New Delhi: Samsung's first Android Wear smartwatch, which was earlier listed as "coming soon" on the Google India Play Store, is now up for pre-order on Play Store at Rs 15,900. Customers can pre-book a smartwatch, but it won't be shipped before July 18.
This dust and water-resistant smartwatch has a 1.63-inch Super AMOLED (320 x 320) display, and is powered by a 1.2 GHz processor. The Gear Live can be paired with any Android device running Android 4.3 or higher.
Out of the box, the Gear Live looks much like the Gear 2. But once you turn it on, it stays on. The watch face doesn't go dark as the one on the Gear 2 does after inactivity.
The Gear Live doesn't have as many fitness features. You can count steps and measure heart rate, but you can't measure distance or calories with built-in apps.
In addition, there's no camera or speakerphone. To make calls, you need a Bluetooth headset paired to your phone.
Because the Gear Live and the G Watch both use Android Wear, they have similar functionality. You control both mostly by voice. There aren't many icons or buttons on the screen, as you'd find on previous smartwatches.
You do have to get used to swiping left (for more information) or right (to dismiss a notification). But otherwise, the interface is clean and simple.
Currently, the Samsung Gear Live is available in Black.
