Google is hoping to get ahead in the smartwatch game, if reports are to be believed. They’re reportedly working on adding Wi-Fi support to the Android Wear platform. This means the smartwatches can make use of features like Google Now without having to be paired via Bluetooth to a smartphone. Most of the Android Wear watches already have Wi-Fi built in. It’s just a matter of enabling it through a software update.
According to The Verge, enabling this feature is reportedly part of the next update for Google’s wearable platform. Gesture control will also reportedly be included. This means you just have to flick your wrist to scroll through notifications and Google Now cards. No word yet though on when the next Android Wear update will be coming out.
