LG announced earlier this week that its latest smartwatch, the LG Watch Urbane, was going to launch this week in Korea, and it has now done so overnight. Hosted on the Google Play Store, we’re now finally able to see what this new premium smartwatch from LG is going to cost, and surprisingly it doesn’t look like the premium-marketed smartwatch is going to break the bank. In equivalent US dollar terms, LG’s last smartwatch, the LG G Watch R, launched at about $332 and the LG Watch Urbane is going to cost a little more at $365. Whether that same difference in pricing carries over when it crosses the oceans is anybody’s guess, but it’s certainly not so much more that it makes it inaccessible to the average Android enthusiast.
As mentioned in LG’s announcement a few days ago, the LG Watch Urbane will be the first Android Wear device to get the latest update which introduces a spate of great new features including Wi-Fi support, which will allow your phone and watch to stay connected as long as your watch maintains a Wi-Fi connection and your phone has a mobile data connection. We’re interested to see how the watch is actually received when people start getting it into their hands so stay tuned.
