Clunky and uncomfortable to wear

Expensive

Swiping scheme still a little convoluted
Watch button is superfluous
Software can still be hiccupy
Round screens are still a mixed bag A smaller standard font size and font size options (new in Wear 5.1) make a significant difference compared to the G Watch R
But rectangular text layouts on a circular screen are a difficult pitfall to avoid unless you

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
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
The LG Watch Urbane is the watch you should get if you want a premium looking LG G Watch R. You'll basically be breaking out $349 (£259, AU$459) for a smartwatch you could have for $100 less.Again, there's no doubt that the Urbane is a lovely-looking wear...

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, WiFi, unlike the G Watch R, Water resistant (IP67)
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
Meant to be a more upmarket version of the G Watch R, the Watch Urbane has only slightly evolved in terms of features and performance while failing to meet our expectations concerning the quality of materials. It benefits from the addition of Wi-Fi, which...
There's a lot to like about the LG Watch Urbane with its handy Wi-Fi connectivity and the welcome new version of Android Wear. Since it's essentially the same device as the G Watch R in terms of hardware, your purchase really hinges on the design. It is e...
