IFA 2013 which held in Berlin, Germany bring some exciting new electronic gadgets in our world. Most of the people are talking about new smart phones like Galaxy Note 3, Xperia Z1, Iphone 5S & iPhone 5C. But one another news was not much noticed that both Samsung & Sony launched wrist watch which is really exciting gadgets called Galaxy Gear & Smart Watch 2 respectively.
Design
First of all if you look at the basic dimensions and size, you will notice that Galaxy Gear is more rectangular, and Smart Watch 2 is square shaped gadget. Gear is weighted 74 gram and Smart Watch 2 is having 123 gram with a metal strip. Both gadgets are made from metals. Smart Watch 2 having an aluminium body whereas Gear have a stainless steel body.
Display & Processor
Both gadgets come with a 1.6 inch display. Gear having a 1.63'' inch Super EMOLED display with a resolution of 320 x 320 pixels and 278 ppi density. Smart Watch 2 having 1.6 inch Transreflective display with 220 x 176 pixels and 176 ppi density. This means that Gear has much sharper and bright display very close to latest smartphones.
I believe that processing power is not much important in these type of wrist watches. But if you are really looking for high power then Gear have 800 MHz Samsung Exynos processor while Smart Watch 2 have ARM cortex M3 processor with 200 MHz.
Battery Life
This is the department in which Smart Watch 2 over shadows its rival by a huge margin & for wrist watches this is the key factor. Gear having 25 hour plus batter life which is really bad for a gadget like this. Wheres Smart Watch 2 having 3-4 days of batter life as per company said. Thanks to its just 200 Mhz processor and display which improves its battery performance. So if batter life matters for you then you definitely have to go for Smart Watch 2.
Other Aspects
Gear having a facility to answer your phone call. Which is not available in Smart Watch 2. But one horror fact is that it is just compatible with Galaxy Note 3, which is not released in all the markets yet. On other side Smart Watch 2 is compatible with all Android powered smart phones and provide notification related your phone. Both gadgets are not compatible with any of the iPhone.
Gear have a 1.9 MP camera which is fitted on its wrist band whereas Smart Watch does not feature any camera.
Smart Watch 2 is NFC facilitate & Gear does not have this facility.

Both gadgets are plan to release in closing of September this year.
