The editors didn't like
Clunky and uncomfortable to wear
Tacky cheap-feeling leather band
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

I was really looking forward to trying out the LG Watch Urbane, as it seemed to me to be the first smartwatch that had truly taken fashion considerations into account. Based on this, the company has made some clear and distinctive design choices which I...

Still, it's just possible that the style of the LG Watch Urbane will appeal to you, and if that's the case it now represents a much better deal than it did when it first launched. The price has recently dropped to £187 inc VAT, which is more representativ...

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...
