Information moves with you. This is the motto of A, the new operating system that Google has just presented at Google I / O. It is the software that will change the way we access the latest information, monitor our health and, of course, communicate with our friends.
Android Wear is, in short, the Android operating system “ported” to wearable devices. In short, it is capable of offer us useful information on our wrist -In the form of a watch-, so that our mobile phone is still in our pocket and we can continue to communicate and make use of interesting applications. Obviously, all the improvements also apply to the developers, which may create all kinds of applications just as they would for a smartphone or tablet.
Unsurprisingly, Android Wear is compatible with square and round displays, as well as with all kinds of sensors, so that manufacturers can create wearable devices with all kinds of designs and users can lead an easier life, monitoring our steps, heart rate and much more. But that is not all.

Every time we receive one notification, the watch will vibrate to warn us, being able to access all of them by side scrolling as we would on a smartphone. In addition to notifications, we will meet all the information that interests us in the day to day: public transport schedules, reminders, weather ... Even the smartwatch will be able to offer us answers to all our questionsEither about how to get to a place or the definition of a certain term.
La synchronization between smartphone and watch It is just as we expected, so that everything we delete or believe in the second is immediately reflected on the phone. For example, if we receive a call, we will have the possibility of accepting it, rejecting it or sending a pre-established SMS just as we would with our mobile. And of course, we can also set alarms, play and control music, view battery and smartphone status in general… In short, wearables with Android Wear will be a complete extension of our smartphone, making life much easier for us.
