LG Announces New “Watch Urbane” Smartwatch, Runs Android Wear

It’s been quite a while since LG released their first circular Android Wear smartwatch, the G Watch R, and now they’ve revealed another one which is also circlular. But of course, more luxurious.

The new watch is apparently called Watch Urbane, and it shares a lot of similarities with the older G Watch R. The first, being the circlular 1.3-inch P-OLED display. However, the bezel on this one is a bit thinner, but not thin enough to make it as appealing as the Moto 360.

Another thing that’s different is the gold and silver finish accompanied with the 22mm leather straps. Full specs of the watch are as follows:

• 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)
• Colors: Gold / Silver
• Other: Dust and Water Resistant (IP67)

The watch is expected to be released during MWC next month.
