LG Unveils Urbane
Aimed at appealing to cosmopolitan wearers, the Urbane makes for an excellent, sophisticated smartwatch
LG finally unveiled its next wearable device, the LG Watch Urbane, at Mobile World Congress, 2015.
There’s only one word for it — extraordinary
The smartwatch proves to be a perfect device for those wearers who look to add sophistication as well as high-tech blaze to their trending lives.
While the LG G Watch R, LG’s first smartwatch (released in October 2014) featured a full circular Plastic OLED display and was aimed at Active users, the recent launch is more formal with elegant design making it quintessential for both the genders.
LG combines the aesthetic design with ingenious features, thus raising the already high standards set by its predecessor.
The Android Wear-powered LG Watch Urbane seems to be made for the luxury class as all the premium materials have been used by the company. The all-metal luxury Android Wear device is purely designed for an elegant and well bred wearer that expects exceptional technology and performance.
The display is much alike the LG G Watch R with the same 1.3-inch full circle P-OLED display, but the minimal bezel surrounding it gives it a more classy look. The body is made of stainless steel available in polished silver and gold finish. Keeping the screw out of sight, the beautiful stitched leather strap which can be replaced with any 22 mm wide band depending on the occasion and the wearer’s mood, makes the watch exclusive, and customisable.
The smartwatch is also compatible with all the smartphones running Android 4.3 and above, adding to the universal appeal of the watch.
The device also includes a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor that can measure a wearer’s average pulse and heart rate during exercise. The time is displayed at all the times with the always-on ambient mode, thus saving the battery life. Speaking of which, the battery standing at 410 mAh is pretty decent.
The device sports a 1.2 GHz processor manufactured by Qualcomm — Snapdragon 800, which runs on the Android Wear operating system.
The President and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company, Juno Cho has said that, the LG Watch Urbane’s classic design and smart features make it the perfect smartwatch to complement the G Watch and G Watch R, which were designed as more casual and active devices. He also added that the LG Watch Urbane is an important part of the company’s strategy to develop wearable devices that are worn and viewed as everyday accessories, not electronic gadgets.
The smartwatch seems to be impressive and would be picked by the cosmopolitan wearers to add sophistication to their stylish lifestyle. Also, the innovative features of the device, will make the wearer’s life easier.
