Motorola’s Moto 360 smartwatch has been the subject of a lot of hype thanks to its round face, but now it looks like Moto’s not the only one that’s cooking up a circular timepiece.
The official LG Mobile Global YouTube channel has posted an unlisted video teaser for “LG’s New Wearable.” According to Engadget , the device will officially be known as the LG G Watch R. The video shows quick flashes of many different smartwatch faces and features, including a step counter and a compass.
We can’t gather too many concrete details about the LG G Watch R from this teaser, but it does promise that the unit is “coming soon @ IFA 2014,” so it won’t be long before more details are revealed. We’re just glad to see another company trying a round-faced smartwatch. It’ll be interesting to see how the G Watch R compares to the Moto 360, which will likely launch right around the same time that the G Watch R debuts.
One other details that’s also unclear is what the LG G Watch R means for the original G Watch. However, since the G Watch is square and the G Watch R is round, it’s possible that we could see both models stick around since their different shapes could appeal to different audiences.
