New Balance hasn't released specifics on what the watch will look like or exactly how it will work, though the company says that
the device will allow runners to track runs via GPS and listen to their music without their smartphones. Google announced in November that it would be supporting LTE-enabled Android Wear smartwatches.
However, when asked about possible LTE functionality, Chris Ladd, New Balance's executive vice president of direct to consumer, declined to elaborate on the specifics of how the watch will work. But Ladd did emphasize that allowing an untethered experience was an important goal for the company.
