you look at it in the car at the office and even in the bathroom with wearable popularity in all-time high smartwatches are very quickly becoming an important part of our daily routine constantly feeding us notifications and reminding us that we're late for meetings what's going on guys is a märklin segun from TechnoBuffalo and now that Android wear is available in the market Google is promising us a very exciting wearable future with google now integration and the ability to control everything with only your voice sending messages and setting reminders has never been so convenient and with the proper app support you'll be able to do even more down the road right from your wrist but these devices still need to overcome one major hurdle the Sun when outdoors devices like the G watch and gear live are pretty much useless because they're nearly impossible to see under bright light and that's not a criticism to Android wear but if the early hardware we've seen so far I've been using the g watch for about two weeks now and I've noticed that trying to read notifications or even the time while outside is very hard to do John notice the same thing using a year live that essentially strips away all the utility making these devices nothing more than a boring inexpensive fashion accessory the G watch uses an IPS display with a very reflective glass and even a max brightness you can barely see anything over the fourth of July holiday I remember sitting by the beach and getting a notification instead of reaching for my phone I looked at my wrist but it was really really hard to see what it said I just ended up using my phone instead the LG G watch and Samsung gear lie both have a beautiful one point six or so inch screens a G watch has an IPS LCD touchscreen display with a resolution to 280 x 2 80 while the gear live comes equipped with a Super AMOLED touchscreen display with a resolution of 320 x 320 they both look pretty great on your wrist under the right conditions but not being able to see the screen in broad daylight can be a huge deal to some you can't mention smartwatches without mentioning pebble a device like the pebble steel uses an e-paper LCD display so it's visible in all lighting conditions you may not get a beautiful color display like the G watch or gear live but nonetheless the pebble screen has its benefits it does what it's supposed to do tells you the time feeds your notifications it reminds you of upcoming events even in the middle of the day you can read your notifications just fine Android wear device to show a lot of potential but they'll need to overcome these hardware issues before they have a chance of finding a home on an average consumers wrist you can see finding new restaurants at the office or when you're home at night but for someone who spends time outdoors these early Android wear devices probably aren't for you we're hopeful for something like the Moto 360 will do better but we're not holding our breath we're still testing these two out before a final review but we thought we'd share some of our thoughts at a hardware so what do you guys think of the early Android wear devices do these issues prevent you from buying one let us know in the comments down below I'm marklin saying it from TechnoBuffalo and I'll see you guys in the next video thank you guys for watching please subscribe right here to be the first one to know whenever new videos get uploaded we got a ton of stuff we do phones tablets cars anything has to do a consumer electronics that's be plugged in or uses batteries we review
