The device comes with a 38mm or 42mm touch screen display that has a resolution set at 272x340p.

A 250mAh battery keeps the device going for about 4 hours of talk time.

Moto 360 (2^nd Gen)

Although the Apple Watch is a great looking and performing device, the price tag on it can be very putting off. On the other hand, the Moto 360 (2^nd Gen) is an equally great smartwatch and is priced lower than its competitor. The device looks like what it is meant to look like – a watch. A round 35mm display with a resolution of 360x325p makes the Moto 360 (2^nd Gen) look absolutely stunning. A Snapdragon 400 Quad Core processor that clocks in at 1.2GHz is built into the device. There is a 512MB RAM and a 4GB internal storage capacity. Powered by Android Wear, the Moto 360 (2^nd Gen) brings the latest technology in smartwatches to the user. Powering the device is a 300mAh battery that lasts for more than a day of normal use.

There you have it. The best smartwatches available in the market right now. Even though they might come at a pretty steep price tag, they deliver on every aspect of the latest technology being offered. Apple and Motorola are two of the biggest manufacturers out there and with these devices, they are only readying themselves for greater glory in the near future.
