I bought an LG Urbana a while back, mostly because I wanted to get a watch after going most of my life. The fact that I could get a tech toy at the same time was good enough (+I wanted to eventually play around with Android Wear). The Urbana was the first watch that appealed to me aesthetically which is why I decided to buy it. Here's how I use it:
- Tell the time [often]
- Quickly browse mail and instant messages to see if it's worth getting the smartphone from the pocket. Side benefit: I use my cell in public a lot less and communicate more like a human being. Mostly just quick glance at the watch instead of being distracted into doing a bunch of stuff with the cell while sitting at a table with other peopel [often]
- Navigate via Google Maps while on foot in a city I'm not familiar with [occasionally]
- Maybe strange: Call notification via watch vibration = no missed calls (I missed some on standard cell vibration which is bad since I have my phone on vibrate 100% of the time)
It's only very simple stuff really but well worth it for me. Battery time is bad compared to Pebbles but I don't care because I take off the watch when I sleep and put it on the charger and it gets roughly two days without charging.
