LG announced G watch R.

LG is giving a tough competition for this IFA event, as it looks like it’s saving nothing in terms of device launches for the
IFA 2014 trade show next week. It’s already gone official with the L
Fino and L Bello entry-level smartphones, the midrange G3 Stylus ,
and is now announcing for real the LG G Watch R, a Moto 360
competitor if there’s ever been one.
The smartwatch is allegedly the first watch-style wearable in the
world to be using circular P-OLED display tech and utilize 100% of
the watch face (sorry Moto 360, that black bar at the bottom is
really costing you). Speaking of that display, it’s a 1.3-inch panel.
And while we’re on specs, we may as well give a rundown of the
basic features here – with a full-blown specs post following.
There’s a 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 400, 4GB of storage, and 512MB of
RAM, among other premium specs (well, for a smartwatch).
Of course, this watch runs on Google’s Android Wear platform, with
a UI we’re assuming is probably quite similar to the one that can be
found on the current-generation LG G Watch . There’s support for
the optical heart rate sensor feature in Android Wear built-in to the
watch, too, for you fitness buffs.
One of the major selling points of the G Watch R is that metal,
circular body. LG takes pride in the elegance of the stainless steel-
framed watch, and says it has an “artisanal elegance.” There’s a
user-replaceable 22mm calf skin leather watchband too, which we’re
sure many of you are glad to hear.
And lastly: the price. Just kidding. The G Watch R will be available
in the early fourth quarter in a variety of markets, but pricing and
availability details will be announced at a later date. We’ll have two
members of our team checking the thing out at IFA next week.
