Dubbed as Android Wear 2.0, the latest version will make Wear smartwatches completely standalone and won't require an accompanying smartphone. A change in design is expected as well thanks to the revised Material Design guidelines for Wear 2.0 like expanded notifications and a darker UI. Google's very own smartwatch operating system, Android Wear, will receive its first major update since its initial release. While Apple Watch is still cooking behind the Cupertino doors, Android Wear watches will get updated with useful features that an individual can make use of, especially the sporty ones. First off, Wear will now support GPS functionality, if available, for tracking your routes without having your phone with you. Second, you can now make use of the built-in storage of your Wear watches for offline music playback. The update will come soon to current Android Wear smartwatches like the LG G Watch, Moto 360, and Samsung Gear Live. Check out our LG G Watch review here to know more about Android Wear watches.
