LG Watch Urbane have been released for a very long time and last month I decided to get one. This is my first smartwatch I ever owned and used.
 
Since Linus never reviewed this watch, and I am not able to find any member review about this watch in LTT forum. here's my take on LG Watch Urbane 1st gen.

Packaging and Accessory
 

 
 

 
The watch comes in a pretty mediocre packaging even though the price is quite premium. The box it comes in doesn't really show it's price tag. But the accesory it comes with is pretty good.
 
 

 
 
Each accessory comes in the little brown box you see in the picture.
 
Hardware and Appereance
 

 
The watch body is stainless steel, but the bottom is plastic with brushed look. The watch body is considerably relatively thick and big. it definetely not suitable for small hands.
 
The crown part of the watch is brushed stainless steel.
 

 
For me personally it looks good. It looks like a premium WATCH. Yes. The LG Watch Urbane looks like a watch, not like a gadget like peeble (to be fair, I like peeble too. but the price difference in where I live is pretty close with the urbane so I got urbane instead). Wherever I go, if people doesn't see my notification pop on the screen, or see me fiddling with the watch, they won't really notice that it is a smartwatch.
 
When people do notice, they went crazy, everyone wants to try it and everyone wants to see it in action.
 

 
The watch uses standard 22mm strap with spring loaded pin. It's not that easy to change it, unlike moto360 you kinda need to use tools and risk scratching the watch when trying to change the strap, which is a small downside but I can live with it.
 
The strap it comes with is tough, it took me 2 weeks of daily use to make it more comfortable.
 
if you buy the gold color watch, you'll get different color strap which is brown if I am not wrong.
 
The screen is actually really good. It uses real glass not plastic. The text look crisp on reasonable range (obviously I won't put my watch near my face). Screen brightness on low is pretty good, but for outdoor even on full brightness it's not bright enough. Also talking about outdoor, this watch doesn't have ambient light sensor. Which is kinda annoying.
 
There are times where I can barely see my watch screen.
 
Battery Life
 
The battery (410mAH) in this watch is bigger than most smartwatch out there. it definetely last me at least a day if nothing goes wrong (More on that later). on standby  (screen off) it use little power which is pretty nice. on a normal day it left me with 50-60% battery life left at the end of the day (7 A.M. to 8 P.M.)
 

 
To charge the watch, it uses propietary craddle, it doesn't have wireless charging like moto 360. The charger it comes with is not the best. The cable is pretty thin, it is also not very long (aroung 1 meter in length).
 
 

 
The connection between the cable and the craddle use the usuall micro USB and it is removeable which is pretty neat if the cable need to be replaced.
 
Software and Usability
 
This part is the biggest upset of this watch.
The software is as stable as rock trying to balance itself on another rock.
 
I have never went through 3 days without needing to restart my watch at least once.
 
The watch freezes and lags after a day and a half without restarting it.
 
There are also occasional "android wear stopped working" error. which is easily fixable by tapping ok. (this will restart the android wear not the watch)
 
Not all application works. for example amazon app for the watch doesn't work. when opening an application it took 2-4 second from tapping the app.
 
usually when trying to open an app it went like this: app selection -> watch face for 2-4 seconds -> application.
 
There are random battery drain. Which can last from 15 minutes to 3 hour (sometimes 4 hours) (this consumes from 10% to 40% of battery depending on the duration of the drain) . usually this happens when I sleep. The watch gets warm at these times.
 
This forces me to charge the watch at least every 1,5 days.
 
All of these are known problems on android wear 5.1.1, hopefully this will be fixed in android wear 6. as the android wear itself is maturing as the time goes by.
 
But when the software works, it works really well. it gives me notification which in turns saves me from getting my phone from my pocket, and wasting the phone battery by waking it up everytime a notification comes in.
 
Conclusion
 
This watch and android wear is in process of maturing. The biggest problem I had with this watch is the software. The android wear is not mature enough for me, there are battery drain, crashes, lags, frezees in this software and I experience it on daily basis.
 
