The Urbane is easily the best LG smartwatch we've laid eyes on, and is currently the best Android Wear smartwatch we've reviewed. It loses a few marks for its build however, as we've been spoilt by the different size choices offered by Apple and Motorola...
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...
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...
Abstract: Smartwatches are hot news again. It might have taken the entry of Apple to the segment to really ramp up the excitement, but there's no question that the release of the Apple Watch has helped raise interest again in Android Wear. LG launching their Urbane...

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...

Round dial, leather strap is standard 22mm size, latest Android Wear 5.1 software
Price is too high, design misses its sophisticated aim, plastic back feels cheap, it's big
The LG Watch Urbane sets the bar high, but misses the mark. It's the most expensive Android Wear device, but not the best quality smartwatch out there. If it was late 2014 then we might feel differently, but the market has moved forward. We also th...

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....
