Intuitive interface
Either the dial or swiping can be used to navigate between screens. You access widgets right of the watchface and notifications left of the watchface. You can use the dial to select an app, a button on the side to take a step back or a different button on the side to return to the homescreen.

Con
Tizen ecosystem lacks quality apps
S2 runs Samsung's own Tizen operating system. It currently has a lot less apps than Android Wear or Apple's Watch OS and a lot of third-party apps perform badly on the device. It's unclear if developers will start to develop Tizen apps in the near future.

Con
Proprietary strap mounts on the standard model
Because the strap mounts for the standard model are unique, it will be difficult to find different straps to use with the watch. The S2 Classic has standard 20mm quick-release pins, but that is not available as a 3G variant.

Built-in Wi-Fi
If your watch is out of bluetooth range of your phone, it will connect to available Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi takes more power than bluetooth, but it allows you to not have to carry your phone all the time and still receive notifications.

Con
Lacks built-in GPS
Some smartwatches have built-in GPS which allows them to track runs without needing to carry your phone with you, allowing you to use your watch as a fitness tracker. The Urbane doesn't have this ability.

Pro
Classical style
The bezel isn't too large, and especially from a distance it could be mistaken for a regular watch. It's the type of watch that you can wear everyday, even to work without looking like a computer on your wrist.

Bulky
The G Watch R is 10.9mm thick and weighs 66g. It will take some time to get used to wearing it, especially if you previously haven't worn a watch.

Decent battery life
The watch will always allow for at least a full day (unless you are constantly playing games on it), but usually will last for 2 full days even with ambient mode on (always on). The OLED display helps with this - with a black background for watch faces the display isn't lighting up the black pixels, greatly reducing the power draw in ambient mode.
