LG Watch Urbane review: big, bold and a bit gaudy

LG's challenger to the Apple Watch is the most convincing Android Wear device yet, but its design lacks subtlety

The LG Watch Urbane is the Korean company's third smartwatch in under a year, a shiny, metal-covered, round Android Wear watch to compete with Apple's Watch - and with a price tag to match.

The Urbane is a follow-up to the chunky G Watch R and LG's second round smartwatch to use its 1.3in plastic OLED screen.

Pros: Fast, always-on screen, latest Android Wear, heart rate monitor, Wi-Fi, quality leather watch strap.

Cons: Really big, styling is divisive, less than two-day battery, no ambient light sensor, expensive.
