IFA 2014 News

LG dropped hints of its upcoming successor to the original G Watch last week, and today at IFA 2014 they pulled the curtain off the G Watch R. For fans of Sesame Street, "R" is for "Round," and this circular design was most likely inspired by all of the buzz surrounding the Moto 360.

Check out CNET's first look at the device from IFA in Berlin.

Personally, I love the round watch face, but it still seems pretty bulky, though that's a common hindrance with all current smartwatches and has more to do with current limitations in hardware than it does design.
