Delays due to hardware issues are not uncommon, but you know it’s really bad when the product gets pulled off the shelves for good. That’s the case with LG and its Urbane 2 LTE. Android Wear’s first cellular smartwatch has been axed due to “complicated issues”.
We understand that you are currently reviewing our latest smartwatch; however, late in the quality assurance process for the LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE, our engineers were made aware of a hardware issue which affects the day-to-day functionality of the device. After further investigation, the decision was made to cancel the rollout of the Urbane 2nd Edition LTE due to the complicated nature of the issue.
There is no indication given as to whether the Urbane 2 LTE will ever make it to consumers. Unfortunate indeed, as I was personally looking forward to it.
