LG Watch Urbane 2nd on iPhone - how is it working out for you guys?

[lordcares]

I'm coming from Pebble -> AW -> Pebble Time to this watch.

Compared to AW, this thing has that beautiful, round look. Compared to Pebble, again it has that beautiful, round look + bright crisp screen.

Here are a few of my problems so far (may / may not be because of iOS)

1. The vibration is WAY too weak! I hardly notice it even when I'm expecting it. I don't think I'd feel it at all when I'm moving around. Pebble offers 3~4 steps of vibration, and I think even the weakest setting would be at least as strong as the LG Watch. Why isn't there an option to make it stronger?

2. The calls I get on my iPhone is not showing on the watch. I don't expect to be able to answer calls on the watch, but at least it needs to show me that I'm getting a call right? If Pebble can show me incoming calls, this thing has got to be able to, right? Am I missing something?

3. Cards. They are annoying. Message cards pop up all the time if I don't dismiss them, but when I dismiss them there is no way of seeing them again. Is this how it is supposed to be?

A few other issues here and there, but this is all I remember for now. Thanks for your input folks!

To get calls go to settings, Bluetooth, play phone audio on watch.

Seems on iOS, you don't get the bluetooth section in settings...

Also, I can't seem to get my calendar events on the "agenda" app. I tried using the apple calendar, and also Goolge calendar, but no matter what I do doesn't seem to work?

That's not iOS's problem. The watch is to use NumberSync or sharing out of box. With this feature on, the selection will not be there. You have to deactivate NumberSync if you are on AT&T or disable sharing in advanced cellular setting if you are not on AT&T before you can see the BT setting.

Agenda app only shows calendar events for current day.

So when Number sync is activated you can't use a Bluetooth headset to take phone calls through your watch? With VZWs method of syncing numbers to different devices the Bluetooth menu is still there but you don't get the option to choose to play phone audio on watch. That option is taken away from the Bluetooth menu, it's active automatically. I would have thought it would be the same for ATT.

That's how the watch is designed to do. Obviously LG thinks using watch to pick up phone calls from phone is kind of useless feature NO ONE ever will use

I tried doing both, and also turned the watch off and on. I still don't see the bluetooth option though I'm trying resetting the watch.

I have at least 3~4 events every day. It shows nothing though.