As for the watch, it is maturing, but it is pretty good IMO. LG is releasing the second generation of urbane which have LTE which seems to be a pretty good one too, and there are also Moto 260 2nd gend, and Huawei watch which looks beautiful. I think there are better option than LG watch urbane 1st gen now.

Nice review comrade. haven't read the entire thing yet, but reading and is a nice review

well since this review is made. I've located the problem of my phone poor battery life. and it's my fault.
 
I turned on dropbox automatic photo upload. and I found out that it's silently uploading a sh*t ton of picture for days. Using my phone's internet quota and my home internet's bandwith. and also the battery
*my upload speed at home is 70~ish kb/s
 
since I turn the automatic photo upload thing off. I found out that it increased the battery life dramatically.
 
Now it last for a day on normal use (automatic brightness enabled, location enabled, rotation enabled, smart setting off, smart bulletin off, no gaming).

A little background for this review:
I was a heavy Samsung user for the past few years (my first Samsung phone is S3 near launch day and my last is Note 3 which I also bought at near launch day) and on those years I used Samsung tablets (multiple). My whole family use Samsung phone other than me and my dad's blackberry (he have 2 other samsung gadget) In where I live (Indonesia) 3G and 4G signal drains battery quite fast. I bought LG G4 with the brown leather back  
LG G4 have been released for a short time. I have not been using this phone for a long time, but I think I would give it a review since I am pretty Impressed with this phone.
 
Build Quality : 8.5/10
The Good
Grip and Feels
The Grip on this Phone is better than my grip on my Note 3. my index finger rest quite comfortably on the back button. my other finger also feels better. my pinky doesn't get tired when holding this phone (usually my pinky get tired quickly when I hold Note 3).
 
You can see by the way I hold the phone, The phone weight on my pinky finger which gets uncoformtable on Note 3 but have yet to have problem with LG G4.
 
*check the album link on the bottom*
 
Material Choice
 

 
A HUGE thumbs up to LG for putting A REAL leather on this phone. I was dissapointed with Note 3's Pleather. I don't feel the premium feeling when I hold my Note 3. This comes down to the fact that Note 3 use a lot of plastic and make the phone feels cheap pretty quick.
 
On the other hand LG's Leather back makes the phone not only feels but also looks premium.
 
The Bad
The Leather
I'm kinda afraid of damaging the back leather because it looks and feels fragile in some ways (feels easily scratch, tear apart). the only other leather backed phone I had is Blackberry Bold 2 8970 and the leather holds pretty well. I really hope the leather on this phone will hold as well as the leather on my blackberry.
 
Phone Shape
This is my first curved phone. Usually when I play with tap intensive games I put my phone on a flat surface and tap away until my finger hurts. Sadly, LG G4 is not a flat phone at all. The back of the phone is curved on all direnctions. This makes the phone move around when I tap vigorously while the phone is on a flat surface.
 

 
Screen : 9/10
The Good
Screen Quality
The smaller bezel on the screen, combined with the QHD display and vibrant color blows my Note 3 Screen to the water. Hell this phone have better screen than my PC. The color reproduction is pretty good (Not the best) but doesn't really matter at this point. The text is a lot more crisp than my previous gadgets.
 
Before I doesn't buy the more PPI is better thing. But this phone opens my eye. the QHD actually helps with the little details that I never noticed before. so a thumbs up to LG for the screen quality.
 
Screen Brightness and light sensor
This is where Phone and gadget usually fails me. But the LG G4 wins my hearts and my eye. The screen is really-really bright on maximum brightness, and can get really dim on the lowest setting. The brightness impresses me. I don't know about S6 but at this price point the screen brightness is pretty good.
 
What about the light sensor? well it works. It works well only fails me once so far. My Note 3 light sensor fails me in multiple conditions. Where the screen is always too dim on normal light condition. And the maximum brightness still makes me struggle to use my phone on direct sunlight use on sunny day.
 
