The LG G Watch R has found yet another home, this time at T-Mobile US.

As the first Android Wear device to feature a fully circular plastic OLED display (the Motorola Moto 360 has an LCD screen), the G Watch R comes with a slightly higher price. At $300, it's $50 more than its main round competitor, the Moto 360.

The LG G Watch R is a water- and dust-resistant device that pairs with any Android smartphone that uses version 4.3 software or above. Slightly more stylish than other Android Wear models, it features a steel and aluminum housing and removable straps that you can replace with any 22mm bands.

Internally, we find 4GB of storage, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 CPU and 512MB RAM. In addition to the standard suite of sensors, the G Watch includes a heart rate monitor and a barometer.

T-Mobile will sell the LG G Watch R in stores starting November 19. It arrives online later in the month.
