Verdict: LG Watch Urbane
The LG was one of the first manufacturers that partnered with Google to use Android Wear, a version of the Android operating system optimized for watches. A prop that turns out to be a bit expensive as it costs € 349.99.
The smartwatchs still have a few years on the market and we believe that the market is still at the beginning and that much can be done in this segment . However, the Android Wear is an operating system already quite good, but nothing better than reading the complete analysis.
Features
Despite these technological models, the box has the same style the most luxurious watches. As you would expect, the only accessory is the smartwatch boot.
Design and screen
The first smartwatch had square designs, but quickly realized that the technology would follow a more premium design, so as to raise the level of watches. Of course they will never rub shoulders with the big luxury brands, as people who are interested in this segment will not fail to like these brands, but you can find interest in people who like technological gadgets and want better designs.
The circular design was released by Motorola, with the Moto X, and the success was such that it soon became clear that it is the circular design that most people like, so most smartwatchs manufacturers have circular versions (the only exception is Sony)
The LG Watch Urbane is the premium range of the South Korean manufacturer, which has a leather strap, and the clock itself is metal and is available in silver and gold, and the silver color we like and was sent by LG to test.
The LG Watch Urbane design is a classic design, with a robust frame and certainly ideal for the male audience. In fact, even for its size, a thinner wrist like a woman, is a clock that will not be good. The watch has a single button that serves to go to the watch face, or turn off the screen with two rings
The bracelet, for its part, is in leather and have normal wear such watches. Given that the clock has passed by several people, we have noted some wear leather.
The screen is full, unlike Moto X, i.e., is part circular screen, and displays have completed, which gives a totally different touch to the clock. The screen is of good quality and its use is very good, with a response to the high level of touch. Even in extreme brightness with screen display can well see the screen.
But there is an option to have always on screen, and when loaded once on the clock button, the screen switches to a format similar the eink and will continue to tell the time without having to turn on the clock, because the screen is certainly what most battery consuming.
Performance
It is difficult to make comparative performance to smartwatchs, since practically all have the same operating system, the Android Wear, which can not be changed, that is, there can interface changes, which means that the only difference between the various smart watches is design exterior and dials

The truth is that the watch has a very unique goal, which is to be supportive of the smartphone and the same is true for versions with 4G, since the smartphone replace the clock is impossible. So to read mail and see messages without having to take the pocket smartphone is what you get with this smartphone. Also, when setting up the smartphone to connect to the smartphone bluetooth, even if not within reach of the equipment, the clock continues to receive notifications via wifi, which also equips the clock.
To interact in Android Wear, slide down to turn back, and with a touch on the screen for more than one second, you can change the various dials the LG watch has available. Sliding from right to left will have access to the applications installed on smartwatch.
However, there is a specification that lack the GPS. Without the smartphone will be difficult to work with Google Maps
In order for the clock work in its fullness, you should use Google Now on your smartphone. Then you will have more information on the clock and realize why the Android Wear. However, when used in Portuguese encounter some difficulties, as several times he will tell you who does not realize what we say. Therefore, to try to use the maximum term in English, although not very logical.
The autonomy, the clock guarantees a day of use, and with much difficulty got two days. And this is the great “Achilles heel” of smart watches, battery. The normal duration of smartwatch is a day, which is combined with another gadget we have to carry every day, particularly for people who also have to carry the smartphone every day. Now becomes two gadgets to connect to the charger before you go to bed.
The smartwatch is still, after finishing the day and lie down, put the watch to load the head and thus rising , put it on your wrist and follows day. This will be the new daily routine for anyone who purchases a smartwatch
Verdict:. LG Watch Urbane
The smartwachs are recent and gadgets that have shaken the market, with exterior design better and better and the LG Watch Urbane is a good example. With a classic design, it will be easy to win over skeptics, and also owned a high quality screen. It also has an option that keeps the screen always on allowing tell the time whenever you want, without having to turn on the screen.
On the other hand, there is a specification that still missing and enhances the independence of the clock that is GPS. Also Google Now, which is the major driver of smartwatchs has some trouble hearing in Portuguese, and if you want to see how the watch can actually work, you must use the English language.
Points to Favor:
- Classical Design
- Display Quality
- Screen possibility always on
Points Against:
- Google Now does not work very well in Portuguese
- It does not have GPS
We want to thank LG for having ceded the LG Watch Urbane for testing. Smartwatch can buy in retail stores for € 349.99