Camera : 7.5/10
 
First of all I'm not a camera and photo guy but I just would like to write about my experience and stuff. So please be nice to me on this part.
 
The Good
Great Image Quality
The first comment I got from my family members about the Image is the picture quality is pretty good. blows away my Note 3, my bro's Note 4 and S5. The Image is very crisp (the screen might contribute on this, but on further inspection it seems the image is actually good). The selfie (front facing) camera is 8 Megapixels which is pretty good. it captures my not-smooth face pretty well, it shows the detail of my face which makes asphalt looks pretty smooth compared to my face.
 
(I am not sharing my face on this forum)
 
Manual Mode
Can't speak too much about this feature since I'm not a camera guy. I'm still learning on how to use this feature. The Manual Focus helps on capturing macro picture or blurring background and stuff (DSLR does better job).
 
 
The Bad
Camera Speed and AutoFocus
This is where the phone dissapoint me. The laser auto focus dissapoint me. The Autofocus and camera speed is slow (about 1-2 sec wait) on Weird light condition.The environment is lid with 2 LED lightbulb which leaves quite a lot of shadows in the environment. And most of the time I can't snap picture as fast as Iphone 6 camera.
 
This problem also occurs on my Note 3 so I don't really know if this problem is caused by software or hardware side.
 
Connectivity : 10/10
The Good
Well no complains here. only good things :
Dual SIM slot with 4G LTE on both slot. Supports Huge range of mobile data frequencies which is very useful if You travel a lot. Have NFC, Bluetooth, IR. Great Wi-FI. I have no problem of using USB 2 instead of USB 3 since I rarely use it to transfer data. I prefer AirDroid.   Software : 8/10
The Good
Feel and experience
UX 4 actually feels pretty good. Have additional security feature which I actually use (Knock lock). Hide sensitive notification on lock screen by default. Can switch user or make new user which is pretty Neat (Better implementation than Samsung Knox IMO).
 
Less bloatware than my Note 3. I Prefer the Icon on LG G4 rather than on my Note 3 (Lollipop).
 
I have better accuracy on the keyboard (I don't like swiftkey, so my previous experience is Samsung's keyboard). The only downside is if I switch to symbols on the keyboard, the backspace takes a bit of space which makes me misclick sometimes.
 
I switch off text prediction from the start so don't ask me how good is it.
 
The Smart setting is also pretty Neat. it's like tasker but a lot less feature.
 
The Bad
Usability
some settings are definetily harder to find (Mobile Network setting IMO should be integrated to the Sim card option in the setting,etc). I prefer Samsung's Implementation of the setting page here.
 
Battery : 8 /10
The Good
Battery Pack
When I bought this Phone, I got free battery pack. The content of the battery pack are :
1 Extra Battery Travel Case for the Extra battery Charga Case for the battery It doesn't come with additional charger or cable, but It's ok for me. Usually when I got home I just swap the battery and charge the depleted battery so I have no problem with just 1 Charger.
 
Removable Battery
I hope this ancient feature won't change in the future. This helps a lot. Since in a single day I can go through 2 battery (If i'm not using wifi and using my phone intensively).
 
A removable battery means I can quickly swap my battery to get my phone to fully charge at any time.
 
Also if my battery go bad I can just buy a new one and saves me a lot of time.
 
*I'm Looking at you S6*
 
The Bad
Quick Charge
This Phone doesn't come with quick charge capable charger. So charging time is longer than my Note 3. This could be a problem if there is no spare battery which means I have to spend longer time to charge my phone. I really hope LG would include quick charge capable charger.
 
The phone itself actually supports it or I think so (Charging using Note 3 charger is faster than using the standard LG G4 charger).
 
