The G Watch R, LG’s awesome new Android Wear watch, will go on sale in the U.K. tomorrow, priced at £224.99. In addition to be immeasurably more beautiful than the original G Watch, the device boasts a heart rate monitor, a better display, and a slightly bigger battery.

Google has begun rolling out its latest Android Wear update, which adds offline music playback and the ability to connect to Bluetooth headphones, and support for watches with a GPS. The “4.4W.2” software is currently reaching users with an LG G Watch over-the-air.

LG has today confirmed rumors that it will be launching the new G Watch R next week, but before you get too excited, you should know that you won’t be able to buy one yet… unless you live in South Korea.

LG is expected to finally launch its second Android Wear watch next week. Two separate sources in South Korean claim the G Watch R will make its debut there on Monday, October 13 — almost two months after it was announced at IFA 2014 in Berlin — but just one retailer will be selling the device for the first week.

While it may be possible to install and play regular Android games on your Android Wear watch, we recommend you don’t because it almost always results in a horrible user experience. Instead, why not play games specifically designed for the Android Wear platform, such as Tales of Pocoro, a new puzzle game that boasts more than 200 levels.
