This smart watch seems to be an attempt by the company to make it look smarter than other Android watches in the market. Containing all the user friendly applications this watch should deserve special attention from the customers.

Design and quality

This gadget is available in two main styles which include silver color with blackish leather strap and pink gold with brownish leather strap.The metal is highly polished and the outer body thickness of 11 mm appears intimidating and chunky. Its body is slightly slimmer than Apple Watch and G Watch R. The power button in the disguise of a general watch dial is located in the right side of the body. The leather straps which are available with the watch are initially irritating and rigid but become flexible and comfortable with the passage of time. It has a heart sensor which is located at the back of the watch. The performance of the display screen is much better with impressive contrast ratio as well as vibrant and nice colors. At highest level of brightness, it can be easily used in direct sunlight. With 245 ppi of pixel density it is slightly behind the smart watches of Apple in respect of size of the display screen.

OS and tech

LG Urbane Smartwatch runs on Android Wear, the same operating system which helps to run the smartwatches of Samsung and Motorola. It is thoroughly compatible with smartphones having Android Jelly Bean operating system and pairing it with mobile through Bluetooth you can access all the apps of Android Wear. The platform mainly comprises of three main lists of commands, contacts and apps. You also have the option of making calls from this smartwatch with the help of your smartphone to communicate. Cards and notifications are delivered in simple and clean banners for swiping easily through finger or flick over the wrist. Bringing your head near the user interface is quite simple as it involves exploration for only few minutes. However, it quickly becomes apparent that this operating system is not at all pleasant to be used as expected. This is mainly because of the lagging performance of Google Voice Search and Google Now. Some apps like YPlan hardly open and other apps like Duolingo are quite painful to use.

The battery life of this smartwatch is like ice on top of the cake. The power that it derives from the battery of 410 mAh is similar to that of G Watch R. It is more than the battery capacity of Apple but it has become unsuccessful to double its staying power. The battery can a last little more than 24 hours in between charges compared to that of smartwatches of Apple. If you block certain apps and only checking your watch for notifications then also you can extend the use for over 2 days.The availability of internal memory of 4 GB can help you to store certain applications but unlike the smartphones it is not so cool.
