Louis Vuitton Launches Tambour Horizon, The Company's First Smartwatch

Louis Vuitton, a well known luxury brand has just announced the Tambour Horizon, the company's very first smartwatch running on Android Wear platform.

A luxury Android powered wearable

The Louis Vuitton Tambour Horizon comes with a 42 mm case with a thickness of just 12.5 mm. It's equipped with a 1.2 inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 390 x 390 or 460 ppi, Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 Connected, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB ROM (storage) and 300 mAh of battery capacity. It has an estimate battery life of around 1 day.

However, unlike most modern smartwatches, this device is lacking in health related technologies. It isn't a fitness tracker and there's no optical heart rate monitor embedded. This wearable works more as a fashion statement than a smartwatch.

3 major styles

Anyway, it also has exclusive apps to help you find your way in airports and cities, but we are sure that there's a lot of possibly better alternatives for FREE on Google Play.
