LG Watch Urbane - LG Watch Urbane

LG plans to release this year a new Smartwatch after they are saying is a two colours variant and very stylish. The new LG device will be launched at MWC and will have almost the same configuration as LG Watch R has it! The new model is called LG Watch Urbane.

It's progress, but still not impressed.

i'd rather see a new version of the 360
there is already an Urban(e) forum by the way

Although it looks good, the design limits its functionality. Moto 360 is still more attractive, in my opinion.

Can you explain what you mean when you say the design limits its functionality?

Moto 360 follow the classic watch line as design, the LG urbane is a little bit different

I personally think it looks beautiful. I am eager to see the next 360 also but I really dig this watch

Good Watch
I want to buy

The Moto 360 has a great disadvantage: because it dosent have an amoled screen it dosent last a full day when always on (ambient mode).

Urbane LTE

ISN'T it just a flashier LG Gwatch? Internals are same, no?
thanks,

Yes, exactly the same internals as the LG Watch R

What I would like is an LG Watch R (the same looks) but with LTE. Somehow the Urbane looks do not wow me but of course its all a matter of opinion. Just like to me the 360 looks better on pics than in real life (and of course the flat tire which for me, its a HUGE deal breaker).

sorry, I saw your response earlier but forgot to reply to it... until now
Well, the watch looks, in my opinion, like jewelry. Nothing bad here in terms of design, however I would not wear it with any type of clothing. I don't see myself playing basketball or running while wearing this watch. Instead, I would use it at certain evens, it should look great with a suit or something semi-formal. It may be an exaggeration on my part, but I thing it is of extremely poor taste to wear jewelry with a sweater, which is why I used to have two watches(a "sport" watch and a more classy one) which I wore depending on the circumstances. Nowadays, on the other hand, I only wear my Sony Smartwatch 2(I switch between a leather bracelet and the stock silicone one depending on the type of activity I am doing), which seems to have the best of both worlds. The way I see it, a smartwatch should be the only watch a person uses if one choses to own one and this can only be achieved if it can be worn regardless of the event, weather conditions, activity and clothing.
Leaving aside the "fashion" argument, LG G watch Urbane is smaller than Moto 360 and the bezel is thicker, which makes it less comfortable to use. Basically, LG tried to make it look as close as possible to a regular watch. While it did a good job integrating "smart" functions while preserving the traditional aspect of a watch, I feel that the direction which Motorola took makes for a better user experience.
Nevertheless, the LG G watch is a very good looking smart watch.

I fist wanted to buy 360 but gave up after trying it on my wrist, it looks like putting a clock with strap on my wrist! And I ended up buying the Asus Zenwatch.

I have the Moto 360 and wished I could use some simple and classic black watchfaces like the ones available on the LG Urbane http://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?p=4399491
I use it with a suit every day and it would look great disguising the flat tire.

I wonder if the Urbane firmware is able to be flashed directly to the GWR?

Just pulled the trigger

Been watching YouTube videos and reading reviews today comparing the LG G watch R against the Moto 360. I have to be honest, I marginally prefer the look of the moto 360, but the faster processor, better battery life and easier interchangeable straps has swayed my decision to the lg, thinking a nice to red strap will look awesome. Also, wife is buying it for me and she preferred the LG. Managed to nab one from flubit for £210, was pretty happy with that. Will post opinions if anyone is interested when it arrives. Just need to convince her in doors that I now need a Note 4 to go with it. Think that will be a harder sell.
I had a 360 ordered but went for a lgr of the same reason as you. I really like lgr and I'm not sorry that I didn't go for 360.
The fact that it has a bigger battery sealed the deal for me. I've been wearing it 10am this morning and loving every second of it. It so accurate with text too. even curse words. its insane. I already switched the straps on mine.
I changed the strap to a metal band with a clasp though it's hard to put on the charger..

What band? Do you have any pics of it on the watch? A link where to buy it, if you bought it online?
Ive had the 360 for a few weeks now and grabbed the GWR yesterday. I think Ill keep both as the Moto looks a lil more dressy with the metal band on it. I am however REALLY enjoying the LG so far.
i have the possibility to buy a new smartwatch 3 for 60€. I prefer a lot this g watch r, it is way better in his design, but it costs 270€ and have the same hardware of smartwatch 3. what do you think about? At the moment (first generation of wearable etc etc) is better a lg g watch r for 270€ or smartwatch 3 for 60€?

yes but there is 210€ of difference for the only design (same specs), I think that is too high, specially because they are the first generation.

It was a good band but not convenient to use on the cradle
I wonder if there would be a good way to mount the cradle for easier use with metal bands like that.
If you flip the watch upside down it works but I didn't like that so I went to the stock band and now I actually like it

It is March 2015, is it too late to buy one for $200? Should I wait?

The biggest issue with technology is that there is always new and better coming out. It has been about 4 months after release. Am I late on this for $200 new and should wait for generation 3, urbane?

