The Watch Urbane has a 1.3-inch 320 x 320 display with 245 ppi.This may not be the cleanest resolution around, but you'll still need to whip out the monocle if you're to spot any kind of pixellation on it. A single charge of the 410mAh battery will last you a good two days. Running the whole show is Android Wear, with version 5.1.1 available out of the box. The most noteworthy feature in this version is Wi-Fi support, which means that you can send messages and use online apps even if you're not in range of your phone.