* since I made the review I've found out what is eating my battery life so bad. it's dropbox's automatic photo upload *
Battery Life
Battery is like oxygen for any phone. without it, it is basically a brick or an-overly-expensive-paperweight. let me put this straight. the battery life so far is not very good
 
(you can see the battery usage graph on the album I'll link it at the bottom)
 
My Note 3 also struggle in this part, even though I have extra battery I don't think I can give any thumbs up to LG in this part of the review. Even though my country 3G and 4G draining habit affect quite a lot in this part, I still thinks this could be done better. (larger battery maybe?)
 
Conclusion : 51/60
This Is my Next Phone. For the price of around $600 (for US people) and me originally its around $700 but there is a discount so I got it for cheaper price (I don't live in the US) this phone definitely worth every penny. Great Build, Screen, Camera.
 
Even though there are some bad things here and there. overall not bad at all. Great Phone. I would recommend this phone to almost anyone.

My whole family use Samsung phone other than me and my dad's blackberry (he have 2 other samsung gadget) In where I live (Indonesia) 3G and 4G signal drains battery quite fast. I bought LG G4 with the brown leather back  
LG G4 have been released for a short time. I have not been using this phone for a long time, but I think I would give it a review since I am pretty Impressed with this phone.
 
Build Quality : 8.5/10
The Good
Grip and Feels
The Grip on this Phone is better than my grip on my Note 3. my index finger rest quite comfortably on the back button. my other finger also feels better. my pinky doesn't get tired when holding this phone (usually my pinky get tired quickly when I hold Note 3).
 
You can see by the way I hold the phone, The phone weight on my pinky finger which gets uncoformtable on Note 3 but have yet to have problem with LG G4.
 
*check the album link on the bottom*
 
Material Choice
 

 
A HUGE thumbs up to LG for putting A REAL leather on this phone. I was dissapointed with Note 3's Pleather. I don't feel the premium feeling when I hold my Note 3. This comes down to the fact that Note 3 use a lot of plastic and make the phone feels cheap pretty quick.
 
On the other hand LG's Leather back makes the phone not only feels but also looks premium.
 
The Bad
The Leather
I'm kinda afraid of damaging the back leather because it looks and feels fragile in some ways (feels easily scratch, tear apart). the only other leather backed phone I had is Blackberry Bold 2 8970 and the leather holds pretty well. I really hope the leather on this phone will hold as well as the leather on my blackberry.
 
Phone Shape
This is my first curved phone. Usually when I play with tap intensive games I put my phone on a flat surface and tap away until my finger hurts. Sadly, LG G4 is not a flat phone at all. The back of the phone is curved on all direnctions. This makes the phone move around when I tap vigorously while the phone is on a flat surface.
 

 
Screen : 9/10
The Good
Screen Quality
The smaller bezel on the screen, combined with the QHD display and vibrant color blows my Note 3 Screen to the water. Hell this phone have better screen than my PC. The color reproduction is pretty good (Not the best) but doesn't really matter at this point. The text is a lot more crisp than my previous gadgets.
 
Before I doesn't buy the more PPI is better thing. But this phone opens my eye. the QHD actually helps with the little details that I never noticed before. so a thumbs up to LG for the screen quality.
 
Screen Brightness and light sensor
This is where Phone and gadget usually fails me. But the LG G4 wins my hearts and my eye. The screen is really-really bright on maximum brightness, and can get really dim on the lowest setting. The brightness impresses me. I don't know about S6 but at this price point the screen brightness is pretty good.
 
What about the light sensor? well it works. It works well only fails me once so far. My Note 3 light sensor fails me in multiple conditions. Where the screen is always too dim on normal light condition. And the maximum brightness still makes me struggle to use my phone on direct sunlight use on sunny day.
 
Camera : 7.5/10
 
First of all I'm not a camera and photo guy but I just would like to write about my experience and stuff. So please be nice to me on this part.
 
The Good
Great Image Quality
The first comment I got from my family members about the Image is the picture quality is pretty good. blows away my Note 3, my bro's Note 4 and S5. The Image is very crisp (the screen might contribute on this, but on further inspection it seems the image is actually good). The selfie (front facing) camera is 8 Megapixels which is pretty good. it captures my not-smooth face pretty well, it shows the detail of my face which makes asphalt looks pretty smooth compared to my face.
 
