Samsung Gear S2 vs LG Watch Urbane: first look

Samsung’s experience in the smart wearables category is, at this point, second to none, and the company seems to have learned quite a lot in the past year and a half. All this knowledge is now being made good use of with the company’s new Gear S2 smartwatch, powered once again by Tizen, not Google’s Android Wear platform. And while the smartwatch scene is getting more and more crowded, one of the most obvious competitors of the S2 will be cross-town rival LG’s Watch Urbane, which is nevertheless at a distinct disadvantage: it was made official half a year ago.
