What is Android Wear?
Android Wear is the Google API for smart watches, Google Glass, and other wearable devices. These wearables work
in conjunction with an Android smartphone to put useful information at your fingertips. There is now a wide selection
of Android watches to choose from, including those that provide GPS and offline music. This means you can now use
the watch for common activities, like exercise or navigation, even when it is not paired with your phone.
Now that Apple has introduced their smart watch, wearables have crossed the tipping point of just being a consumer
plaything to an integral part of work and play. Remember that It was just a few years ago when the smart phone was
introduced, and now it is part of everyday life.
If you are new to Android Wear you first need to learn how to present timely and concise information on the small
screen of a wearable, and then become familiar with the software and tools that make it all possible. This site helps
developers quickly work through the basic concepts and develop their first wearable app. If you are interested in
developing apps for the Apple Watch, see http://www.applewatchdocs.com.
