LG certainly didn’t show up to MWC 2015 empty handed. In fact, the company came with a collection of new Android smartphones and a couple of wearables including the previously announced Watch Urbane fashion-centric smartwatch. The two wearables will help refresh the company’s current smartwatch offerings while the four Android smartphones will help expand its mid-range offerings.

Today at the Mobile World Congress tradeshow, LG debuted its latest range of devices, including two wearables and a small fleet of Android smartphones. Previously announced two weeks ago, the Watch Urbane is an elegant Android Wear smartwatch made with gold- and silver-coated metal. It also comes with a leather replaceable strap that can be replaced with any 22mm-wide band. The Watch Urbane is LG’s third entry into the Android Wear category. In fact, even though it’s designed to look like an everyday luxury timepiece, it has a lot in common with company’s much more sporty G Watch R. Both of them feature a circular, 1.3-inch P-OLED display with 320×320 pixels resolution and 349 pixel density. Both cases house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 1.2GHz quad-core processor with 4GB of eMMC storage and 512MB of RAM. Even the battery life is the same: two full-days, thanks to the 410 mAh Li-Ion cell. Further technical details include dust and water IP67 certification, 9-axis sensors, barometer and a PPG heart rate sensor.
