23-Karat Gold LG Watch Urbane Luxe Announced

Earlier this year the LG Watch Urbane was announced. This was probably the classiest smartwatch we’ve seen from LG and probably from other smartwatch makers as well, but it looks like LG will be taking it to an even higher level. The company has officially announced the LG Watch Urbane Luxe, which is basically a 23-karat gold version of the original.

This essentially confirms our earlier rumor that LG had a more premium version of the Watch Urbane in the works. The watch will be given the 23-karat gold treatment and will come with an alligator leather strap, and will be sold inside a piano-gloss lacquer case, which you can check out in the photos below.

The LG Watch Urbane is the result of a collaboration between REEDS Jewelers from the US and LG. Unfortunately given the choice of premium materials, the LG Watch Urbane Luxe will not come cheap and it will be priced at around $1,200, although admittedly it is still much more affordable when compared to the Apple Watch Edition.

The watch will also be limited in quantity with 500 units produced. Each will be engraved with its own serial number and will be available for pre-order via REEDS’ website later this month, and it is expected to be released in October.
