Reading so much about Android Wear, I can not fork out another $200 or $300 until I see devices using Android Wear in action.
My Gear works fine I am planing on watching and waiting.
Anybody else decided to wait it out after the Android Wear watches have been announced?
I am. Really like the looks of the moto 360. And the gear 2 just didnt get me excited.

I've had an LG G Watch since December and was very pleased. Never wore a watch before then. Was impressed at the Android wear system and the convenience of not having to pull my phone out everytime I got a new email or text.
With that said, I was recently given a Galaxy Gear 1st gen, and am totally blown away at the ability to make and receive calls with it. The screen is far more pleasing to the eyes, as well as the Tizen operating system seems to be more pleasing to the eyes also. Within a single day of use, I no longer feel like the LG G Watch stacks up or even competes in the same space.
My 2 Cents.

Interesting. I have been eyeing the G watch for about a week now, tired of having to keep my note 3 in order to have a fully functioning watch. I want to move on to something else and don't care for it to be another Samsung.

That would be the only downside to the Galaxy Gear series. If I didn't have a Samasung phone, I'd still be rocking the LG G Watch. it's a solid device that i've punished over the last 3 months. Like the Timex, it takes a lickin and keeps on tickin. Highly recommended. Especially since the hardware is the same as everything else except it's about half the price.
Well, i downloaded kies 3 and decided to do a firmware update on my Galaxy Gear, and it got stuck at 7%. Now I don't have one =(
Back to the LG G Watch for now
Oh the proverbial rock and hard place.
I got rid of my LG G watch and just sold my Gear S (phenomenal screen BTW). I was going to wait for the Zenwatch 2 to come out in a month but I am missing my watch.
My cousin is selling his Urbane for pretty much what the Zenwatch 2 will cost.. He is OCD like me so its in meticulous condition.
Is it worth it to buy the Urbane now that the next gen are coming out? I consider the Urbane and Watch R as "V1.5" but they do share similar hardware with the "V2.0" watches.
I don't see any exciting new features in the next android wear watches.
The round ones- new 360 and huawei are similar to the urbane, a matter of taste which one to get.
The squares- the sony has no heart rate monitor and the zenwatch2 is square with 2 sizes. I'm not a fan of square watches.
Don't see any competition to the urbane for now
360 still has flat tire
Huawei is more expensive but for that extra $100 I see no new features
It's a perfect watch, but I agree is sort of a 1.5 gen... I just don't know what real second gen watches will bring to the table that software updates won't get us on this watch...
Kinda waiting for Samsung to come out with a nice round watch, since they tend to throw everything but the kitchen sink into them, lol. Would love to have IR blaster, camera and speaker back
I don't think the Zenwatch 2 has a heart rate monitor.
The newly announced watches aren't really a new generation. Their specs match the previously released watches. If the urbane is gen 1.5, then so is everything else that is currently out or was recently announced
I wanted the Zenwatch 2 because, in my mind, it was a compromise from my Gear S and the 2" screen. But if you talk about area, the 1.65" Zenwatch 2 has the same screen area as the Urbane (roughly 1.35 sq inches).
I'm getting the Urbane. I like the looks and really don't want to wait til late October for a watch.
Updates support?
If LG present a new watch in the next weeks (or before the new year), do you think about the Urbane updates?
Do you think that the Urbane will receive updates for at least 24 more months?

Yeah I don't think I'll have this watch in 24 months.
I would think there is some support for the watch up until next year ish.
I'm guessing that all of the snapdragon 400 wear watches will get support and updates for similar amounts of time

If you're right there are good news,
Due to the 2nd generation watches are using this processor
Google is controlling the updates so that's not an issue. It still a great watch, that looks nice (I've lost count on the compliments and the interest others have in me wearing it) that's a solid choice. The newer watches aren't bringing anything new to the table so your not missing much. I'm gonna keep this until the next next gen comes with a speaker.

This is the reason I miss my Gear S. If that watch had Android Wear or even just Android, it would be light years ahead of anything available now.
Agree, but dumb Samsung wants to convince the world otherwise. If it were cross compatible with Android that would totally help their cause. Android Wear is only picking up steam so no sense jumping ship now... kills me since I love them and would totally buy one but I cannot start my car via Tizen.

I have finally bought my Urbane yesterday and probably receive it tomorrow or monday.
A NFC powered watch will be probably useful, but the Urbane can be bought by 250€ in some retailers, and I think the new LG watch (if any) will cost 350-400€ or more.
I think the Urbane is the best watch at this price range.
There's an Android to Gear S port being worked on but I think that is months from being done. I still miss my Gear S but you can't beat Android Wear. I didn't think I would miss my apps but oddly I did.

Silver.
I have not viewed the Rose Gold in real, only in pics.
I like a lot, probably more than the silver,
but because I have not viewed in real and the difficulties to combine the rose gold color with a metal strap,
I have preferred to order the silver.

I already had Tag heuer Mikrograph in Rose Gold so i went for Silver Urbane.
I see that wear 2.0 is released for g watch urbane 2. We can try ti port to our g watch r
Porting, someone can most likely do it, but then again not much activity here as it seems, especially after 6.0 came out. Also I don't quite think we'll get the official release in fall for our R
I found this Informations m. imgur. com / QNhAnvL
Hi saw that urban was one of the 2. Maybe some Guy here can port it here as it as already been done with previous versions.
Anyway if it is made available I will be glad to flash it

Looks like the Original Moto 360 watch will not be updated either now. I was torn between that and my G Watch R, glad I went with the latter.

Yeah I saw that and I'm actually thinking our G watch R could be next not receive it... considering how the wifi update took long to arrive, I have no trust in LG.

Completely agree with you on LG updates. Android 2.0 for the G Watch R will be my deciding factor to whether LG will be in the running for my next watch. The internals are completely capable, but we will see what LG states. Coming up on the 2 year mark with lifespan to... Find out soon enough.

And original G watch was dropped now too, if we get it for our R, it'll be last update for sure.

Even if it is the final update for the GWR it will still garner a fair amount of life from it. being on the latest major revision of Wear. I don't foresee google making another "major revision" within 2 years of 2.0 being out.
To me it makes sense that after 2 years of the first release of Wear they release a new major version to work out bugs/clean up their code. I will not have a problem buying a new watch after 4 years of solid service from my GWR.
Now lets just hope that LG comes through with our update...
Im with you guys. LG g watch r... I have backed a pebble time 2 just in case... Any port news about the 2.0?

I just don't like the urbane. Why couldn't they just make another black watch as well?

if my phone is on MM, and the watch on lolli, can they still work together? thinking of downgrading the watch to lolli.
According to https://www.xda-developers.com/android-oreo-update-is-now-rolling-out-to-android-wear/ , we can get an update any time soon. Did anyone receive the update? If yes, how is it?

Yup read about it. It is strange though as most of the devices have almost similar internals.
Looks like LG want's people to buy the LG watch sport . Spec's are almost the same of most smartwatchs getting the update. Typical LG updates are non existent. I'm done with LG!! Will buy other manufacture watches
Not same processor on all the new watch Wear 2.0 ready
My LG urbane 2 LTE is running 2.0 it's the 3.0/ 8.0 Oreo that it won't be getting. There is not much difference from 2.0 to 3.0
mine is currently showing version 2.7.0 .. curious to see who else gets a newer update.
