LG Watch Urbane hands-on: Elegance is everything

2015-03-01
LG may have been the launch partner for Android wear with the original G watch but it wasn't until the company launched the G watch R and denounced the watch urbane that we began praising its design team I'm high memory better with pocket now here at MWC 2015 in Barcelona for a quick hands on a luxurious watch urbane LG has decided to launch not one but two watch urbane models at MWC one running LTE and webOS that you can see on a separate hands on an Android wear variant that we have here both the watch urbane and watch urbane LTE support the same 1.3 inch 320 by 320 resolution healeth display that we saw with the G watch arm but the differences are that these are smaller bezels on the newer models allowing for a more immersive experience this feel that technology has the advantage that it allows for certain basics of the watch to remain visible even with the displays on standby for a more convenient experience this particular non LTE variants ports a screwless design made with stainless steel to the top and bottom you actually have the options to choose either a gold or silver finish in addition to either leather or metallic straps even though for the case of this hands-on only leather straps were available this device sports a 1.2 gigahertz bachlin Snapdragon 400 processor 512 megabytes of RAM and 4 gigs of built-in storage that you can also use for music it sports a smaller 410 milliamp hour battery would compare to the 700 million-dollar unit on the watch urbane LTE so regardless of which wearable you choose you're only getting one day of charge according to the company one cool benefit remains that the charging mechanism of the watch urbane is magnetic providing a more durable experience when compared to the original G watch as opposed to the webOS LTE counterpart watch urbane runs Android wear version 5.0 with all the regular bells and whistles that we've already seen in previous reviews the same Google now card for you that we are already accustomed to seeing in the past is available but with the added kick that we have some more watch phases here LG spent some time showing us just how cool you could customize these watch phases from the time hands to just about everything but it wasn't really clear this will be available at the launch of the watch urbane or if this will only be a watch for main LTE capability now the big story about watch her Bane is really in its design and LG has delivered a true gem here as the Vice feels great in the hand and then the wrist it almost resembles a true timepiece and it doesn't feel that you're wearing a gadget something that Android wear smartwatches have really struggled to provide so far we'll definitely need to take it for a spin of our pocket mountain labs to tell you more but for now just remember I'm I'm never out of pocket now here at MWC 2015 make sure you follow us on social media subscribe to our channel as well you can follow us on Twitter Jaime underscore Nevada and other links at the description as well again please give this video a thumbs up if you like what you saw and we will see you with more coverage of MWC in Barcelona
