    The backbone of LG’s showing at Mobile World Congress 2015 was its newest pair of smartwatches: the Watch Urbane and Watch Urbane LTE. Although the two wearables share similar names, they’re distinctly different devices. The larger and thicker Watch Urbane LTE version supports, you guessed it, LTE, as well as NFC, allowing it to perform smartphone-style functions without the need for an actual smartphone. It also comes with LG's own smartwatch software platform, the unimaginatively titled but ambitious Wearable Platform Operating System. The smaller and slimmer Watch Urbane, meanwhile, is essentially a more stylish version of last year’s G Watch R, complete with a new metal coat and the same Android Wear OS.

    I think it's going to confuse the hell out of people that the "LG Watch Urbane" and "LG Watch Urbane LTE" run two entirely different operating systems with different user interfaces. If you thought "Surface RT" and "Surface Pro" confused people, you ain't seen nothing yet.
