Now that Google officially announced that it has added cellular support to Android Wear, it’s time that we’re updated as to when we can get our hands on the first Android Wear watch equipped with cellular connectivity—the LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition. This new smartwatch is expected to be available soon in South Korea and the US. Key markets in the Commonwealth of Independent States, Asia, and Europe will also receive the smartwatch.
The new LG Watch Urbane now comes with cellular connection which means you don’t need to depend on WiFi or Bluetooth to receive messages or calls. No need to bring your smartphone either when going on a quick run but are expecting an important call because anyone can reach you now.
Your smartwatch no longer needs tethered assistance from a smartphone because Verizon will soon release the Watch Urbane from LG. The wearable comes equipped with a 348ppi P-OLED display screen, stainless steel body, and three buttons on the right side that can be set for quick access to some of your favorite apps or settings. It features a Power Saving Mode and a 570mAH battery that can last up to one whole day on a single charge.
Verizon has just opened pre-order for the LG Watch Urbane 2nd LTE. Price tag reads $499.99. You can get it for $449.99 with a 2-year activation. The network will soon start shipment while smartwatch will be available for purchase in stores and online on the 19th of November. If you already have a plan under Verizon, just add $5 monthly fee on top of your bill.
AT&T also started offering the LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition online and in stores last Friday, November 6.
