CES 2015: Audi and LG show-off smart watch collaboration

One of the highlighted keynotes today was from car maker Audi. During their hour long session they announced in-car partnerships with Android Wear manufacturers LG, Samsung and NVIDIA. Exciting, yes, but it wasn't the subtle Easter egg that caught a sharp journalists eye. No, something else had people talking -- the watch Ulrich Hackenberg had on during the presentation. Bearing a striking resemblence to the in-market LG G Watch R, the yet-to-be-named watch looked strikingly more refined with a stainless steel bezel and leather strap. 

The Verge reached out to LG for comment, to which they confirmed that the watch was made specifically for Audi and runs a customized version of Android Wear.

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.
