LG’s G Watch R, which may be the best looking Android Wear device you can actually buy right now, costs twice as much, but that’s not bad. The round watch originally went for €300/$350, but now you can pick one up in Germany for €199 (with a 4% discount code).
This makes it 15-20% cheaper than the Moto 360, Sony Smartwatch 3 and the new Asus ZenWatch WI500Q, which is going for €229.
Of course, the Apple Watch is coming soon, but in terms of pricing it’s not in the same league. If Android Wear prices keep tumbling, we’re bound to see even cheaper devices, making them truly disposable – if you get a €150 watch and use it for 2-3 years, it really doesn’t matter if the battery goes flat, or if you break/lose it. The same can hardly be said of the Apple Watch, as consumers will have to pay €450 to €750 for Sport and Watch series models respectively.
