Louis Vuitton's new Wear OS luxury smartwatch fully revealed

Louis Vuitton teased last month a new luxury Wear OS smartwatch, an upgraded version of the Tambour Horizon, a wearable device that costs no less than $2,500, at least at launch. The only info about the upcoming smartwatch was the fact that it will be powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 3100 chipset.

Now we have the full list of specs and a couple of more pictures showing the new Louis Vuitton Tambour Horizon. First off, this looks like a unisex smartwatch, suitable for both male and female consumers. It will be available in polished steel, matte black PVD, white ceramic, white ceramic with gem-set horns, and matte brown PVD, but each version will be priced differently.

Besides the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 3100 processor, the newest platform for smartwatches, Louis Vuitton Tambour Horizon sports a 1.2-inch circular AMOLED display (390 x 390 pixels resolution), 1GB RAM and 8GB internal memory.

Also, the smartwatch comes with NFC (Near Field Communication) technology that will allow users to make payments on the fly using Google Pay. According to Louis Vuitton, the smartwatch can withstand being submerged under 30 meters of water.

As seen in the pictures, the luxury wearable device features a rotating crown, but we also know that it will be powered by a rather small 300 mAh battery. The only information left out by Louis Vuitton is pricing and a launch date, but we don't expect the new Tambour Horizon to be cheaper than the previous model.

Not all that! Just because it say LV doesn’t mean this a quality product. This caters to LV buyers.

I am not telling people what to buy or not, but majority of brand w**r*s have zero taste. Take the overrated LV logo off this watch, and you won't find people interested in it even if it was sold for 10 dollars.