(I am not sharing my face on this forum)
 
Manual Mode
Can't speak too much about this feature since I'm not a camera guy. I'm still learning on how to use this feature. The Manual Focus helps on capturing macro picture or blurring background and stuff (DSLR does better job).
 
 
The Bad
Camera Speed and AutoFocus
This is where the phone dissapoint me. The laser auto focus dissapoint me. The Autofocus and camera speed is slow (about 1-2 sec wait) on Weird light condition.The environment is lid with 2 LED lightbulb which leaves quite a lot of shadows in the environment. And most of the time I can't snap picture as fast as Iphone 6 camera.
 
This problem also occurs on my Note 3 so I don't really know if this problem is caused by software or hardware side.
 
Connectivity : 10/10
The Good
Well no complains here. only good things :
Dual SIM slot with 4G LTE on both slot. Supports Huge range of mobile data frequencies which is very useful if You travel a lot. Have NFC, Bluetooth, IR. Great Wi-FI. I have no problem of using USB 2 instead of USB 3 since I rarely use it to transfer data. I prefer AirDroid.   Software : 8/10
The Good
Feel and experience
UX 4 actually feels pretty good. Have additional security feature which I actually use (Knock lock). Hide sensitive notification on lock screen by default. Can switch user or make new user which is pretty Neat (Better implementation than Samsung Knox IMO).
 
Less bloatware than my Note 3. I Prefer the Icon on LG G4 rather than on my Note 3 (Lollipop).
 
I have better accuracy on the keyboard (I don't like swiftkey, so my previous experience is Samsung's keyboard). The only downside is if I switch to symbols on the keyboard, the backspace takes a bit of space which makes me misclick sometimes.
 
I switch off text prediction from the start so don't ask me how good is it.
 
The Smart setting is also pretty Neat. it's like tasker but a lot less feature.
 
The Bad
Usability
some settings are definetily harder to find (Mobile Network setting IMO should be integrated to the Sim card option in the setting,etc). I prefer Samsung's Implementation of the setting page here.
 
Battery : 8 /10
The Good
Battery Pack
When I bought this Phone, I got free battery pack. The content of the battery pack are :
1 Extra Battery Travel Case for the Extra battery Charga Case for the battery It doesn't come with additional charger or cable, but It's ok for me. Usually when I got home I just swap the battery and charge the depleted battery so I have no problem with just 1 Charger.
 
Removable Battery
I hope this ancient feature won't change in the future. This helps a lot. Since in a single day I can go through 2 battery (If i'm not using wifi and using my phone intensively).
 
A removable battery means I can quickly swap my battery to get my phone to fully charge at any time.
 
Also if my battery go bad I can just buy a new one and saves me a lot of time.
 
*I'm Looking at you S6*
 
The Bad
Quick Charge
This Phone doesn't come with quick charge capable charger. So charging time is longer than my Note 3. This could be a problem if there is no spare battery which means I have to spend longer time to charge my phone. I really hope LG would include quick charge capable charger.
 
The phone itself actually supports it or I think so (Charging using Note 3 charger is faster than using the standard LG G4 charger).
 
* since I made the review I've found out what is eating my battery life so bad. it's dropbox's automatic photo upload *
Battery Life
Battery is like oxygen for any phone. without it, it is basically a brick or an-overly-expensive-paperweight. let me put this straight. the battery life so far is not very good
 
(you can see the battery usage graph on the album I'll link it at the bottom)
 
My Note 3 also struggle in this part, even though I have extra battery I don't think I can give any thumbs up to LG in this part of the review. Even though my country 3G and 4G draining habit affect quite a lot in this part, I still thinks this could be done better. (larger battery maybe?)
 
