According to <a target=\"_blank\" style=\"background-color: initial\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2014\/10\/2\/6888445\/lg-webos-smartwatch\">The Verge<\/a>, the company is working on another brand new smartwatch: &#8220;A developer website hosted by LG teases a software development kit for a webOS SmartWatch, while the familiar Bean Bird from LG&#8217;s webOS TVs also shows up, this time supporting a classically styled analog wristwatch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Android Wear and webOS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>LG is really cranking out the watches. The LG G Watch is still only a few a months old, yet we&#8217;re waiting to catch a closer glimpse of the <a href=\"https:\/\/gazellethehorn.com\/thehorn\/2014\/08\/26\/lgs-next-smartwatch-leaks-actually-looks-like-real-watch\/\" target=\"_blank\">LG G Watch R<\/a>, where the LG G Watch&#8217;s familiar style is updated with a round face. It&#8217;s scheduled to launch before the year ends, and still, the company is back to the drawing board crafting the webOS smartwatch.<\/p>\n<p>As a smartwatch operating system, webOS is a virtual unknown. Thus, specifications and functionality for a webOS-based wearable have yet to be listed. Furthermore, The Verge notes that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/sell\/cell-phone\/lg?utm_campaign=gazelle_horn&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=gazelle_horn&amp;utm_content=article-title\" target=\"_blank\">LG<\/a> has pulled the aforementioned developer web page following reports of the potential new smartwatch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Variety Is the Spice of Life<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A webOS smartwatch could be a great way for LG to round out its options. The company has both the LG G Watch and the coming G Watch R under Google&#8217;s Android Wear operating system. While Android Wear is still in its infancy, it is quickly becoming a crowded market. Emerging operating systems, like Tizen for the Samsung Gear S and now webOS, may provide alternatives that can compete in the growing market.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2013\/2\/25\/4027018\/lg-buys-webos-smart-tv\">LG acquired webOS<\/a> from HP earlier this year after the OS went &#8220;open source&#8221; back in
