However, it seems that LG has found a way to solve this problem with a new battery.

As emphasized Phone Arena, LG Chem, a division of LG has developed a hexagonal battery that can apparently improve uptime of 25% compared to the rectangular batteries , which makes sense, since the battery is further on the surface of the watch.

The small size and the hexagonal design also means that the battery could be an ideal fit for round smartwatches with screens, such as 360 or clean Moto Watch Urbane LG.

Who wants it?
So who will make use of this new battery? It's still somewhat of a mystery, but LG Chem might be working with large companies such as LG Electronics or Apple. The LG Chem spokesman, Byeong Woo-min, said that "the company has started selling hexagonal batteries to global technology companies ... batteries, manufactured in Nanjing, China, where LG operates massive battery factories will be used in future smartwatches " .

LG Chem apparently has big plans for the batteries embedded in the smartwatches, since the firm is working on other forms of non-conventional battery, with the hope that by 2018, the company will be the largest supplier compact batteries for smartwatches and other devices worldwide.

The Korea Times reported that more manufacturers like Samsung, intend to introduce new models of the great Berlin smartwatches technology salon, IFA 2015. Will we see these batteries?
