Things did not go as planned for LG with the Watch Urbane 2nd Edition, which was originally supposed to come out late last year. A hardware defect caused the company to halt the release and bring the watch back to the drawing board. Now, it’s ready to go again and ATT will let you pre-order one right now.
The Watch Urbane 2 is the first Wear device with LTE, and ATT is keen to point out that it also supports NumberSync. That means you can leave your phone at home and still get calls and texts on your main number with the watch. The Urbane to has a 480×480 round P-OLED screen, 540mAh battery, and not one, not two, but three side buttons.
The full price for the Watch Urbane 2 is $360, which isn’t obscenely high compared to a lot of other Android Wear devices. If you do a contract (ATT still does those for watches and tablets), the Urbane 2 is $200. That drops to $99.99 if you buy an LG G5 too. You can also get it for $18 per month on a Next 20 plan. If you want to add the Urbane to your plan (presumably that’s why you are buying a watch with LTE) it will cost an extra $10 per month.
