I have had the Urbane for a week and I have had many people say that it is great looking watch.
Not that anybody should care but I fine the comments nice and I tend to agree.
Had Gear Live, Smartwatch 3 and now this device and it looks great (have stainless steel and black band)
Yup, it's a deceptively sexy device. Much better IRL than in pictures.
It's such a great looking watch, I saw one in person about an hour ago and just ordered one five minutes ago...lol, I even paid $4 for next day shipping from Amazon. SO EXCITED for this one (I am a watchaholic)
I don't agree with you. I think Moto 360 is much more stylish than LG Urbane watch. Both of these smart watches are circle but Moto 360 seems more stylish to me.

I think they both look good with a metal band, the Urbane looks much better with one...
moto 360? bulky, black bar, short battery life, i don't know why so many ppl like it... urbane is much better looking for sure.

Recently my galaxy gear has started telling me the battery is critically low as soon as it comes off the charger and shows a full charge. It reboots often spontaneously. Sometimes won't connect to the phone. All kinds of dumb stuff. I tried resetting several times. But at this point, I know I have the best buy protection plan on it, so I figure why not trade it in on something new.
I'm just not sure which way I want to go. I have been leaning more toward the LG G watch R and Moto 360, but want to make sure I am not ignoring other good models. I am currently using a Samsung note 4 edge, so I have most options available to me., but again I have been focusing more on android wear as opposed to Samsungs devices.
I like the LG G watch R, minus the possibility for burn in, the more expensive price tag and the slightly smaller screen. And everybody seems to dislike them now that they aren't doing wifi on the R. Should I also look at Urbane? It's even more expensive, but I feel like my galaxy gear was like $250, so I do have some money to put toward it I guess.
The 360 has a bigger screen and wireless charging, but has the flat tire, the older processor and smaller battery and while my wife likes it, I'm not in love with the cylinder on a strap look. Everyone says it looks classier than the sporty LG. But something about a big round thing on a small strap looks weird to me. I almost wish it had the Strap connectors(not sure the official term) like the LG has. I did just see it looks a little better with a metal strap as opposed to the leather ones.
I haven't looked at the zenwatch as much, something about the round screens were appealing to me. But maybe I should look into it more.
And then there are samsungs, gear live, grea 2 neo, and gear S, should I be looking at them? I don't need the gear S's standalone ability.
Maybe I will get biased answers here. But I figured it was a good place to start since I didn't really see a general smart watch forum.
Thanks!
Hey, gang -
Looking for a watch to replace my pebble steel. I have smaller wrists, but the pebble steel fits me fine. Wondering if there's anyone who's had both and can help me understand how the ZW3 compares to the steel.. don't want to get the ZW3 if it is going to be a monster on my wrist.
thanks!

Go to Best Buy store, they carry both the ZW3 and the Gear S3 and try them on.
The Gear S3 is physically and noticeably larger in all it's dimensions.
Be sure to take your Pebble Steel with you........................
Good luck, have a great day!

Oh that sucks! I guess it is so popular they cannot keep them in stock. All kidding aside, my fiance whom is a very tiny woman, has a ZW3 on her skinny wrist and she loves it! We both have one. We just wish they would HTFU with their AW2 update!
Went ahead and ordered one yesterday.. should get it tonight.. looking forward to something a little nicer than my Pebble Steel!
I am switching between the ustwoo watchfaces that came with my unlocked LG Watch Sport. What great watchfaces have folks found. I like analog with complications (mostly just steps, battery, and weather.
Portions.... Love it
I use Portions. I used to use a Facer Rolex watchface on my OG Moto 360.

Yeah, I like Portions and really most of the 2.0 faces. Wish the watch wasn't so bulky on my small wrist.
If they would have made it thinner it would been most perfect.

