LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE Launches in U.S.

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., March 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The LG Watch Urbane™ 2^nd Edition LTE – the first Android Wear smartwatch with cellular connectivity that lets you make and receive calls right from your wrist – is now available for pre-order at AT&T and Verizon stores and ATT.com and Verizon.com.

With a classic timepiece design featuring a hairline-etched stainless steel body, durable hypoallergenic TPSiV™ elastomer band and a full circle 348ppi P-OLED display, this smartwatch sports three buttons on the right side to provide quick access to shortcut, LG Health and other apps. Plus, it's compatible with Android smartphones¹ including the all new LG G5, which arrive at Amazon, AT&T, Best Buy, Best Buy Mobile, B&H, Costco, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular and Verizon in April.

"The future is here. With the LG Watch Urbane™ 2^nd Edition LTE, our customers can get even more functionality out of their wearables, in a way that used to seem like something only out of science fiction," said Morris Lee, President of LG Electronics Mobile USA and Head of North America Mobile Business. "To be able to make and receive calls, right from a device that is not only a smartwatch, but looks like a beautiful classic design, is yet another example of LG's practical innovation and on-going desire to help ensure that life's good!"

LG's newest smartwatch works when paired or it can go alone, when carrying a smartphone isn't practical or convenient like morning runs or a match on the tennis court. And its high-capacity 570mAh battery and Power Saving Mode lets the smartwatch last throughout the day with power to spare.² There's also an Ambient mode that can be enabled or disabled with the simple press of the crown button.

AT&T customers can now pre-order the LG Watch Urbane™ 2nd Edition LTE, compatible with NumberSync, at www.att.com and AT&T stores. LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE is the first Android Wear device enabled with NumberSync, which allows you to send and receive texts, as well as make and receive calls from your smartwatch using the same number that your friends, family, and colleagues already recognize, even when your phone isn't nearby. It is available now for $99.99 on a two-year agreement when you buy a LG G5 on AT&T Next.³

The LG Watch Urbane 2^nd Edition LTE is also now available for pre-order at Verizon for $449.99 with a new two-year contract or $499.99 at full retail price. Verizon customers will enjoy one of the first 4G LTE smartwatches available on Verizon and can add it to existing plans for $5 per month⁴.
