- a basic version powered by Android Wear and
- a high end one with a 4G chip and a new operating system which can make and answer calls and send texts without needing to be linked to a phone
The Watch Urbane models are LG's third and fourth smartwatches
LG said the watch was its first device to run its new LG Wearable Platform OS, which would also feature in other future products
The 4G-enabled Watch Urbane LTE features a 1.3in (3.3cm) plastic OLED display, a brushed stainless steel frame, and has three buttons on its side.
One of these acts as a panic alarm. When pressed it calls a preset phone number and sends details of the wearer's location - provided by its on-board GPS chip - to the recipient.
In addition to making calls, it also provides a push-to-talk facility, acting like a walkie-talkie with other compatible devices on the same data network.
Other facilities include:
- An NFC (near field communication) chip for touch-and-go payments
- IP67 dust and waterproofing certification, allowing it to be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes
- A heart rate monitor, barometer and nine-axis accelerometer to provide activity-tracking readings
