New LG G Watch 2 a true iWatch killer?
For those wondering why LG will launch a new smartwatch so soon after releasing its first. Currently the LG G Watch isn’t the right device to compete against Apple’s upcoming iWatch but the G Watch 2 is expected to change that as it is meant to go head-to-head with the long awaited smartwatch from Apple. It is yet unknown what other improvements the new smartwatch will feature over its predecessor but a higher resolution and longer battery life are 2 much requested improvements.
