While there are innumerable smartwatches on the market, LG’s newly announced second-generation Watch Urbane is the first Android Wear smartwatch with LTE. The new Watch Urbane LTE is the very definition of a luxury watch that doubles as a digital companion. It offers typical biometric measurements, including a heart-rate sensor, barometer, pedometer, gyroscope and compass, but has markedly taken it up a notch with the addition of new features.

The new smartwatch has a round 1.33-inch P-OLED display with 480 X 480 resolution, compared to the original Urbane’s 1.3-inch 320 X 320 resolution. Available in an array of colors matching the LG V10 smartphone, the watch has a 316L stainless steal casing making it water and dust-resistant. The sleek, polished exteriors encompass a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, 768MB of Ram and 4GB of internal storage. The Wi-Fi and Cellular antennas have been fixed inside the band and not the watchcase. Another distinguishing feature aside from the faster cellular connectivity is the battery life. Watch Urbane’s higher-capacity 570 mAh battery is significantly superior to that of its competitors.
