Android Wear 2.0: A Revolutionary Watch Experience

We are here at Digital Trends, and we're excited to check out a watch running on Android Wear 2.0. As you can see, this is one of the new watches with watch faces that have complications on the front. This means that you can have notifications from basically any app on your wrist. Whether it's your to-do list, weather, or anything else, just swipe over and change your watch face any way you want. You can also choose which complications you want to have on your watch face and where they are located.

For example, let's say we want to place the lower slot complication in a specific position. We can scroll through all our applications until we find the one that we want to add to our watch face. This way, we'll be able to see our cardio goal or any other information from RunKeeper or another app on our wrist. Android Wear has made significant changes to its interface, and as you can see in the notifications section, everything is now running around a round dial instead of a vertical list.

This new design doesn't really make sense on a circular watch face, but it does look quite lovely. You'll notice that all the apps are still present, just rearranged into this circular layout. One of the most interesting features of Android Wear 2.0 is the ability to reply to messages directly from your wrist. This can be done using either a keyboard or handwriting input.

Let's try replying to a message with our handwriting input. We'll say "hi there" and hope that Google can read our handwriting correctly. If it's all good, we just need to say "it's good" and send the reply. This feature is quite cool, but as you can see, it does take a little bit of practice to get used to on this smaller screen.

On top of replying to messages, we also have the option to long press and switch between keyboard and handwriting input. However, swiping with our fingers can be a bit challenging on this smaller screen. But if we give it some practice, it could actually work out pretty well.

In conclusion, Android Wear 2.0 is a revolutionary watch experience that offers a wide range of features and capabilities. With its new interface design, notifications, and reply-to-messages feature, this watch is definitely worth checking out. We'll continue to explore more features and functionality in our future articles.
