Same hardware, now in a suit and tie
The LG G Watch R is about to get a classier sibling in the form of the LG Watch Urbane.
The new smartwatch appears to be based on the same hardware, but it has a new brand and a new look.
The watch drops the chrono look pioneered by the G Watch R. The design is understated, so it’s a bit more elegant and suitable even in formal occasions. The construction is all-metal, apart from the standard leather strap.
The LG Watch Urbane measures 45.5 x 52.2 x 10.9mm. As far as the specs go, there are no surprises – we are looking at a repackaged G Watch R. Under the bonnet you’ll find a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon, 512MB of LPDDR2, 4GB of NAND storage and LG’s trademark circular 1.3-inch P-OLED display in 320×320.
LG said the watch is set to debut at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, but there is still no word on pricing or availability.
