New Sony Smartwatch 2 V/S Samsung Galaxy Gear

               To compete with Samsung Sony launches its brand new SmartWatch 2

Sony's new SmartWatch 2 doesn't let you make phone calls directly through the wristwatch. And  You can answer calls using the watch, but unlike the Gear you need a Bluetooth wireless headset linked to the phone if you don't want to hold it to your ear. But the device is cheaper and compatible with a broader range of phones.

It's cheaper and compatible with a broader range of phones. The Gear costs $300 and currently works only with the company's Galaxy Note 3 phone where as the cost of Sony Smartwatch 2 is $200.

SmartWatch 2 is designed to complement a phone -- specifically those running Android 4.0 or later. Sony promises three to four days of battery life between charges, compared with about a day for the Gear. The display measures 1.6 inches (4 centimeters) diagonally, the same as the Gear.
