Trailblazing Smartwatches

The Samsung Gear Live is Samsung's First Android Wear-Based Smartwatch

The Samsung Gear Live is the newest smartwatch from Samsung, and runs on the Android Wear wearable platform. This smartwatch has designs reminiscent of Samsung's previous smartwatch offerings, such as the distinctive bezel curving above and below the screen.

The Samsung Gear Live features a 1.63-inch screen with 320 x 320 resolution. It has an impressive 1.2 Ghz processor, a must to be able to handle the advanced Android Wear platform. As far as the appearance is concerned, the Samsung Gear Live will be made available in black or wine red. The watches' default bands can be swapped out for any standard 22 millimeter strap.

The Samsung Gear Live can be ordered from Google Play for $200.
