What Android Wear does differently: Splits text messages up if you get them from different people and you can see the last 10 or so from each conversation; Navigation can all be done from the wrist with turn by turn and a map view of traffic displaying on the watch and will vibrate differently depending on the turn; you can choose pre set watch faces or a watch face with a background of your choosing; battery doesn't really last any longer than 2 days, I've gotten it to go 3 before but that's rare (wireless charging makes this much less of a hassle though). This is from my experience with the Moto 360 and when I'm using it I really don't have to take my phone out. I don't see any reason to have anything besides Android Wear, especially when they're constantly updating it.
