Wearing a watch lets you tell time with just a glance. Android Wear has expanded this at-a-glance experience to other useful info like your next meeting, daily step count, or messages.
Google is rolling out a new Android Wear update, that includes support for interactive watch faces.
The interactive watch faces will make you to stay connected, right from your wrist. Now, with just a tap, your watch face can change its design, reveal more information, or even launch a specific app, without having to open an app. This gives you new opportunities to make your watch face more engaging and interesting.
For example, in Pujie Black watch face, you can see that just touching the calendar indicator quickly changes the watch face to show the agenda for the day, making the watch face more helpful and engaging.
The Bits watch face allows you to choose the info you want at a glance—from weather, calendar, fitness, to unread mail, to upcoming meetings.
Under Armour Record helps to stay motivated with fitness stats on your wrist. Tap the watch face to see your step count, calories burned, and distance. UA Record is a personalized health & fitness platform that provides tailored instruction, information & inspiration based on your data. It tracks, analyze, and share your fitness activity with the world’s first social network for athletes and fitness enthusiasts.
Android Wear’s Together Watch Face lets two people stay close throughout the day by turning the entire watch face into a space for sharing. Once you’ve paired your watch face with a partner’s, you’ll be able to share things like photos and emoji, as well as your activities (like if you’re working out, on the phone, or stuck in traffic).
Get your favorite Android Wear Watch Faces from here. There are more than 1,500 watch faces created by artists, brands and developers. These updates are rolling out to all Android Wear watches in the coming weeks.
Google also launched Google Translate on all Android Wear watches. It is built into the latest Android Wear software update, so you can have bilingual conversations even if you don’t have Google Translate on your phone, or if you’re away from your phone but connected via Wi-Fi.
And it’s easy to use – just speak into your watch to see your conversation translated into any of 44 languages. Flip your wrist to show the translation to a friend. When they respond in their own language, flip your wrist back, and you’ll see in your language what they’ve just said.
Google Translate will automatically recognize which of the two languages is being spoken, so once you tap to start the conversation, all you and your buddy need to do is keep talking naturally.
Google Translate covers 90 languages total (for text translation), and also Google is working on to expand more number of languages that work across various features.
