LG G Watch 2 could be revealed in a fortnight

As the inevitable Apple iWatch draws closer, other tech firms are refining and releasing more and more wrist-based devices. The latest is LG, which is rumoured to be showing off the sequel to its LG G Watch at the IFA conference this year.

That's a little over two weeks away, folks. The Korean company only released its first version two months ago. According to the ever-reliable Korean Times,  the LG G Watch 2 (which is what we're calling it) is to be a premium device toting a Qualcomm processor and an alternative to Apple's as-yet-nonexistant wearable.

Like the original G Watch, we would expect this new device to run on Android Wear and feature a rectangular screen, rather than the traditional circular face sported by the Moto 360. The Korean Times identifies its source as an LF spokesperson, which gives it a sliver of authenticity. But seeing a new device so soon after the first still seems unlikely.

"LG Electronics was working on a September release for the new smartwatch alongside Google's wearable platform. The IFA fair may be the venue to see the upgraded smartwatch," quotes the report.
T3.com will be at IFA checking up on these kinds of claims, so we'll let you know as soon as we find anything.
