what's up everyone John Brenton TechnoBuffalo here the LGG watch isn't the only Android wear device in town I've got Samsung's offering this is the Samsung gear live no Tizen no Android OS to be found here it is running Android and Google's own Android wear OS which is Google now on your wrist go ahead open up see what it's all about all right so here is the box for the Samsung gear live looking like the rest of the modern generation Samsung boxes what's where that fake wood finish sitting over cardboard so Samsung gear all over it some specs on the back that I know it's Super AMOLED the rest of that stuff but I will run through all the specs with you let me take my unboxing scissors they cut the seal and let's dig in and see what the Samsung gear live is all about so I saw this unveiled at Google i/o about two weeks ago and I can't wait impressed so there it is sitting plastic right on top almost identical boxing to what we saw with the gear 2 what else are we going to have inside we've got looks to be just a painfully annoying a little charging guy this is what we saw a very similar again with gear 2 a little piece of plastic the watch just sits in it and you plug in the microUSB right there and it kind of doesn't really sit firmly on the table so that is familiar we've got also a wall warts connected to a micro USB but if you have a 9 micro another micro USB port you'll be good to go presumably in this modern-day you have ones SP pair with an Android device 4.3 or higher so that device probably has a micro USB cord laying around so here the specs on the Samsung gear live it's got a 1.6 3 Super AMOLED display that's 320 by 320 being powered by Android wear it's got a 1.2 here it's processor under the hood alright so Google services you'd expect we will now voice Maps Navigation clouds and hangouts this one does have a heart rate monitor and go ahead and show you that built in but it's gonna only work when you have the app open and supposed to only work when you're resting so see how effective that actually is going to be ip67 dust and water ease which is nice so you're not gonna worry about getting it from damaged it does have changeable straps to standard a millimeter size so if you don't like the strap on here you go ahead and customize that any way you choose available in black and wine red stop bluetooth 4.0 accelerometer gyroscope compass in the heart rate monitor 512 megabytes of RAM four gigs of internal storage and powering it is a 300 million power battery which is 100 milliamp hours less don't we see with the LG G watch I thought that's gonna matter has yet to be seen again available from Google Play Store and Samsung and other retail outlets for 199 dollars this guy though has a button which should make powering it on marketable easier so let me go and get this guy all set up and paired to my Nexus 5 and we'll take a quick look and to the UI as we got this guy all paired up and ready to go and I am already thankful that it's got a button on the side so here is the gear live and what it looks like it looked just like a regular watch it's all ready for me to talk but I'm not ready to talk to it quite yet let's hit that home button looks like a regular analog watch if you tap it though you get sort of those gears that show up if you want to see the rest of Samsung's watch faces if you long press you can see you've got dark analog pick up your photos in there it's sort of the rests or the I think look typical SmartWatch style but they have some neat ones in here every manufacturer has their own you can sort of just walk through and find one that works of course you can download way more but the dark analog I think at least for me is my favorite so alright it tells time what else does it do does a lot of other stuff so for example if I double tap you can go ahead and see what you can do take a note to drink water remind me to do stuff you can show my steps my heart rate monitor send a text email you free on Friday agenda for today navigation you can set the timer if you want set stopwatch and the rest of that stuff go ahead and see other stuff there you've got a little keep in the apps that you've got installed go ahead and go home alright let's go ahead and try one and set it with double tap okay Google set timer for 30 minutes please and I don't want that to go off but it would if I wanted it to and essentially it's just google not write on your phone so if you get emails if you get text for example bills show up right can you can sort of swept through the cards to see how they work so I should get a text here in just a second as an example I'll show you what that's gonna look like so there it is from Ron Prieta so you've got different actions here I could flip it to the right to get rid of it or you get action if you swipe to the left so I can reply like you swiping I can mark it as read I can call Ron if I go ahead and go to reply we'll go ahead and do that it'll open up the app on my phone and then I can reply directly to Ron from the device so you can't at least as of now type stuff out on here before responses supposedly though you can use voice to send responses but really we haven't seen anything yet there are a ton of app server they all - a ton I mean like 25 but more will supposedly be coming very soon that's for the big ones here like lift so you can call a car answer the Google stalwarts like maps and hangouts and of course Android wear and some other airline stuff are their design way so it looks very similar to the other Samsung Smart Watch let me bring in the gear - here for example you're sort of close your eyes real fast hard to tell the difference between the two of them then sort of the physical home button will they tell they are from the same family of course the gear cues got the camera and the actual home button the back so look pretty identical you can see the heart rate monitors built-in if I can get that for you can see they look almost exactly the same there we go I look almost identical already been infuriating though as the band here on the gear live got those two things you got to sort of put on your wrist and with one hand to try and make them buckle to find one that works for chily though the bands are removable you can put on whatever the heck you want for just for a fun comparison let's bring in the LG do you watch you can see sort of these two next to each other side by side you sort of see that so a more curved approach here to the Samsung LG took more of a slate approach you know different strokes different folks of course we'll do a full review of both of these devices and of course they for review as well of the new operating system and see what it's got to do and how it works and rest of stuff Android wear can possibly do for it together you want to see bleep in the comments down below so next time I'm John Ranger from TechnoBuffalo see you guys next
