This Is LG's New Round-Face Smartwatch: The G Watch R
LG
After posting a teaser video earlier this week, LG has taken the wraps off its next Google-powered smartwatch, the G Watch R.
Unlike the standard G Watch, the G Watch R features a round face —
similar to that of Motorola's Moto 360 smartwatch, which also runs on
Google's Android Wear software. LG notes, however, that its smartwatch
utilizes the entire display. Motorola's Moto 360 cuts off ever so
slightly at the bottom.
The G Watch R seems like it will be just as much of a fitness device
as it is a wristwatch. The dust- and water-resistant watch also comes
with a handful of sensors, such as a gyroscope and accelerometer for
sensing motion, a barometer for detecting temperature, and a heart rate
monitor. LG points out that it will also come with LG's own apps in
addition to Google's.

Android Wear is Google's new software optimized for
smartwatches. The search engine giant officially announced the platform
back in March, and since then we've seen watches from Samsung, LG, and
Motorola entering the market. Android Wear is designed to act similarly
to Google Now, but on your wrist. It's supposed to provide contextual,
relevant information at a glance.
The G Watch R will debut in "key markets" in the fourth quarter of 2014, and pricing has yet to be announced.
