Hotels.com has added Android Wear support for their app in hopes that you get more out of the experience. The app will send you notifications on the day of your arrival at 2 p.m. You will get information such as address and your reservation details.

“Our new wearable notifications make travelling even more seamless,” said Daniel Craig, senior director of mobile at Hotels.com. “We know our customers are increasingly looking for ways to take the stress and hassle out of travel and we’re in the business of listening and responding to them as fast as possible.”

Owners of the Moto 360 wearable will be happy to know that a new system update for Android Wear (Build #KGW42R update, bringing Android Wear to version 1.0.1.1448224), supposedly improves overall battery life for the Moto 360. Streamlining processes for the light sensor and bluetooth connectivity, the update aims to fix one of the more dissapointing aspects of what still remains to be the most interesting wearable device under Android Wear.

If you need a simple, barebones note-taking app, Microsoft has created an Android Wear version of its OneNote app. You can take notes via voice command and this will sync online to provide access for any of your device. It’ll be particularly helpful if you use Microsoft’s platform more. Plus, it gives you the convenience of taking little notes without having to take out your smartphone.

LG G Watch gets $50 price cut

The G Watch R was supposedly just an option for those who didn’t want the G Watch. Now, it looks like the South Korean brand is preferring the rounder brother with a US$50 price cut on G Watch over at Google Play Store. This means the G Watch is now $179. The sale will reportedly be until September 23. But we won’t be surprised if the price sticks though.
