With the days counting down until Apple’s presumed Watch press event, the fever pitch for wearables is about to reach an explosive high. LG, having already tested its hand with both the Android Wear-launch G Watch and subsequent LG G Watch R (the platform’s second circular smartwatch), is set to release the upcoming LG Urbane, and AT&T has wasted no time in announcing it will be selling the non SIM-smooching device.

While pricing, availability, and additional details are to be forthcoming at a future time, the fact that a major US carrier has already committed to this fascinating new product’s release can only mean good things are in store for LG. It’s highly likely that in the coming hours, days, and weeks, more carriers will jump on-board.

The LG Watch Urbane, presumably a play on the word “Urban”, is a stylish yet slightly rugged smartwatch that makes full use of metal and a plastic OLED display making it essentially a remixed G Watch R. The full list of features include:

  • 1.3-inch POLED display with resolution of 320×320, 245PPI
  • 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor
  • 512MB of RAM
  • 4GB of internal storage
  • 410mAh battery
  • Bluetooth 4.0
  • Sensors: 9-axis, PPG, Barometer, heart rate monitor
  • IP67 waterproofing
  • Compatible with watch bands 22mm in size
  • Android Wear OS
