The stylish LG Watch Urbane, announced earlier at the MWC 2015, now arrives in India at Rs 30,000. The smartwatch will be available in silver and Rose gold options.

The posh-looking watch will also be among the first devices to give Google’s hand-drawn emoji feature a go. The device closely resembles the company’s LG Watch R which was launched in October 2014.

The Urbane sports a full circular Plastic OLED (P-OLED) display with a natural leather strap that can be replaced with any other 22mm wide band. It offers a stainless steel body available in polished silver and gold finish variant. The LG Watch Urbane will have a thinner profile as well to target both men and women.

The LG Watch Urbane features a touch-based user interface that is compatible with smartphones running Android 4.3 and above. The 1.3-inch display comes with a resolution of 320 x 320 pixels and a pixel density of 245ppi. It will also feature a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor. The smartwatch will have a built in storage of 4GB and sport 512MB RAM. It measures 45.5 x 52.2 x 10.9mm.

It is the first Watch to get the Android Wear update that supports Wi-Fi. However, there is no word on when the Urbane LTE will be launched here.
