    thanks for speedy reply, do you have the lg? one thing im finding hard to establish is the band that comes with lg suitable for a large wrist?
    (i know i can buy a replacement) i had a samsung gear fit and band was on last notch!

    I tried on both and spent a good time with them. Ended up with the moto360 and very happy with it.
    It's really a preference thing. I am happy with the moto as it looks well with whatever I wear.
    I'm wearing it 5 months and have zero regrets. People mention the flat tire on it but I never notice.

    You need to try both before deciding.

    Do you know anywhere that you are able to try them on ?

    LG Urbane smart watch now on Google play €349

    Hi Guys...

    I'm thinking about buy a smartwatch and I'm deciding between LG Watch R and Urbane. They have exactly the same specs and Android version. The only difference is style.

    What do you think about both of them? I'd use it daily (at work for example) and practicing sports (running).

    About smartwatch itself (independently of the model), do you think is it time to buy one? Or it's still too raw..

    Has anyone been having issues with the connection between phone and watch since the wear update?

    I've noticed it happening a couple of times a day and I need to turn Bluetooth on and off or restart the watch to get it going again. I've just turned off the cloud sync to see if it makes a difference.

    There was a bit of weirdness just after I installed the update but everything seems fine now. I think anyway. The ongoing notification about Android Wear is gone but I think that is just a change.

    Yeah I seen that was gone (thankfully!), but it's actually dropping connection with the little cloud on the watch and in the wear app it's just stuck on "connecting".

    Was this the recent update to the app ?

    Yep, I've turned off Cloud Sync and will give it a day to see if it happens again.

    Sell more Urbanes the longer it's held off.

    I doubt there's many people paying an extra €150 purely for wifi support and the ability to draw emojis.

    I'm presuming it would not be a good idea to try and install the zenwatch ota files on my moto 360 ?

    I couldn't see it working out. Ah I'm sure Google will have it sorted for us soon. Or in August.

    Happy new year. Oh look, an update

    Ended up buying the Sony sw3 on a deal on Amazon for 119gbp. I used parcel motel. Seems like a good deal.
