Smartwatch cancelled after 6 days in stores

The LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE was the company's latest answer to Apple's dominating entry into the market. But it died fast, pulled off the shelves within a week due to an unspecified problem with the display.

Ron Amadeo writes that they "are not in a position to communicate the specifics of the issue that led to this decision."

LG is being as diplomatic as possible to not burn a bridge with its suppliers, but it's hard to interpret "image quality" as anything other than a finger pointed squarely at the display. The display would also fit the description of a "new advanced component" that had "never been used in an LG wearable device before." The Urbane 2 was the first smartwatch to hit a 480480 resolution, bringing the round, 1.3-inch P-OLED display to 490 PPI.

Failed quality assurance at this level is just bizarre. What a train wreck.
