We now know more about what's inside the awkwardly named LG G Watch R than the circular Moto 360, even though Motorola's smartwatch is set for a September 4 launch event.
The official specs for LG's second Android Wear watch include a 1.3-inch Plastic OLED display that's a full circle, according to the South Korean manufacturer.
This new screen technology uses 100% of the round watch face and is supposed to easy to read, even under bright sunlight. That's a major plus among wearables.
Behind the advanced screen, the same components are pretty much the same as the LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live: a 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 processor, 4GB of storage and 512MB of RAM.
It does squeeze in slightly better battery life with a 410mAh battery. It's marginally bigger than the 400mAh battery in the LG G Watch that lasts a day and a half.
LG G Watch R vs Moto 360
LG claims a "world's first" with the Plastic OLED display that sits front and center on the G Watch R.
It also allows the new watch to contrast with the Moto 360, which has a 1.5-inch LCD screen but a small chunk missing from the bottom portion of the watch face.
Motorola says that the incomplete circle houses the screen components, eliminating the need to create a circular bezel around the Moto 360.
LG has found a way around this limitation, but the release date isn't until the fourth quarter of this year and the LG G Watch R price is currently unknown.
- Expect more details at next week's IFA 2014 conference in Berlin.
