Gone is the matte-finish steel casing. It was serious and understated but had an air of plastic about it. Instead, there's now an uncolored brushed-steel casing, which reinforces the Urbane's premium credentials. The markers around the bezel have gone, to...

I just can't see the LG Watch Urbane LTE setting the world on fire. Like the Gear S, it just doesn't feel like the way to go with smartwatches. It's a chunky thing, even for a regular sports watch wearer, and that's a big problem. The saving grace could...
