LGE Watch Urbane 2nd Edition non-preview image This time wayback machine helped me. But I don't think there is any reason to go back.

The way I understand Feb 15 is that Google only gives the sources to watch producers. And from that day they can start working on their own releases.

Cannot comment on Android Pay as I'm not using it, but Maps and Google Assistant works on AW 2.0 DP4 on Watch Urbane 2. So I expect it had some connectivity issues. As for the wifi, it will not connect to any network unless you connect with your phone to the same network first.

You can get one from China for $7.50 - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Woweinew-USB-Charging-Cradle-Dock-Charger-Station-For-LG-Urbane-2-W200-Smart-watch-Free-shipping/32784433852.html. As someone already mentioned, the magnet is not as strong as the original one, but it is still enough.

Yes, it happens all the time, I cannot use always on mode at all. Edit: setting brightness to a higher level helps - see https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=230286

With cell turned off I can get 2-3 days of usage. With cell on, it gets to 1-2 days.

Have you unlocked your bootloader with fastboot oem unlock?

With AW2.0 it can be really a separate device, but most of the apps don't support that and won't work without a phone. It will definitely get better with the final release and soon after.

I've seen big difference in battery drain based on watch face. I decided to stick to Elements Analog, as I had issues with some of the AW1.5 watch faces.

Yes, you can, mine works fine.

In bootloader mode, try "fastboot devices" instead.

I've tried to install multiple phone apps (not their wear versions) on AW2.0 and even though some of them worked, their UI is not prepared for such a small screen. So even if you manage to run regular Android on the watch, many (most?) apps will be unusable due to the inability to correctly show...

Small update: on AW2.0 DP4 call notification works even without setting 'play phone audio on watch', active BT connection is enough. So it works and does not collide with hands-free.
