LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition First Look

2015-10-01
hello everybody I'm crystal from Android Authority and this here's a first look at LG's newest SmartWatch the LG watch urbane second edition the big story with this watch is that this is a world's first Android SmartWatch that can actually connect to cell towers with 3G and LTE speeds this means that the urbane second edition takes the nano SIM card so it does appear that you'll be able to make phone calls and get notifications without a phone which is very interesting now of course to do this there needs to be antenna bands located somewhere and LG had a pretty smart idea of incorporating these antenna bands into the wrist bands of the urbane second edition which keeps the watch itself looking very clean and of course it's capable of standard Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections the LG watch urbane second edition is still made from a polished stainless steel housing which looks very beautiful and has a very nice strong build to it once again I have very small wrists but with this watch being 44 point five millimeters it feels very good it's not the thinnest SmartWatch but with this curved organ amah Chryst bands is quite comfortable the round screen is still present with a second edition of their Bane but this time the 1.3 eight-inch P OLED display gets a bump up and resolution to 480 by 480 that's 348 pixels per inch which is one of the sharpest displays we've seen on Android wear unfortunately we weren't able to test out the urbane second edition with the screen on so we couldn't see this display in action but if this is just a striper version of the already great display on last generations urbane that's going to be one beautiful display there are some new additions above and below the ambient display button by pressing the top button you can launch your favorite contact and the bottom button will launch LG's health app when pressed however there's no word just yet on if you can customize these buttons to launch other settings or apps inside the urbane second edition we have a 570 million power battery which is quite a step up from last editions 410 million power battery LG claims that you'll be able to get through at least a day and a half to two days of use on a single charge lastly we have four different color choices of these rubber wristbands including a signature brown space black luxe white and opal blue as you can see here the price has yet to be announced but LG definitely seems to have stepped up the game here when it comes to Android smartwatches and we're looking forward to powering on this urbane second edition and playing around with it so make sure you keep subscribed to us here at Android authority for more coverage on the LG watch urbane second edition and other Android smartwatches as we are your source for all things Android
