              LG G Watch vs Samsung Gear Live - User Opinions

                The display on the LG G Watch is a 1.65-inch, 280 x 280 IPS LCD one, with a 240 pixel per inch count. That's not as strong as the Gear Live, which boasts a 320 x 320, 1.63-inch, Super AMOLED display with a ppi count of 278. One thing the G Watch does win on though is the number of watch faces to choose from.Oct 21, 2014
