What Android Wear does?
Android Wear is intended to provide "information that moves with you" and puts the entire world inches from your suddenly-free fingertips.
It doesn't just tell the time. The wearable operating system makes suggestions based on time and it factors location into its context-sensitive data.
The best everyday habit example involves riding on a bus and seeing a Google Maps-powered notification countdown to an unfamiliar destination. "4 stops t Jackson St." intelligently reads the watch. The scary guessing game is taken out of a public transit commute.

First and foremost, a watch needs to give you the time. Fortunately, Android Wear does that just fine. The two watches we've tested default to an always-on mode with a black background and white text for the watch face.
You can select from multiple watch faces by holding down your finger on the home screen. The Gear Live has about a dozen and none of them are great, but the G Watch has over 20 and some are really stylish. Unfortunately, Android Wear doesn't allow developers to create custom watch faces yet, though Google tells me that will come in time.
Google being Google, there are some other features added on that rely on the company's traditional strengths. You will get Google Now cards in addition to your notifications, showing you things like the weather and upcoming flights. There's also robust voice control, allowing you to do everything from searching to texting to setting timers. Some watches have fitness features too — both the G Watch and the Gear Live have a step counter and the Gear Live also has a heart-rate monitor.Google's take on the smart watch isn't too different from what the people behind the Pebble figured out last year: it should be all about notifications. At its core, Android Wear is a little remote for your Android phone's notification shade. Everything that appears there also appears on your watch, and when you dismiss notifications on the watch they also disappear on the phone.
Microsoft Smart Watch does....
Microsoft has launched its first fitness tracker, but it's much more than that. The $200 Microsoft Band has everything you'd expect — including sensors to continuously track steps, calories and heart rate — but it adds guided workouts from popular brands and the ability to receive smartphone notifications. It also connects to Microsoft Health, the company's cross-platform cloud service designed to give users personalized fitness advice based on the Band's data. Plus, unlike competing products in this price range, the Band has GPS built in.
Design
The Microsoft Band looks and feels like a first-generation device. It's an odd shape — a sort of rectangle with curved sides. On the top is a flat and rigid 0.43 x 1.30-inch display with a power button and the action button on one side. Unlike the Samsung Gear Fit, whose screen has a similar shape, the Band's screen does not curve to naturally cover your wrist. This adds to the overall bulkiness and awkwardness of the band's design.
Setup
One of the best things about the Microsoft Band is that it's a cross-platform device. Currently, it supports Bluetooth devices running iOS 7.1 and 8; Android 4.3 to 4.4; and Windows Phone 8.1.To begin setting up the Band, you just download the Microsoft Health app. Make sure the Band is turned on and is ready to be paired with the device, and then go into the app. You'll be asked to select your Microsoft Band from the list of nearby devices under Bluetooth in order to pair it with the app. The setup is quick; the Band synced with the app in about 2 seconds.
Display
The Microsoft Band's 1.3 x 0.43-inch, 320 x 106-pixel TFT LCD touch display is bright and easy to read. The home screen shows the time and your step count, and swiping to the left reveals individual tiles for things such as messages, emails, calls, exercises and alarms. You can add, remove and further customize which tiles appear on your Band, and even the color and wallpaper of the display.
Overall, the touch screen was responsive and quick. However, swiping to the left felt choppier than swiping to the right. Make sure to turn on Watch Mode in Settings, as this keeps the date and time on the screen at a dimmed brightness; the Band doesn't come with it turned on out of the box. Microsoft says that, in the future, the display will turn on automatically when you lift your wrist to check the time.
The Band guides you through the workout with its display. Once you begin the routine, the Band will count down each rep for you as you do it. In between sets are a few seconds of rest, during which time the display shows you what you'll be doing next.
Both have uniqueness and featured uses,let u you decide ,which being u comfortable!
