Most smartwatches and wearable tech in general present your information in a very crude manner. Android Wear, a newly announced OS from Google, is set to change all of that. The main focus of Android Wear will be a more responsive experience that gives you the information you need when you need it. It will deliver traffic updates on your commute, alert you to the weather when you wake up, and can work with apps to inform you of odd things like jellyfish warnings before you hit the surf. It also will respond to voice commands so you don’t have to tap away on it every time you need some info. Look for it on the Moto 360 and more devices coming soon.
