LG G2 to get G3 UI and Android L, G3 has a flaw and G Watch 2 will be round

It was just the other day that I shared information and video on the LG G Watch upcoming Android Wear powered smartwatch. I even talked a bunch about the Motorola Moto 360 smartwatch in that article as well, but they both were just eclipsed by the new Kairos smartwatch.

Android Wear was announced back in March. On that same day, Motorola and LG both announced they would be developing smartwatches running the new custom OS.
