LG teases round revision of its Android Wear watch

After apparently realizing that some users might prefer a round smart watch over a plain jane square model like it's current G Watch, LG is apparently going to copy the direction of Motorola and ship a round Android Wear watch. A leak shows some highlights of the new LG G Watch R which is expected to break ground at IFA. Poking fun at the Moto 360, LG is promising a 'perfect circle' meaning that the the LG watch will really be round and not have a black bar at the bottom of the screen. Good news for people wanting some variety in Android Wear devices.
