LG rounds out its smartwatch selection with a circular model to rival Motorola

By Joshua Sherman Published August 25, 2014

In a teaser video, LG has announced it’s ready to upgrade to the world of rounded smartwatches. LG will reveal a new, rounded Android Wear smartwatch at the upcoming IFA conference in Berlin to compete against a slew of other smartwatches looking to win over your wrist.

Earlier this summer we saw Android Wear launch with the LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live, two square-shaped smartwatches for Android users to pair their smartphones with. We’ve also since been teased with the Moto 360, a rounded Android Wear smartwatch, but still await its full release sometime in the next few weeks. LG has heard from the masses that square is out and round is in, so it looks like the company will release a round smartwatch just three months after launching its debut Android Wear device, the LG G Watch.

The video, posted on YouTube, doesn’t give much of a look into just what this device will be. We’re pretty sure it will run Android Wear, but beyond that all we could catch was a look of an analog watchface for no more than a few seconds.

IFA will begin on Sept. 3 in Berlin, which is just over a week away. So far, LG and Asus will announce new wearables, and we already know the Note 4 will also make its debut. This all makes for one exciting season of gadgets on the way.

The wearable on your wrist can predict blood pressure crisis events days in advance

A hypertensive crisis can lead to acute organ damage, and the abrupt spikes in blood pressure are also linked to stroke, kidney damage, fluid backup in the lungs, and heart attack. Research says wearable devices can provide a warning 3 days in advance.

In the domain of wearable devices, we have reached a stage where they are available in a variety of form factors. You can go with a smartwatch, something a little more subtle like a smart band without a screen, or even a smart ring. And as the form factors have continued to evolve, so have the capabilities and the sensing hardware. What started with basic light-based heart rate tracking has now reached a stage where smartwatches are capable of tracking multiple metrics, such as taking electrocardiogram readings, tracking sleep, looking for signs of sleep apnea, or even detecting spikes in blood pressure levels.

Now, fresh research courtesy of the American Heart Association claims that these mass-market wearable devices can help predict episodes of dangerously high blood pressure, or hypertensive crisis, up to three days in advance. The research was conducted over a period of 12 months and involved more than 4,000 participants living with stage 2 high blood pressure.

Wear OS is borrowing your phone’s status bar so you never lose track of time

Your smartwatch is finally getting the one thing it was weirdly missing.

The Pixel Watch on a person's wrist.

If you have ever opened an app on your Wear OS smartwatch and had no idea what time it was, Google is working on a fix. In October, the company launched a Wear OS canary emulator inside Android Studio. It lets developers try out new features and design tweaks well before Google ships them to anyone’s wrist.

The biggest addition in this build is a status bar that never leaves. It lives at the top edge of your round watch face, floats above whatever app you have open, and keeps the clock and your watch’s status icons in view.

Samsung’s first AI glasses could arrive in December, but only in two countries

Samsung's Gemini-powered glasses might be arriving a little later than expected, and most countries will have to wait even longer.

Samsung AI Glasses

Samsung's first AI-powered smart glasses are finally getting closer to store shelves. According to a new report from South Korea's ChosunBiz, the company is planning to launch its Intelligent Eyewear in mid-December, and if you're waiting to get your hands on them outside the US or South Korea, you might be disappointed.

For those catching up, we reported earlier in October that Samsung was planning a November launch. However, the latest report suggests the release has been pushed back by a few weeks. Samsung hasn't officially confirmed the new date, and there's still no word on how much the glasses will cost.
