Motorola have claimed to offer the first ever circular Smartwatch in the form of the Moto 360. However, LG are putting up a fight with the rumoured unveiling of an LG circular Smartwatch at the IFA 2014 in Berlin next week.

Rumoured to be called the LG G Watch R, the watch will join the LG G Watch and be the company’s second Google Powered Android wearable. LG uploaded a teaser video earlier this week, showing glimpses of the wearable including several interfaces such as a compass and step counter.

Terms such as ‘round the bends’ and ‘perfect circle’ confirm the devices circular design  and it is also suggested that LG are planning an OLED display for the new smartwatch, rather than the IPS LCD of the first LG G Watch.

We have also spotted a few Samsung patents that describe round smartwatches, so LG aren’t the only ones chasing the ‘stylish’ Smartwatch label.  Samsung are, however, yet to confirm the existence of such a device leaving the door widely open for LG and Motorola to take the lead.

As soon as Google announced its Android Wear operating system, LG announced they were to develop the LG G SmartWatch in collaboration with Google.  The LG G together with the Motorola Moto 360 are the first Android Wear devices available.

The LG G SmartWatch is a wearable device which gives you the information you need as and when required. By saying “OK Google” you can ask questions and the device will give you the answer either by voice or by written text. The command will initiate a search which will then allow you to open apps or look up the required information. It will remind you of meetings and will track your daily exercise regime.

With a 1.65 inch screen the watch is available in two colours, black and white and is water and dust resistant. It has a screen resolution of 280×280 and has 512MB RAM with 4GB of built in storage.

The LG G SmartWatch is now available to pre-order from Unlocked Mobiles.
