The LG Watch Urbane LTE might look like a regular sports watch, but the similarity stops at the level of appearance. This luxury smartwatch has a whole lot to it more than looks and is nothing like your average Android Wear device. The wearable is the beefed-up version of the LG Watch Urbane and comes with different software (WebOS).

Design and Display
Sporting a stainless steel design like Watch Urbane, this luxury smart watch is bigger in size to provide room for its extra features and bigger battery.
LG Watch Urbane LTE, which is described as the world’s first LTE smart watch by its maker, has three buttons on its side that enable users to perform operations similar to those that can be done on a phone.
It comes with screwed-in rubber band, which means you cannot change the strap. The smartwatch uses 1.3-inch P-OLED display with a resolution of 320 x 320 pixels like the LG Watch Urbane.
Specifications
LG did not use the same Android Wear software used on the Watch Urbane for this one. The Watch Urbane LTE uses new proprietary software called WebOS – also referred to as the LG Wearable Platform Operating System.
It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor running at 1.2GHz and internal storage memory is 4GB. The device is provided with a more powerful battery of 700mAh capacity. In addition to LTE connectivity, LG Watch Urbane LTE supports NFC and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n.
Phone on Your Wrist
Users of the LG Watch Urbane LTE will be able to make and receive calls as well as messages directly on the device. These phone calls are made over VoLTE. This is different from calls made by other wearable such as LG Watch Urbane, which rely on a smartphone to do so.
The smart watch has a feature that enables users to talk to multiple people simultaneously. It also has an emergency feature than enables you make a call by just pressing down a button, while your location is forwarded to the person being called at the same time.
LG Watch Urbane LTE supports mobile payments through the use of the integrated NFC radio. The IP67-certified smart watch has several other features, including a heart rate monitor, accelerometer and barometer.
Pricing and availability
The price and availability of the LG Watch Urbane LTE is not yet known.