Good question. I am about to buy a like new one for $150 myself so I would love to hear some opinions.
Because of the slow response and my impatience, I decided to do a little googling. It looks like urbane and R are the same watch with a different shell.
I have no desire to get an additional data plan so Urbane LTE is out. The fact the regular Urbane is just a fancy case on a R., makes it reasonable for me to get the R.
Anyone got another view that differs what I said?
G watch r is a great watch still which is why I guess they used the same internals for the urbane. I still love my watch

I bought my R a couple weeks ago for 225 off eBay and do not regret it one bit. It's an awesome device that looks fantastic and performs just as good as it looks.
I bought my R on Feb 6th for full price LOL. I still love it, never leave the house without it. I never wore a watch before, even though I've bought a few over the years they never seem to stay with me long. The R is different, it does enough to make a few things easier for me that really makes it worth it to wear daily.
Just my two cents

It's never too late for this device. It's late if you think moto 360. But the specs of this device can carry it for following two years..
I own this watch for more than 2 months now and m in love with it.
Got mine like new for $150 and loving it so far. I do miss the old zgpax s5 I had which was a full blown phone into a watch format but that one had no real integration with my phone and well no where near battery life, screen quality or simple good looks.
I must find a deal for a new one. I expect price drop once the urbane release.
I must be looking in the wrong places. You guys managed to find an LG Watch R for $150-200? Brand new?
The closest I found was an international edition with no warranty at $270
^^^^^ Yeah. I just got it as a gift from my wife and I believe she paid 300$ at best buy. I would love to know if I can get it cheaper.
Since you can do pre-order for the Urbane for $460, they may keep the watch R in the line up at the current price... wouldn't be surprised by this. I have the LG Watch R and like it alot; I'm just so used to a heavier watch and actually prefer a heavier weight that it's taking me a while to get used to it. I got the aftermarket band that everyone links to (black stainless steel) but even that is really light. All in all it's a great watch the only real complaint I have is trying to read it in direct sunlight... it's impossible and you have to cup over the watch to read it. Other than that it's great.

I was thinking on getting the LTE when it came out but looks like it will have the Urbane looks which I dont like at all so I am holding to my Watch R for a while. :good:
I doubt anything better with a sweet price point will come out soon (the Urbane is already priced too high, and I think the Huawei will be dear too). I paid £200 (GBP) for mine. Not sure it's worth that much, although at least I'm not as foolish as the iFollowers and their ridiculous pricing.
I was able to get a moto 360 for $41 dollars with the sillie bestbuy deal. i may try to trade it in for a watch r.
but from reading recent articles, the updates has made it more comparable to the watch r.
slightly torn....
I've been holding out for the Urbane but someone made an interesting point. The G Watch R can be dressed down or dressed up. I can wear it with a suit and tie or with jeans and sneakers. The Urbane seems more of a suit watch.
Same internals. Same specs. I'm gonna pick up the R from Google. I haven't seen it priced lower and I'm not into used products. My Galaxy Gear is 2 years old and on it's last tooth.
Okay, so I've been playing with this thing for the last hour. Long enough to know it's being shipped back to Google. Highly disappointed with the watch and Android Wear. I can't believe how much of a crap experience this is.

Good for you. We will miss your great insights...BYE
Hey, don't take it personally. Android Wear is crap and this G Watch R is a POS. I thought my Gear had terrible battery life. I left home at 8 o'clock with 100% battery life. It's presently 9:43 and the battery is currently at 56%! This is with screen always off. Says I have at most 2 hours before it's dead! What kinda crap is this?
Why do people get defensive when someone states their opinion? I've been on XDA longer than most and this new crop of members have very thin skins. It's not like you own the company or coded this crap software - well unless you did in which case you need a new day job.
And to answer the OP's question - Yes, yes, run like hell in the opposite direction from anything with Android Wear on it. It's not ready for prime time.

Get an Urbane or wait?

Oh the proverbial rock and hard place.
I got rid of my LG G watch and just sold my Gear S (phenomenal screen BTW). I was going to wait for the Zenwatch 2 to come out in a month but I am missing my watch.
My cousin is selling his Urbane for pretty much what the Zenwatch 2 will cost.. He is OCD like me so its in meticulous condition.
Is it worth it to buy the Urbane now that the next gen are coming out? I consider the Urbane and Watch R as "V1.5" but they do share similar hardware with the "V2.0" watches.
I don't see any exciting new features in the next android wear watches.
The round ones- new 360 and huawei are similar to the urbane, a matter of taste which one to get.
The squares- the sony has no heart rate monitor and the zenwatch2 is square with 2 sizes. I'm not a fan of square watches.
Don't see any competition to the urbane for now
360 still has flat tire
Huawei is more expensive but for that extra $100 I see no new features
It's a perfect watch, but I agree is sort of a 1.5 gen... I just don't know what real second gen watches will bring to the table that software updates won't get us on this watch...
Kinda waiting for Samsung to come out with a nice round watch, since they tend to throw everything but the kitchen sink into them, lol. Would love to have IR blaster, camera and speaker back
I don't think the Zenwatch 2 has a heart rate monitor.
The newly announced watches aren't really a new generation. Their specs match the previously released watches. If the urbane is gen 1.5, then so is everything else that is currently out or was recently announced
I wanted the Zenwatch 2 because, in my mind, it was a compromise from my Gear S and the 2" screen. But if you talk about area, the 1.65" Zenwatch 2 has the same screen area as the Urbane (roughly 1.35 sq inches).
I'm getting the Urbane. I like the looks and really don't want to wait til late October for a watch.
Updates support?
If LG present a new watch in the next weeks (or before the new year), do you think about the Urbane updates?
Do you think that the Urbane will receive updates for at least 24 more months?

