Skype introduces Android Wear support

Microsoft’s messaging service Skype is coming to your Android Wear-donning wrist. The latest app update now supports Google’s wearable platform. You can read and reply to messages right from it either by using pre-written responses or by using the voice-to-text feature. You can even draw emojis on the watchface and that app will recognize those. You can take calls from it but, of course, this’ll push it back to your phone.

Skype names some Android Wear watches that the messenger will work with including Moto 360, Huawei Watch, LG Watch Urbane, and ASUS ZenWatch. You can try it out with the other smartwatches you have though, they might be able to work since Skype didn’t say any limitations in its announcement post.
