Moto 360 vs Samsung Gear S2 vs Apple Watch which one is your choice?

It's the season of smartwatches - let the battle begin!

With Android Wear now compatible with iOS-powered gadgets (read: Apple), there's more reason to venture into the world of smartwatches, even owning more than one. The newly released Moto 360 is one of those options elbowing for serious attention, along with Samsung's Gear S2 and the Apple Watch. Which one deserves your vote?
"Motorola has two different sizes available for this year's Moto 360. There's a 42mm version which is the same as Apple's largest offering and a slightly bigger 46mm version for those who prefer chunkier watches,"9to5Mac described.
"Each model packs a 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor, 4GB of storage, and 512MB of RAM," the site added. "On the 42mm version there's a 1.37-inch display with a 360×325 resolution, while the 46mm features a 1.56-inch display coming in at 360×330."
"In comparison, the 42mm Apple Watch's 1.5-inch OLED display has a slightly higher pixel density with its 312×390 resolution," 9to5Mac pointed out.
The Gear S2 has "a resolution of 360x360 with a pixel density of 302 pixels per inch" and "runs on a dual-core, 1 GHz clock," according to Tech Times.
Looks like Apple wins in the resolution game with 326 ppi.
"It has 4 GB of locker space and 512 GB of Ram," the site added. "It also has the requisite accelerometer, an ambient light sensor, a barometer, a gyroscope and heart rate sensors."
On the other hand, the Moto 360 (2015) can be customized via the Moto Maker design studio. You can pick the color, material, bezels, or bands for your very own smartwatch. It's also water-resistant, along with the Apple Watch and the Gear S2. However, unlike the first two devices, Samsung's smartwatch models do not run Android Wear as it operates on Tizen OS. However, it will "run on non-Samsung Android phones with 4.4 KitKat and 1.56GB of RAM," according to Digital trend
Between the Gear S2 and the Moto 360 (2015), both of which have specs pretty much on par with each other, those who won't mind non-iOS compatibility may do well with the former. However, if you're particular about cost, the Motorola model may be the more feasible option for you as it's been speculated to be less expensive than the Samsung model.

However, compared to Apple Watch, the S2, though pretty much one of the "best-built and designed" non-Apple device, is not quite on par with the Apple Watch.
"Something about the Apple Watch made it feel a bit more 'premium' in hand and on wrist," Android Central said. "It might just be the weight of the Apple Watch, our 42mm stainless steel version clocks in at 50 grams, while the Gear S2 Classic is a relatively lighter 42 grams."
"When it comes to software quality and performance, the Gear S2 matches the Apple Watch in our estimation," it added. "It was blazingly fast and responsive, the navigation was generally clear, discoverable, and sensible."
With that, the deciding factor would be personal preference, particularly in cost and choice of mobile OS. Which one would you pick?
