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.

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.

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?

Been watching YouTube videos and reading reviews today comparing the LG G watch R against the Moto 360. I have to be honest, I marginally prefer the look of the moto 360, but the faster processor, better battery life and easier interchangeable straps has swayed my decision to the lg, thinking a nice to red strap will look awesome. Also, wife is buying it for me and she preferred the LG. Managed to nab one from flubit for £210, was pretty happy with that. Will post opinions if anyone is interested when it arrives. Just need to convince her in doors that I now need a Note 4 to go with it. Think that will be a harder sell.
I had a 360 ordered but went for a lgr of the same reason as you. I really like lgr and I'm not sorry that I didn't go for 360.
The fact that it has a bigger battery sealed the deal for me. I've been wearing it 10am this morning and loving every second of it. It so accurate with text too. even curse words. its insane. I already switched the straps on mine.
I changed the strap to a metal band with a clasp though it's hard to put on the charger..

What band? Do you have any pics of it on the watch? A link where to buy it, if you bought it online?
Ive had the 360 for a few weeks now and grabbed the GWR yesterday. I think Ill keep both as the Moto looks a lil more dressy with the metal band on it. I am however REALLY enjoying the LG so far.
i have the possibility to buy a new smartwatch 3 for 60€. I prefer a lot this g watch r, it is way better in his design, but it costs 270€ and have the same hardware of smartwatch 3. what do you think about? At the moment (first generation of wearable etc etc) is better a lg g watch r for 270€ or smartwatch 3 for 60€?

yes but there is 210€ of difference for the only design (same specs), I think that is too high, specially because they are the first generation.

It was a good band but not convenient to use on the cradle
I wonder if there would be a good way to mount the cradle for easier use with metal bands like that.
If you flip the watch upside down it works but I didn't like that so I went to the stock band and now I actually like it
LG plans to release this year a new Smartwatch after they are saying is a two colours variant and very stylish. The new LG device will be launched at MWC and will have almost the same configuration as LG Watch R has it! The new model is called LG Watch Urbane.

It's progress, but still not impressed.

The Moto 360 has a great disadvantage: because it dosent have an amoled screen it dosent last a full day when always on (ambient mode).

What I would like is an LG Watch R (the same looks) but with LTE. Somehow the Urbane looks do not wow me but of course its all a matter of opinion. Just like to me the 360 looks better on pics than in real life (and of course the flat tire which for me, its a HUGE deal breaker).
Sewrizer said:

Well, the watch looks, in my opinion, like jewelry. Nothing bad here in terms of design, however I would not wear it with any type of clothing. I don't see myself playing basketball or running while wearing this watch. Instead, I would use it at certain evens, it should look great with a suit or something semi-formal. It may be an exaggeration on my part, but I thing it is of extremely poor taste to wear jewelry with a sweater, which is why I used to have two watches(a "sport" watch and a more classy one) which I wore depending on the circumstances. Nowadays, on the other hand, I only wear my Sony Smartwatch 2(I switch between a leather bracelet and the stock silicone one depending on the type of activity I am doing), which seems to have the best of both worlds. The way I see it, a smartwatch should be the only watch a person uses if one choses to own one and this can only be achieved if it can be worn regardless of the event, weather conditions, activity and clothing.
Leaving aside the "fashion" argument, LG G watch Urbane is smaller than Moto 360 and the bezel is thicker, which makes it less comfortable to use. Basically, LG tried to make it look as close as possible to a regular watch. While it did a good job integrating "smart" functions while preserving the traditional aspect of a watch, I feel that the direction which Motorola took makes for a better user experience.
Nevertheless, the LG G watch is a very good looking smart watch.

I fist wanted to buy 360 but gave up after trying it on my wrist, it looks like putting a clock with strap on my wrist! And I ended up buying the Asus Zenwatch.
I have the Moto 360 and wished I could use some simple and classic black watchfaces like the ones available on the LG Urbane http://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?p=4399491
I use it with a suit every day and it would look great disguising the flat tire.

It should be, it should be the same, I hope we can try soon!
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?

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.

Honestly i haven't researched specs in a while. but i would imagine after 2 years processor, amount of storage, and battery life would be noticably better in a new gen device. larger storage will be a bigger deal on 2.0 with some apps being stand-alone on the watch.

Android wear smartwatches actually haven't come very far at all. With some of the newer smartwatches you'll get GPS and speaker functionality. Apart from that battery life will be roughly the same or worse(due to gps etc) and the processor is identical just physically smaller so devices can be thinner. If you want a smartwatch now choose one based on aesthetics and capability to run android wear 2.0 (which the G watch R will).
For now, I think the G Watch R and the newer smartwatches are not so different. Same cpu, same memory same batteries... But the next gen should bring important improvements such as speakers and nfc, at least.

There is no doubt about LG G R one of the best watches released so far. But i would rather recommend Asus zen watch 3 or any other watch release recently.
This is to make sure that you get update at least for next 2 to 3 years. And also i would recommend watches with speaker.
Got a used one for 85 euros now
I bought mine about 3 months ago. There isn't any recent custom roms for it. That kinda sucks but for a smartwatch, it seems fine especially for the difference in the amount of $ you'll spend on something new. Its even still receiving updates as of the other day. Go for it!!!
i just miss a speaker on the g watch r.. you dont hear alarms or anything else if you dont wear the watch.
Hi guys, I've just received update to M1D65H...just wondering what's new, because watch doesn't let me update them for low battery . I assume it is not already a Wear 2.0 update as build number still starts with "M" letter.

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.
