New features include support for standalone apps, Android Pay, dials and - of course - the Google Assistant.Īs Singleton stressed, the idea behind all of this work was to take what the team learned from how people used the previous version and focus on making exactly those things easier.
TODOIST ANDROID WEAR 2.0 UPDATE
You can find our respective reviews here and here. A number of existing Wear watches will also get this update in the coming weeks and months.Įven though it took Google a few months longer than expected to roll out Wear 2.0, which meant its partners missed the ever-important December shopping season, the final version that’s launching today still sticks to the basics Google announced last year. Today, however, Wear 2.0 is launching with two new flagship watches from LG: the gargantuan, feature-rich LG Watch Sport and the comparatively demure and pared-down LG Watch Style. Only looking at the holiday season, Google says it saw 70 percent year-over-year growth. While the overall outlook on the market doesn’t always look positive, Singleton argues that Google saw double-digit growth in activations year-over-year. We felt strongly that it was time to work with our traditional - but also non-traditional - partners to create this ecosystem.” “But build an ecosystem of partners to create a diverse set of styles and sizes. “The approach that we took as we got started was to build an ecosystem of partners - so not just do a one-size-fit all solution,” David Singleton, the head of the Google Wear project, told me. Even though in day-to-day use, the updated version feels very much like the next logical evolution of Wear, it took Google far longer than expected to launch it. If you’re not a Wear aficionado who has been patiently waiting for this release, you probably remember Wear 2.0 from its Google I/O announcement last May. Google is officially launching Android Wear 2.0 today - the biggest update to the company’s wearable operating system since its launch in 2014.
