Android dress code: wear what you want
Wednesday, December 10, 2014
Deciding what to wear is a really personal thing—it’s one of the ways you show people what you’re about. Wearable technology is no different, so Android Wear offers a wide selection of apps and watches to suit your taste. It’s about expressing who you are, however you want, right on your wrist.
Today there’s even more ways to show your style with Android Wear, including dozens of new watch faces (powered by an official Watch Face API), a full collection of devices on Google Play, and lots of other improvements based on your feedback. So try ‘em on for size, and let us know what you think.
Watch faces for whatever you’re into
Starting today you can download watch faces from Google Play, just like you do with apps. We’ve got dozens of examples to get you started—from the unpredictable Minions in Despicable Me to the X-Ray artistry of Hugh Turvey. And because the new Watch Face API is available to all developers, you can expect even more choices in the weeks and months ahead.
We’ve also updated the Android Wear app on your phone to make browsing, downloading, and switching watch faces really easy. So pick the one you like the best, or pick a new one every day.
(Both updates are rolling out over the next week, so don’t worry if you don’t see them yet.)
A family of watches to choose from
In only a few short months, the Android Wear collection has grown to include six unique watches—the ASUS ZenWatch, the LG G Watch, the LG G Watch R, the Moto 360, the Samsung Gear Live, and the Sony SmartWatch 3. Some are circular, others are square. Some are traditional, others are sporty. And that’s exactly the point. With different shapes and styles, it’s really easy to make your watch your own.
So by all means: wear what you want.

hello,
ReplyDeletePlease read to the end, it's not all negative.
to the general public a smartwatch is nothing more than an extra screen. it isn't marketing, it isn't to early for public use, it isn't anything but that. smartwatches are on the road to be the next Glass.
imagine a company car park lot. Ten people hold hands in a ring for two seconds then move on to their cars. what just happened? they shedulled a meeting, their smartwatch backs in contact with their skin used electric flux to send and receive data. they exchanged vcards but google went trough all their callendars and schedulled a meeting ASAP when all ten of them were available in the same country. just think about the hustle of doing this usually, even with a smartphone.
Google has to put totally different functions into smartwatches for them to succeed. time to phone IBM (they probably forgot about the smart-shoe patents they have).
