Verizon Wear24 hands-on!

2017-05-13
hey guys it's John biere with Android authorities so I'm checking out do my first hands almost at the Verizon where 24 this is the Android wear 2.0 watch announced by the carrier it's available today it's LTE connected and you can pick it up forward to your contract of $300 or if you want to go full price and not worry about a contract it's 350 now check it out for the first time it really reminds me of the original Huawei watch but slightly chunkier it's very similar in terms of design because it has that neutral premium look it has an all metal chassis of round-faced style and like I said it has a lot of similarities with the design language of the original water watch however with the wear 24 it doesn't offer swamp full band because the LTE layers are actually incorporated into the band itself so instead you have three different color options you have stainless steel gunmetal and rose gold so for the most part I kind of like the design its variable even with its thickness and all it also has chokes the balance between casual and formal attire so you could wear with pretty much anything it also features an ip67 weighting so in the event you forget to take it off in the shower you don't have to worry because it's going to be protected the one thing that's missing here is a heart rate sensor so if you're big into workouts or exercising that might be a deal-breaker for you even checking out to the we're 24 outdoors here with a lot of Sun the display itself is pretty readable the 1.3 9 inch 400 by 400 my display looks nice and sharp you get good colors and like I said it's impressive for its clarity and outdoor visibility now the only concern I have with the displays that it's it's almost flushed to the bezel unlike some other smart watches that have the display a little bit recessed just protected from scratching against surfaces in terms of the experience it really doesn't differ from any other Android wear 2.0 watch out there like the while we watch 2 or the LG watch board it has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 2100 processor it seems to do nice very smooth and responsive it does offer a GPS only difference with the software though is that it comes preloaded with certain watch bases that are GPS based so for example you have one watch base you could set so if you're at home you'll have some shortcuts on the watch face for things like social networking and text messaging and conversely if you're at work you'll have shortcuts for things like email ultimately though if the price is right for you it's going to mortally hinge on a person's design preference to be a deciding factor so if you guys one learn more about the Verizon wear 24 you could check out our website Android Authority comm this is John V signing off
