Tech Talk

Android Wear smartwatches have been in the market for a year. Google’s own software platform for watches has birthed over half a dozen different types already. from Sony, Asus, LG, Motorola and Samsung.

The LG Watch Urbane is LG‘s third Android Wear watch. Its first, the G Watch, was square. The sequel, the G Watch R, was fully round, and it looks like a regular watch, That is what I really like about it. The leather strap around your wrist and the sporty look make it a fancy watch.

it has a fully round 1.3-inch OLED display at the expense of a bit more chassis and bezel. big and bright!

The Urbane comes in either gold or silver colored designs.

A side button that looks like a crown acts as an Android wear home button. Click it once to turn on the display or activate Google Now voice commands, or press and hold to reach apps and settings. Beyond that, the Urbane has a microphone and vibration feedback, but no speaker. None of the Android Wear watches do.

The Watch Urbane is water resistant (IP67), which means you can wash your hands with it or even submerge it in 1 meter of still water for up to 30 minutes. but the leather band isn’t water resistant and you can’t wear it while swimming. And like all Android Wear watches, it’ll pair with Android phones running Android 4.3 or later.

All in all I should admit that The LG Watch Urbane is the best-looking Android Wear smartwatch , but it doesn’t offer all that much more than previous Android Wear watch models.
