LG Watch Urbane

32 'LG Watch Urbane' stories February 2015 - June 2015

The LG Watch Urbane might look a little familiar if you’re an Android Wear junkie, and that’s because it’s very similar in appearance to LG’s sporty offering the LG G Watch R. But the similarities don’t stop with appearance. As a whole, the LG Watch Urbane is more different in its name than basically anywhere else—the internals are almost exactly identical to that of the now-discontinued G Watch R.

The device sports a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, the usual 4 GB of storage and 512 MB of RAM that you may notice is common with Android Wear devices, an OLED screen, a 410 mAh battery, and more. But most of all, the LG Watch Urbane, as its name suggests, is probably one of the most classy of the current Android Wear lineup in appearance.

LG has been around the Android Wear scene since the beginning. First we saw the original G Watch, then came the G Watch R, but this year LG is raising the bar in a big way. For 2015, LG has two new offerings. One of which is a stylistic upgrade over the G Watch R and another that takes its wearable mission outside of the Android Wear space altogether. Today we’re taking a quick look at LG’s Watch Urbane and Urbane LTE. How do these watches compare to previous releases from LG? Well, let’s go ahead and find out…

Gorgeous design of the LG Watch Urbane shown off in new promo (Video)

LG announced the LG Watch Urbane earlier this month, and the first impression of many was that it was entering the market to compete with the to-be-released Apple Watch. But whether or not that was the Korean company’s intention with this device, it’s undeniably classy and gorgeous. Now LG has given us a better look at the upcoming Android Wear watch, showing all its edges from dozens of angles in a new promotional video…

The device is basically a G Watch R in a different body, sporting IP67 dust and water resistance, a thinner bezel, and either a gold or silver trim. LG says that the details you’re probably interested in—like its price and release date—will be unveiled next week at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. We’ll be on the ground to keep you in the loop, so stay tuned for more information on this beautiful watch.
