, while some shaking LG marking in the corner made an alternate resemble a modest wrist-mounted rendition of the organization's Tvs. A few models pack scene screens, while an alternate, with its bended sides and delicate vertices, veers near Samsung's Gear 2, or Neo... alternately Live.
The G Watch has two essential peculiarities: charges and warnings - and not, Lee details, collaboration. This, as it were, clarifies the absence of catches (or Polaroids), and in addition the incorporation of a touchscreen that, while open, absolutely does do to the extent that your cell phone. "Summons" is an intriguing approach to put it as well, on the grounds that the essential method for getting data from the G Watch is by yelping requests at it.
CIRCLES AND SQUARES
The greatest contrast between the LG G Watch and Motorola's 360 is their appearances. LG's item tries for the smartwatch staple, a square LCD, in a plan to expand usable screen space, while Motorola's decided to show Google's most recent extend on a round screen. Lee says. "A round face? Actually, we like it, however it'll prompt a more established watch encounter." The executive wouldn't concede that his organization would be bringing out a comparably formed timepiece, yet let us know that LG is attempting an entire heap of things - and it most likely aides when you have a presentation making friendly organization.
Android Ware × Google I/O × Google Smartwatch × Moto 360
Commentary: Google has unleashed its smartwatch and wearables platform on the world. But is the world ready? More importantly, does it even care?

The Moto 360 could be the most anticipated Android Wear smartwatch... that most people don't know about |
At Google I/O on Wednesday, the company finally launched Android Wear, its new wearables and smartwatch software platform, and announced the availability of the first Android Wear smartwatches from LG and Samsung. Glass-wearing Googlers cheered in San Francisco's Moscone Center, and the tech press live-blogged, tweeted, and Instagrammed the heck out of the proceedings. We'll surely be writing about the day's reveals for the rest of the week, at least.
And yet, when I check my Facebook feed and limit it to the couple hundred real-world contacts that live within the Santa Fe-Taos, N.M. area -- you know, actual friends and acquaintances I've at least shaken hands with -- there's not a single mention of Android Wear or Google I/O.
While we in the tech media are all losing our minds, the vast majority of Americans who not only don't own a Tesla or Google Glass, but don't even know anyone who does, well... they couldn't care less.
Like many Crave readers, I'm an early adopter. I've tried out a few of the early wearables, both fitness trackers and smartwatches. It feels pretty inevitable to me that they're the next big thing, and Android Wear is the first bit of gravitas and integration with a major operating system that the concept needed to trickle into the mainstream.
Then again, a lot more people used to feel the same way about virtual reality... over 20 years ago.
The staggering majority of people who have noticed me wearing a smartwatch or fitness tracker over the past six or so months have not only expressed no curiosity about the devices but typically mocked me. It's all in good fun, of course. I'm not saying I've got problems getting ribbed by my friends, but they tend to playfully ask me when I plan to become a full cyborg, or have "those Google Glasses" drilled into my skull.
