LG are set to announce a circular successor to the G Watch at this year's IFA. Known as the LG G Watch R, the wearable is said to have a perfectly circular screen, distinguishing it from the "flat tire" look of the Moto 360. It is expected that the G Watch R will be announced just hours after the Moto 360's launch event.

Unlike the original G Watch, it looks like the G Watch R will also have a physical button.

A teaser for the device was uncovered as an unlisted video on one of LG's YouTube Channels. It has since been public and can be watched below.
