Google ups its smartwatch game to rival the Apple Watch
An android update
With the Apple Watch launch date just 48 hours away, competitor Google have upped the ante of its smartwatch game, releasing the newest version of its Android Wear. The new Google wearable features cutting-edge updates, the ability for users to customise and draw their own emojis, Wi-Fi, and a new range of watch faces and bands.
The new Android Wear still features the same display, built in GPS, and offline music support present in its older versions. But now also features pioneering elements such as interactive hand gesture capabilities, which enables users to access features like the calendar and weather news with a flick of the wrist. With Apple Watch pre-orders estimated at 2.3 million, Google are understandably concerned and keen to play its best wearable game.
Google recently teased its incredible 'Project Loon' balloon which aims to bring the Internet to everyone on earth. Watch the amazing video here.
