On a press release LG has officially announced that their new flagship watch which is mostly know as "Watch Urbane" will be available on Google Store for 13 countries by the end of this month.
According to the source the 13 countries may be:
- Australia
- Canada
- France
- Germany
- Hong Kong
- India
- Ireland
- Italy
- Japan
- Korea
- Spain
- The United Kingdom
- The United States
When it come to hardware and the design, the LG Watch Urbane and the LG Watch R seems almost similar though LG has claimed that they have reduced the size of the circular bezel. If we keep aside the size of the circular bezel, case and stripe materials, everything else are the same. The hardware used are: Snapdragon 400 processor, 1.3" P-OLED display, 4GB of storage, 512MB of RAM, and a 410mAh battery which were used on its predecessor, the G Watch R also.
Though the hardware are same with the LG Watch R, the Watch urbane will come with 2 new features: LG Call & LG Pulse. The LG call will show you your favorite contacts and the most recent calls and you can directly call from your watch. Quite handy! Isn't it? LG Pulse will measure your heart rate/pulse every second. Hopefully the LG Watch Urbane will come with Android Lollipop 5.1 out of the box....
