All the Smartwatches mentioned above have their own specialities and disadvantages. Everyone will have different needs and every watch fulfills different needs. If you need a powerful and work oriented watch go for Samsung or Lg, whereas Sony fulfills the want for a good looking and sleek watch. If you are a little tight on budget Asus offers a good smartwatch which does not burns a hole in your pocket, but if you are a brand buff and don't mind spending hefty money on a tech watch go for Apple and you won't be disappointed. All we can say is that there are a lot more of these watches coming into the market which will start a war much like smartphones and the price will fall, therefore those who wait might land up getting a better Smarthwatch at a lower price in another 6 months or so.
