The editors liked
Bold look
Decent quality construction
Always-on screen option
Nice build
Fully featured
The battery life of the Urbane isn't ideal
But it's far better than most other Android Wear smartwatches. The design of the wearable is also a head turner
With its classic circular face and simple timepiece feel
The on-board Android 5.1.1 software felt
Good construction
Nice POLED screen (especially indoors)
A slightly more elegant and traditional version of the G Watch R
Decent battery life
But it could still be better

The editors didn't like
Poor heart rate tracker
Chunky and unsubtle design
1.5 day battery life is so-so
Chunky size
Confusing interface
That same elegant design is also a bit irritating on another level – it's far too large. Sure
There are plenty of massive analogue watch faces that we're all used to seeing
But
If a smartwatch is going to be marketed to both men and women
It would be
Might be a bit big for some
Poor quality leather strap
Screen sometimes difficult to read outside
Android Wear still isn't perfectly optimized for round screens
Still no brightness sensor
Chunky
Tacky design
Poor battery life
Limited app functionality
Questionable heart rate sensor
Price is too high
Design misses its sophisticated aim
Plastic back feels cheap
It's big
Android Wear needs work
Very expensive
Big design won't appeal to many wrists

Wi-Fi connectivity spotty at times
Watch is expensive compared to other Android Wear options

Good battery life, Style will suit some, New Android Wear updates, Great display,
Expensive, No GPS for sports, Feels big on smaller wrists, Leather strap feels cheap
The Watch Urbane does a nice job of looking like a traditional wristwatch and it follows the G Watch R in bringing solid performance and battery life to Android Wear. Still, it's expensive now with Android Wear prices tumbling in recent months. And it fal...
Crisp, classic design; fully round, beautiful OLED display; latest Android Wear support; Wi-Fi antenna connects to phone across different Wi-Fi networks; decent battery life (for Android Wear)
Big design won't appeal to many wrists; Android Wear software still doesn't feel all that smooth to use; Wi-Fi connectivity spotty at times; watch is expensive compared to other Android Wear options
The LG Watch Urbane is the best-looking Android Wear smartwatch and adds Wi-Fi-to-phone connectivity, but it doesn't offer all that much more than previous Android Wear watch models....

Abstract: For the iPhone user, the Apple Watch is the obvious choice of smartwatch. But it isn't the only choice - or at least it won't be, once Android Wear watches are at least partially compatible with iOS devices. So we decided to compare the LG Watch Urbane wi...
Abstract: 2015 is the year of the iWatch but Apple has some competition in the smartwatch market and LG is one manufacturer it has to tackle. See how their latest devices stack up in our Apple Watch vs LG Watch Urbane . comparison preview. Read : The best smartwatc...
If this is LG's attempt to smarten up its Android Wear approach, I'm not all that impressed. I didn't think there was much wrong with the G Watch R, even if it was a little more sporty but the Urbane's attempt to create something more elegant sadly doesn...
