LG Watch Urbane Price News, Rumors: Smartwatch Could Be Most Expensive In Market

By David Robertson, Christian Post Contributor Sunday, March 29, 2015

Announced several weeks ago, LG's brand New Watch Urbane LTE is probably among the best-looking smartwatches in recent memory.

The device's circular display and really crisp colors make it stand out compared to brands.

However, all these features come with a price.

According to a report by TechnoBuffalo, the LG Watch Urbane LTE will not come cheap, retailing at 650,000 Korean Won, or approximately $588.

If this pricing detail is spot on, then the Watch Urbane LTE smartwatch would be more expensive than most midrange, and even a few high-end smartphones.

In the report, the LG Watch Urbane LTE will boast a 1.3-inch display with 320 x 320 resolution, a powerful Snapdragon 400 processor and 1GB of RAM for multitasking capabilities.

Other specs include 4GB of built-in storage, a 700mAh battery, and LG's own take of Android Wear.

Completing the features list for the device are a stainless steel body, a heart rate monitor, SIM support, and LTE connectivity.

While the "regular" LG Watch Urbane is already available in the US through AT&T, it is still unclear whether the LTE-capable edition would make its way overseas as well.
