The first Android SmartWatch Wear – including LG G Watch – landed on store shelves in June last year, but since then have not yet fully polonized interface. Does this mean that in our country are completely useless? Not at all!
First – Applications
Applications is a strong party system Google. In May 4000 their number exceeded , so everyone will find something for themselves. I use a web browser (sometimes is useful;), calculator, Endomondo, Tweetings Twitter client or Shazama. I love especially the latter, because possibility of discreet check in the pub due to flying just a song without having to remove the phone from your pocket is a great thing . Two subsidence, a few seconds of waiting and title lands on the wrist. Ba, they appear even synchronized words songs playing in the background.

Compatible With Android Wear is also popular Messenger Facebook, which not only displays notifications for new messages, but also allows you to answer no voice . Yes, speech recognition works in Polish and software handles this quite efficiently.

Second – notification
So what actually defines the SmartWatch. Wear Android watches can capture all the notifications from your smartphone and – if the developer cared about it – enter interact with them . Many of them took care of it, so we can lajkować Twitter entries or reply to messages in popular instant messaging. Of course, there are no problems with Polish fonts.

Third – answers to questions
Android Wear is tightly integrated with the assistant Google Now, so as he can to answer the questions. In our native language, among others, we ask watch here is how old Chuck Norris, how tall is the tower Eifflea, who is president of Hungary or about the weather for tomorrow, the equivalent of $ 500 dollars or the cast of “Star Wars”.

Fourth – the
This feature appeared just a few days ago and wants still in its infancy, but already now it is quite useful. SmartWatch will perform, among others, The following command :
- The call John Smith;
- send SMS to John Smith’ll call you back later;
- send an email to John Blinstrub call back later;
- find restaurants near me (with the possibility to launch navigation on the clock);
- Endomondo run.
Unfortunately, when it comes to command, Google now can not cope even with natural speech recognition and variation of contact names and applications by cases , so you have to go down to the level of “Kali eat, drink Kali”. However, you can get along, and that’s the most important;)
Fifth – before you can ask
Android Wear Smatwatche not only execute the orders, but also – based on Google Now – display potential information you need before you have time to ask for them . Based on the location of the watch itself suggests always fresh weather forecast, and after przeczesaniu mailbox is able to display information about the planned flight or track the shipment from Amazon.

A simple, but extremely useful for me feature is the automatic display time, what do I need to get home when I’m outside of it . It often happens that I have to be home at a certain time and in such a situation glance is enough for me to say how many minutes I need to reach. This works really precisely.
Sixth – Navigation
After asking the watch of a nearby restaurant or tourist attraction, it is possible to run a slump navigation. This is one of the killer-feature’ów Android Wear, because there is nothing better than to move freely in the strange town without sight planted in the smartphone screen . SmartWatch vibrates against every turn while simultaneously giving the user a clear indication sure they do not go astray.

Seventh – control the media player
This feature, of course, is in no way limited regionally, but since I write about all applications in our country I can not and do not mention it. Android Wear integrates with all androidowymi music players allowing you to skip tracks, pause, redo and adjust the playback volume. In addition, if the developer took care of the watchmaking application, you can perform more advanced tasks such as freely navigate through playlists. Soon on this type of functionality is to be enhanced Spotify.

Eighth – notes
The Google system is available multiple notebooks, but I think the watch is performing best to Keep. Wear admittedly can not yet make notes completely without contact in Polish, but after the launch mousetrap and selecting the appropriate option it is possible to dictate voice notes or letters. I thus create shopping lists, to which I have convenient access later in the store.

Ninth – Fitness
Android SmartWatch Wear are also useful as activity monitors. The system is tightly integrated with the Google platform allowing Fit counting steps, estimating the distance traveled or the analysis of pulse , but there is nothing to prevent the install another application of this type.

I liked in particular apka fell to the Jawbone UP, of which more I wrote here. With Android Wear they are also compatible trap Endomondo, runtastic or RunKeeper, so that all necessary information during training are displayed on the wrist.

What else?
Android Wear offers much more or less useful features. There were here vibration alarm, timer, stopwatch and agenda. From experience I know that SmartWatch features gives in conjunction with headphones bluetooth . Such a tandem allows you to throw the phone in your pocket, backpack or purse and take care of everything from the watch; of receiving and making calls, by controlling the music player, to the use of navigation.
Google’s system even watch movements in Poland is therefore very functional and I dare say that in this field is second to none.
