An early look at LGs new Watch Urbane with LTE

[techbeck]

 

LG has been making Android Wear smartwatches since day one, and it's kept busy. It's put out three smartwatches so far that run the year-old operating system, and as of today, it's announcing a fourth: a second edition of the Watch Urbane. The original Watch Urbane was introduced in November to lukewarm reviews — it's a pretty chunky device without a lot of style — but now the new Watch Urbane is here to address that and push the platform forward even farther.

This time around, LG has given the Watch Urbane an ever-so-slightly larger 1.38-inch display (up from 1.3 inches) with a higher resolution, of 480 x 480 pixels. Even with the bigger screen, the watch's body is actually getting substantially smaller. The excess metal at the top and bottom of the original have basically just been chopped off, and a ring around its circular bezel makes what remains there appear smaller as well. The second edition of the Watch Urbane still isn't something I'd consider wearing, but this model looks far more like something that people who are already into large watches could get into.

Little big but I like the look of it except for the side buttons. Buttons fine, but those are ugly.
