It is a big effort to retrieve and search for smartphones every time. In other words, there is great waste in accessing information using smartphones.


On the other hand, if you are a smart watch, you can just grind your eyes on your arm.


Easy access to information you want to know and efficient.


In the first place on smartphones the act of finding what you want to do from a lot of apps itself is causing time loss.


For this reason it is not clever to divert the same icon to a smart watch.


The UI of Android Wear is simple like this. Information displayed is selected carefully, such as time, temperature and weather.


If there is something you want to investigate, you can search all by voice command OK.


Also, the search content is displayed in the context according to the time and case.


Furthermore, it is possible to display information according to the context on smart watch even if you do not investigate from here every time. This seems to be notifying the flight information in advance.


"Stack" function to organize the concerned information, "Page" function to display relevant information, and "Reply" function to take action on the investigated information are prepared.


Google said that it will prepare developers' environment such as SDK for Android Wear application developers.


I'm looking forward to announcing Google's smart watch.