Yep, picked up an unlocked LG Urbane 2 LTE and patiently waiting for AW 2.0. It doesn't feel as bulky as the Sport.
I almost bought the urbane but I wanted the updated processor and the rotating crown. I've had using the Sony sw3 for three years so i really gotta get used to this big sob.
Yeah, that's why it's hard to part with it. Too many watches. Gonna keep it for now though.
Is anyone with a LG Watch Sport able to use the Google Fit watch faces. They have disappeared, and I can't get them back. I have factory reset the phone, and the watch. They show back up, but when I run all the updates they vanish again.
I can't believe how bad some of the new watches look. The ZW3 is light, skinny and stylish compared to most of the watches out there that are chunky. I wish ASUS was still making watches
Yes that's true.
All the new watches are ugly as hell
Until OEM made one with major manufactures criteria the design i'm stick with Zenwatch 3 even being abounded by Asus.
I don't care about all these sport activity or heart monitor smartwatch they build.
I only want something compact,minimal,elegant and beautiful as watch first of all and then as smartwatch.
I'm not going to make a comment about performance, but as an owner of the Gear S2 Classic Platinum and the Gear S3 Classic, this watch looks cheaper in appearance. The turn bezel, to me in real life, looks like it belongs on a kids watch rather than a dress watch. I'm still not sure if I'll keep it for the functions, but right now I'm 50/50 on sending it back this week.
yes, the 41mm rotating bezel is plain where as for 45mm, it has got those grooves/gears around it. One of the reason i went with 45mm.
I've ordered the 41mm because the 45mm is like strapping an alarm clock to your wrist. Its here on Friday, fingers crossed I like it
May go for a Withings scanwatch if I don't like it.
The bezel on the 41mm version is more rounded and doesn't have the gripper teeth found on the 45mm version. I guess this is some sort of trade off to keep the screen bigger. I watched a few reviews and the silver 41mm always looked premium to me. As with all comments about design and colour, we have to factor in that not everyone's tastes are equal. For example I wouldn't be seen dead with the bronze version but many people (both male and female) seem to love it. Each to their own!
I am expecting my silver 45mm to be delivered today and will post my feeling about later. But I have no real doubts that I will love the watch.
.
I got my 45mm silver version delivered today. I have to say although it looks quite similar to my Galaxy Watch (1st gen) there are enough to differentiate them.
It looks great and I have ordered a tan coloured leather band which I think will really make this watch look even more premium.
It received a firmware upgrade, that now activates the SPO2 sensor and I was running the latest Tizen 5.5 on my original watch, everything looks pretty much the same, which is not a bad thing.
So to the OP, I believe your disappointment lays with the smaller version, I can see maybe how a smaller dial would give a less premium look. I hope you are happy with whatever you decide to do going forward though.

Glad you are liking the GW3. I had used black 42mm GW before and i got the mystic silver 45mm GW3 this time around. This looks totally a new watch to me because of the bigger brighter display and the silver color. I am liking it
I sent my 41mm Silver back and sold the Frontier I was going to trade in on the Bay for more than the Sammy trade in allowance. I've read that the 45mm is actually thinner than the 41. During Black Friday I'll go into a store with my trusted S3 and compare it side by side with the silver 45. Maybe I'll give the 45 a chance then.
Sending my 41mm back, Samsung can't tell me when ECG and BP monitoring will be available. I really like the watch, but I need these features and honestly think I'll get fed up charging every day.
Hey ho

The features you want are dependant on approval from public health bodies, not Samsung. So you can't blame them for not being able to give you an answer. But in my opinion the UK is likely to be on board quicker than a lot of other countries so my guess is this feature will be available soon.
As for charging, I get 2 days easily out of mine with normal use. Popping it on charge over night (or a quick top up in the morning if using sleep monitoring) really shouldn't be any trouble to you, with its magnetic charging pad it's no different to placing your watch on the bedside table or wherever you normally lay your watch when you take it off.
If you really like the watch like you say you do, then I think you are missing out here.
Just my opinion of course.
Good response... But...
• Samsung can't provide date when ECG/BP will be ready, Samsung support lied to me, Grrrr
• I have to charge daily 2-3h Grrrrr
• Eats battery on my oneplus phone, far too many Samsung services running.
• doesn't work with Strava
Withings scanwatch
Battery lasts 30 (THIRTY days)
ECG, heart monitoring & other stuff already approved
Got all workout activities I need
Only £279
Works with Strava
Looks great
For me, personally, it's a no brainer
Comparing with my old Huawei Watch 2 Classic, which had a much larger bezel, the GW3 does look more premium and modern. I might have done the bezel a little different on GW3, but ultimately I think the screen size-to-bezel ratio is about right (on the 45mm version).
As for battery, no issues. Although an hour of GPS & heart rate monitoring on a brisk walk drains the battery like no one's business (about 20% an hour, and that's without bluetooth tunes). But that seems to be pretty typical for any watch on GPS. GPS and heart rate appear to be very accurate, too, but some reviewers that are competitive marathoners have had a few minor issues. The 8(?) infra-red sensors means you don't have to tighten the watch until it cuts off circulation to get good readings.
