If a recent trademark filing is any indication, LG could soon unveil a deluxe version of its LG Watch Urbane smartwatch. The filing is for a device known as the LG Watch Urbane Luxe but it provides little else to go on.
The name alone suggests that it will be very similar to the LG Watch Urbane which sells for about US$350 (CA$400). This higher-end version would likely use more expensive materials for the case and strap. What other features would give this new model its Luxe designation remains to be seen.
The LG Watch Urbane Luxe would presumably run Android Wear but the LG Watch Urbane LTE which is more of a distant cousin to the Watch Urbane than a sibling runs LG’s own LG Wearable Platform which is based on webOS. Could this be another differentiator?
Less plausible is the possibility that the LG Watch Urbane Luxe could be a successor to the current model. If so, we may not see LG officially announce it until sometime next year.
There is no word yet on if and when LG could announce the LG Watch Urbane Luxe. It’s also not clear when it would launch and how much it would cost (except that it will likely be more expensive than the regular Watch Urbane).
We’ll just have to see how this story develops over the coming days and weeks.
