The LG Watch Urbane Is Coming To The Google Store This Month!
Another Android Wear watch will soon be available in Canada and this one may be the sleekest one yet. LG announced earlier today that their stylish new LG Watch Urbane will be made available in several countries (including Canada!) this month via the Google Store. Here’s a rundown of the Watch Urbane
- Chipset: 1.2GHz Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 400
- Operating System: Android Wear™
- Display: 1.3-inch P-OLED Display (320 x 320, 245ppi)
- Size: 45.5 x 52.2 x 10.9mm
- Memory: 4GB eMMC / 512MB LPDDR2
- Battery: 410mAh
- Sensors: 9-Axis (Gyro/ Accelerometer / Compass) / Barometer /PPG (Heart Rate Sensor)
- Color: Rose Gold / Silver
- Other: Dust and Water Resistance (IP67)
The specs themselves are pretty run of the mill but where the Watch Urbane really shines is in its design. Like the Moto 360, the Watch Urbane features a circular watch face minus the much maligned flat tire. It also features a stainless steel body in either rose gold or silver and a genuine stitched leather strap. Speaking of the strap, LG is quick to point out that “unlike other competing smartwatches, the band can be exchanged with any replacement 22mm leather, silicone or metal strap for the ultimate convenience and personalization.”
Unfortunately, pricing wasn’t made available in the press release but you have to imagine that this particular watch is going to come with a higher price tag. My best guess is $350-$400 given that the G Watch R goes for $300+ through most online retailers.
