The LG Urbane was announced last month as the world’s first LTE smartwatch, and it is primed to go on sale tomorrow in South Korea. The non-Android Wear device packs the ability to support SIM cards allowing it to make its own phone calls. However, to do such things it looks like users will have to pay a pretty penny.
The device looks to be going on sale for 650,000 KRW or about $590. For those doing the math, that’s more than double for most Android Wear watches and considerably more expensive than the $349 Apple Watch.
For those that just want the watch to be connected their phone, it does so via Bluetooth as well. Well, for any device running Android 4.4 or above. The watch does feature stainless steel, a 1.3-inch P-OLED circular display at 320×320 pixel, 1GB of RAM, a quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, and a 700 mAh battery. It comes with the dust- and water-resistant IP67 certification for those worried about damaging it.
But the question still remains, if the Urbane LTE comes in at a similar price point in America, will you get one? Let us know below.