If you're right there are good news,
Due to the 2nd generation watches are using this processor
Google is controlling the updates so that's not an issue. It still a great watch, that looks nice (I've lost count on the compliments and the interest others have in me wearing it) that's a solid choice. The newer watches aren't bringing anything new to the table so your not missing much. I'm gonna keep this until the next next gen comes with a speaker.

This is the reason I miss my Gear S. If that watch had Android Wear or even just Android, it would be light years ahead of anything available now.
Agree, but dumb Samsung wants to convince the world otherwise. If it were cross compatible with Android that would totally help their cause. Android Wear is only picking up steam so no sense jumping ship now... kills me since I love them and would totally buy one but I cannot start my car via Tizen.

I have finally bought my Urbane yesterday and probably receive it tomorrow or monday.
A NFC powered watch will be probably useful, but the Urbane can be bought by 250€ in some retailers, and I think the new LG watch (if any) will cost 350-400€ or more.
I think the Urbane is the best watch at this price range.
There's an Android to Gear S port being worked on but I think that is months from being done. I still miss my Gear S but you can't beat Android Wear. I didn't think I would miss my apps but oddly I did.

I have not viewed the Rose Gold in real, only in pics.
I like a lot, probably more than the silver,
but because I have not viewed in real and the difficulties to combine the rose gold color with a metal strap,
I have preferred to order the silver.

Pebble right for me?

I currently have a Moto 360 and I feel it has to many features for me. I do not need the fitness stuff and the Google cards always showing up. I basically just want simple notifications (calls, texts, etc) and to be able to check my weather from my wrist. Sp, is Pebble right for me? I am looking at the Pebble Time but not sure I want to pay $199 for it. Should I just stick with the Moto or go for the PT?

From what you are saying, it sounds like a Pebble would do exactly what you want from it, plus you get much better battery life. Apparently, the new Timeline feature is coming to the first generation pebble, so you wouldn't miss out on much eventually.
Well, I picked up a Pebble Time this morning. Immediately disappointed. I am a little bit older (I am 37), so maybe it's just my eyes, but this thing is very hard to read. I played with display settings and it did not improve much. I boxed it up and will be returning it. Is the Pebble Steel more readable since it is just black and white?

I personally didnt care for the steel, but my partner loves it . and he has same interests as you
Not sure what the OP decided on but I had the original pebble, then upgraded to the pebble steel, then the Moto 360 2nd 46mm, and now looking and just getting the pebble time steel. Loved the pebble line but decided to try out a big boy watch with the 360. 360 2nd is a very nice watch but miss the simplicity and battery life of the pebble. Android wear I was swiping so much stuff away even after trimming it down that every time I looked at it there was another notification. Watch faces and screen are outstanding on it though.

Still worth it?

Is this watch worth buying in early 2018? My moto 360 Sport's band bit the dust. I am looking for a fairly cheap replacement and I found a deal for the Watch R on craigslist for $75. So with Wear 2.0 is this a good watch still? Secondly if it is still a good watch then is $75 a good deal. The watch appears to be in good condition.
Keep an eye out for the LG Style smart watch they go on sale for less than $100. Some apps don't work on the LG Watch R. Some of the apps that are on my LG Urbane 1st edition are not available on my LG Watch R. Consider the Urbane 1st edition if you really like the R. Yes, it's okay but the urbane is visually more appealing plus it's the same as the R. That or a Huawei Smartwatch it's comes with a speaker. At this point, I'm waiting for a Smartwatch with NFC and speakerphone.

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder . I prefer sporty watches for everyday use, so I really like my G Watch R. The only other watches out there at the moment that I like the looks of are Nixon The Misson which doesn't have the functions that I want and the TAG which is way too expensive. The Diesel is OK, but the functionality is very limited.
So the wait continues, in the mean time my LG G Watch R is working fine on Wear 2.8. The performance isn't as snappy as my friends Huawei Watch 2, but it works fine if you reboot once in a while. The things I like about the Watch R is the slim case, large screen and sporty metal bezel. I also use quick release bands to change the looks of the watch.
I wouldn't be concerned about the watch performing, I'd be concerned about getting one that needs a battery replacement or has some other issue that you don't know about.

I agree with you ! a reboot every 2nd week helps out of the watch starts to behave really bad. The wait continues till there is a watch which I'd buy . Still too many which are too expensive in my opinion .
I have had mine since it first came out. On the latest firmware I am getting 2 solid days of battery life. I really like the watch. If you can get a decent working one cheap, I would highly recommend it.
