3 reasons you need an Android Wear smartwatch

Smartwatches with Android Wear can still improve a lot, but the truth is that they are already useful watches today. Here are 3 reasons why you really need an Android Wear smartwatch.

1.- To stop seeing notifications (because you see them on the clock)

There are many occasions that we turn on the mobile screen to see if we have any notification, check it, or even respond to it. All these actions are possible from a watch with Android Wear. Not only will you be able to see which notifications you receive, but you will also be able to see more information about each of them. For example, if what you have received is an email, you will not only be able to see that you have received the email, but you will also be able to read it, and even respond to it by voice.

2.- To change songs

Use Bluetooth headphones or wired headphones, you will find that having to take out your smartphone to change songs is not practical. And more if you want to change the song when you are cycling or running. I love the ability to switch songs from my Android Wear smartwatch. I have to admit that, although it seems like an unimportant function, it is one of the most useful that I see for smart watches.

3.- To be more active in social networks

If you depend on your mobile to be active in social networks, you have it really complex. You will depend on having to be consulting the mobile. With your smart watch you can select to appear on the watch when a certain user tweets, for example. In addition, it is not at all annoying to read the tweet on the clock, and discard it if we want. The same goes for comments on Facebook, Instagram or YouTube. Being able to consult them on the clock makes it impossible for us to forget them because we can see them at the moment. And the use of smart watches usually leads us to be more active users in social networks, without losing much more time.
