LG Watch Urbane Comes To India

LG announced the launch of its much awaited smartwatch, the LG Watch Urbane in India. It is the first new smartwatch powered by the latest version of Android Wear which works with smartphones running Android 4.3 and above. 



The LG Watch Urbane was globally unveiled at the MWC this year at Barcelona. It has a full metal body with a stitched genuine leather strap. Users can exchange the band with any 22mm leather, silicone or metal strap which other competing smartwatches don't offer. Features includes Wi-Fi connectivity, always-on apps to keep the display from going dark when running, navigating and an improved UX. It also includes the ability to change the font size and see notifications even when looking at another function on the display, such as directions. It also offers the screen on the LG Watch Ur-bane to lock automatically when it is removed from the wrist. The smartwatch also has 2 useful features- LG Call and LG Pulse. LG Call allows the wearer to access recent calls and the favorite contacts list on the connected smartphone to dial out directly from the watch. When connected to a Bluetooth headset users don't need to remove the phone from one’s pocket to place a call. And LG Pulse measures the wearer’s heart rate every second during exercise with no maximum time limit. It will report the average heart rate over the entire duration of the activity and display a heart rate graph on LG Health (coming soon).

The LG Smartwatch will be available in India for Rs. 30,000. The stainless steel body is available in two colors, luxurious polished rose gold and silver.
