The Design
This smart watch features an all-metal design. LG Watch Urbane looks a lot like your regular watch, but with a more elegant design. The body is made of polished gold or silver steel to give its users a touch of class.
The toned nature of its steel body makes the smart watch look fancier than the earlier LG G Watch R. LG Watch Urbane sports a slightly slimmer profile than its predecessor and has a smaller bezel.
Specifications
LG sticks with the same P-OLED display as used on G Watch R for Watch Urbane. The new smart watch features a 1.3-inch display with a resolution of 320 x 320 pixels and density of 245 pixels per inch. The screen is not as sunken as the LG G Watch R to ensure touching and swiping are a whole lot easier.
LG Watch Urbane is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor capable of delivering speeds up to 1.2GHz. As you already figured, the smart watch runs on Android Wear software. It is provided with 4GB of storage space and RAM of 512MB, which is standard to Android Wear.
The other features on LG Watch Urbane, which uses a battery with a capacity of 410mAh, include heart rate sensor for fitness activity and a barometer. The smart watch has IP67 certification, meaning that it is both water and dust resistant.
However, this does not necessarily mean you are free to bath or go swimming with it on. LG Watch Urban features a 22mm natural, stitched leather strap, which can be swapped for regular 22mm bands if you do not like the original one that comes with the smart watch.
There is no definite information yet on when LG Watch Urbane will be available and how much its price will be.
