Android Wear and Pebble are, arguably, the smartwatch ecosystems we all should be paying attention to. Josh has been using them for a little while now and has some thoughts regarding both, in hardware and in usage.

I've had an LG G Watch for about a year now, and I really like it! but I'm thinking of switching to Pebble, since its a lot cheaper now, and I think I'd prefer a more tactile control scheme; I have fat fingers and I constantly hit the wrong button in Wear :/ has anyone here tried both?
hi, can you tall me please where did you buy that pebble's band at the end of the video? the biggest one, a bracelet simile. I really want it, and i'll wait for your answer ok? anyway great video!
Does the pebble has a hearth rate thingy? And a sleep tracker?
If not what don you recommend?
The amount of children picking the Android Wear over the more functional Pebble because it's touchscreen is TOO DAMN HIGH
Craig David – Rise and fall!!!!….. awesomeness!
There is no competition. Android wear wins

Yes the battery life is not as good with Android Wear (Android Wear devices have a better screen)
There are already over 300 Android Wear apps and the are not all tied to your phone apps? The video makes it sounds like there are only a few Android Wear apps, now many of the Android Wear specific apps are not that great and most install first on your phone then syncs to the watch. Why do more people own Android phones over the iPhone? Because Android has more hardware manufacturers and more choices. The same will have with Android Wear devices, Samsung, LG, and Motorola are on board and more are coming.
I like the both
People who pick the pebble for solely for its battery life should also pick a flip phone over a smartphone for the same reason.
There's no comparison here, android wear has far more functionality than the pebble.
I'm tired of comparison videos (like dogfights) where one of the items is the actual winner. Tell us which one you prefer!

@Android Authority I like the band on the pebble watch @ 2:05..& i like face of lg g watch…where can i get the band thats on the pebble watch @2:05?
Nice video….
i cant decide…=.=
surely there are apps by now, for example a music player, which utilise gestures to perform actions as opposed to needing to scroll between screens? I've often used rocket player for playing music whilst driving because the lock screen simply requires a swipe of the screen to change songs instead of aiming for smaller onscreen buttons. Surely it would be simple to scale that to the size of a watch face.
Always love your reviews Josh! I recently accidentally bought a Pebble and I haven't gotten around to playing with it.

Though I would much rather have Android wear, Pebble steel's look and battery life would win it for me.
Hey man You have cool glasses !
I love this fast talking and the big amount of information =) And the chilled background music rocks!ÂÂ
Great comparison but the only thing you left out is Pebble is mature and Android Wear is in it's infancy. If an infancy product is on a level playing field as a mature one then there can only be 1 winner
I have too much money. I must buy a smart watch now.
