LG has canceled the rollout of the LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition due to a "hardware issue," the company confirmed Friday. It will decide "at a later time" whether the device will become available again.
"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," LG said in a statement.
The device runs on Google's Android Wear platform and has LTE data connectivity.
