Louis Vuitton’s pricey smartwatch gets a big upgrade for 2019
Louis Vuitton has upgraded its extravagant take on Wear OS with Qualcomm’s new chipset for wearables.
The new LV Tambour Horizon smartwatch is now powered by the Snapdragon Wear 3100, the same chip that Qualcomm worked on for years with help from Google.
Since one of the new chip’s features is better battery life, the upgraded Tambour can now last one full day and up to five additional days if you’re just using it to display time.
If you’ll recall, rich ambient mode is one of the Wear 3100’s new features — it displays time and information like heart rate or step count on the screen while using less power than the watch would if it’s fully active.