Conclusion : 51/60
This Is my Next Phone. For the price of around $600 (for US people) and me originally its around $700 but there is a discount so I got it for cheaper price (I don't live in the US) this phone definitely worth every penny. Great Build, Screen, Camera.
 
Even though there are some bad things here and there. overall not bad at all. Great Phone. I would recommend this phone to almost anyone.

what would happened if the phone fell on it's "edge" screen. I mean that edge almost has no bezel. kinda scary IMO. But a pretty nice idea.

YES!! I hope this is the case in the future.

If people said that Linus and other tech channel (non retail) are always positive and have sponsorship bla bla bla, In my Opinion it's true but not fully true.
 
From one side yes linus does have sponsorship, getting financial things from company, get sample, get other stuff (perks, free stuff, giveaways,etc) . But does he always says positive things about product he reviews? NO. Many video in LTT channel where linus went "WTF" or "what the hell are _____[company name] thinking while designing produt" or "you shouldn't buy this product" and many other bad feedback to many products.
 
well...
not much else to say.
Not everything this guy said is true and not everyhting he said is wrong.
 
it depends on how you see it.
if you see this "discussion" (more of a debate i think) from one side, well you'll just see it from one side either linus's or this guy's side.
 
But I think if we just try to see this matter from all sides. then we can find what's true and wrong.
 
Let's not see this discussion from one view.
 
Don't get me wrong, In some ways i realized things from this guy's video. both in positive ways and negative ways.
 
^this is all written based on my opinion^
*pardon my bad writting.

Fractal Design : Once of our closest sponsors
Josh from Fractal Design : Publicly a friend of ours
 
Very recent video largely destroying their product :

 
Description : "Well, if you like seeing me disappointed in a product, I guess you'll enjoy this Core 3500 case review..."
 
BTW Linus and I collaborated on this review
 
ALSO
 
Dark Rock pro 3:

They have been a sponsor before... I called the installation experience "horrific"... Soooo yeahhhhh
 
 
 
Honestly guys I could come up with near endless examples for this
 
Pretty disappointed that this is even happening BUT at the same time I'm happy people were willing to discuss it openly on the forum!
I'm happy we talk about things like this and get over them together rather than let them drive us apart in the long run - Communication is key and I'm with you forever baby <3 :wub:

Even though my PC is not in recommended requirements.
I Really REALLLY Hope that they won't turning down the graphic quality like other games (yea im talking about you watch dogs, bf series, cod series, etc).

I actually disliked automatic overclock. Once I accidentaly press it and my bios went crazy suddenly become very unstable (MSI Board too).
The damage on your board is simillar to my friend's he burn his vrm. RMA is your best option.

THE BEARD
 
The most powerful weapon in any man's arsenal. If used correctly, this object can have the power to turn your average boy into a devastatingly handsome man. So why, then, haven't we seen Linus with a spec of facial hair since his first film debut with the classic Sunbeam Tunic Tower video?  
 
I'm sure he has his reasons...
 

 
This beard is so rare, it's a known fact that even Linus' wife has never seen it. (Really, it's a fact). (I swear...)
In light of all of this, I propose a petition; one where Linus must grow his beard for a minimum of 1 month. This mythical beard has eluded us for too long. We've stuck by him for over 5 years, we've seen his hair greasy and disheveled, we've seen sweat stains under his pits and even... bleach blonde hair... Gross.
A beard, though; A beard would be magnificent. 
 
If we band together, I know we can can(maybe)convince Linus to(maybe) grow his beard out for once. For us. For the children. FOR GOD'S SAKE LINUS, THINK OF THE CHILDREN. 
 
Trust me I'm an expert and this is an excellent idea. 
 
Even Linus agrees.
 
 

Do it Linus!!

I understand, but making the server work reliably must be your priority. Servers by Dell, HP, Lenovo and IBM have all their specifications listed on their respective websites and it can be a good starting point for you to build your own server.
Good Luck!

Oh ok. I think I understand that now.
Thanks dude
