Honorable Mention: ASUS ZenWatch
While only receiving 6% of the total vote, the ASUS ZenWatch has been named the third-best smartwatch of 2014.

Runner-up: LG G Watch R
Another recent Android Wear release comes in at number two with 11% of the vote. The LG G Watch R features a fully circular OLED display and a design that marries the modern tech of the smartwatch with the analog presentation of yesteryear. With strong battery life and fully capable hardware, the G Watch R might have made a run for first place had it only launched a bit earlier in the year.

And the winner is: Motorola Moto 360
Motorola’s Moto 360 was among the first batch of Android Wear devices announced, but it stood out as a circular design amid a field of square competitors. Hype led to sellouts as soon as the smartwatch launched, and users have been more than pleased with the end product leading to an overwhelming 51% of the total vote (the highest of any category in our Readers’ Choice poll).
