The retail price of this watch is approximately USD1,200. In my opinion, if you are looking for a smartwatch now, the best bet is an Android Wear watch as there are many brands to choose from and they are getting better with every edition.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the Press Release<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Press Release<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">LG WATCH URBANE LUXE, AN EXQUISITE SMARTWATCH<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Limited Edition Device from LG is More Jewelry Than Wearable<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>SEOUL<\/strong><strong>, <\/strong><strong>Aug.<\/strong><strong>31<\/strong><strong>, 2015 <\/strong><strong>\u2014 <\/strong>In collaboration with U.S. retail jewelry company REEDS Jewelers, LG Electronics (LG) will introduce a premium limited edition smartwatch, LG Watch Urbane Luxe. This luxurious wearable was designed with a specific wearer in mind and is adorned in 23-karat gold and gorgeous alligator leather strap set in an exclusive piano-gloss lacquer case. Available starting at the end of October, the LG Watch Urbane Luxe will retail for approximately USD 1,200.<\/p>\n<p>The LG Watch Urbane Luxe will sport a deployment clasp for a fitted, elegant look that isn\u2019t bulky. Invented by Louis Cartier in 1910, the use of a deployment clasp makes this \u00a0timepiece even more exclusive and unique. The alligator band itself is handcrafted at the highest level of craftsmanship, undergoing 50 separate steps in its creation, handled lovingly by 30 experienced leatherworkers. The 23-karat gold used in the LG Watch Urbane Luxe is stronger and harder than the 24-karat gold used in jewelry and heavier than the 18-karat gold used in traditional luxury watches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWearable devices shouldn\u2019t be thought of as an extension of one\u2019s smartphone but an extension of oneself,\u201d said Chris Yie, vice president and head of marketing communications for LG Mobile Communications Company. \u201cThis 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Each of the 500 limited edition watches will be engraved with its own serial number for authenticity and available initially in the USA for pre-order at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reeds.com\/\">www.REEDS.com<\/a> later this month or by visiting any REEDS Jewelers location. Visitors to IFA 2015 can see this beautiful work of art for themselves along with other mobile devices from LG in Hall 18 of Messe Berlin from September 4-9.<\/p>\n<p># # #<\/p>\n<p><strong>About LG Electronics, Inc.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>LG Electronics, Inc.
