LG introduced the LG Watch Urbane Luxe, a premium limited edition smartwatch developed in collaboration with REEDS Jewelers. The smartwatch is covered in 23-karat gold and features a gorgeous alligator leather strap. 500 LG Watch Urbane Luxe smartwatches will be released and will retail for about $1,200.
“Wearable devices shouldn’t be thought of as an extension of one’s smartphone but an extension of oneself,” said Chris Yie, vice president and head of marketing communications for LG Mobile Communications Company. “This blending of craftsmanship and technology is a natural evolution of the smartwatch, which is becoming more of a lifestyle accessory than a piece of hardware. We think this is a good direction for wearables and we want to encourage this transformation.”
