Last year, a number of smartwatches were presented. New models, new companies and new operating system known as Android Wear name all helped to bring a product in a niche market, so that the general public can choose the product that the interested in.
With all this progress, we expect to see this trend continue in 2015 and to date, the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas was able to give us some new devices - such as Alcatel OneTouch smartwatch, or bracelet Lenovo and new looks for older models that Sony has already commercialized.

But it has many smartwatches that were raised in the halls of Las Vegas, more than those presented during the exhibition. As reported Machineo, among them, one model was spotted by mistake and caused a minor stir on the stand of Audi: a new watch round of LG.
Used in connection with the demonstration of the self-car driving Audi Ulrich Hackenberg, the watch appeared on his wrist literally different from the existing G Watch R, in the sense that it has appeared with three physical buttons as opposed to the single button Watch G R . It also comes with an all-metal chassis, giving it a premium look that is not without displeasing.
While the show has been identified as a product of the Korean company, no other details were confirmed at the time of this writing. We do not even know if it's another Android model Wear, or if LG is planning something a little different for this one. Does LG aims to launch a smartwatch webOS?
Anyway, Android Central seems to confirm that this watch was designed specifically for Audi , and runs a customized version of Android Wear. Dreams of a watch webOS will have to wait another day ... True or false from LG, it remains to be seen.
Earlier rumors suggested that LG could launch the G Watch R2 at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in March . This would be an upgrade of the original R G Watch, however adding a cellular connectivity, as Samsung has done with his Gear S. If this is indeed the case, we should have the answer in a few months.
In the meantime, at least we have nice clean images of the new device.
