The LG G Watch attempts to bring you the future on your wrist, but with its generic design, unimpressive battery life, and unpolished early software, you're better off waiting to see what else is around the bend.

The G Watch is a cool gadget, but it fails to really impress with a lacklustre design and some software quirks which detract from the overall experience.

The LG G Watch showcases the potential of Android Wear, but the hardware is just not up to scratch. The wait for the definitive smartwatch continues.

The Watch Urbane does a nice job of looking like a traditional wristwatch and it follows the G Watch R in bringing solid performance and battery life to Android Wear. Still, it's expensive now with Android Wear prices tumbling in recent months. And it falls just short of being either so beautifully crafted we have to have it or so genuinely useful that it blows its direct competition out of the water. We've seen a lot of smartwatch attempts from LG and this is a huge improvement over 2014's boring square G Watch. If you're more interested in a slightly flashy, tech companion than tracking health and fitness, the Watch Urbane makes sense. But only if you're willing to splash out on the style.
