The modern world does not stand still, a person comes up with new technologies, making them more functional, comfortable and elegant. While being with friends in a coffee shop, it annoys many that every five minutes a friend looks at the phone, but now you can eliminate it and enjoy the company. You can do this using the clock on Android.
Main functions
Many people do not know why we need a watch on Android. The basic functions are very simple: depending on the models for each wallet, you can find the functionality of a different range.
The simplest models offer smartphone control, a heart rate monitor, notifications, and serious models are pumped up to a strong battery charge, have a navigator, send notifications, give a choice - a sensor or dial on the screen, voice response, SMS dialing, cloud usage, an alarm clock.
By the way, many developers say that if there is a vibration motor, the gadget will monitor the person’s sleep state, making his awakening very easy and unconstrained. In general, the watch will always stay in touch, how is this relevant for modern people.
So, the main functions of “smart” gadgets are to notify about calls to the smartphone, email, SMS and social networking activities, control of sports achievements (counting calories, activity, heart rate monitor), phone control (photo, music, search).
Models
But are smart devices suitable only for a business person? For every taste you can choose an accessory. For athletes recommend fitness bracelets, which are now successfully complement the clock and notifications on the phone. Fits Fitbit, Nike and Polar successfully cope with this task. Now you can enjoy your favorite music while playing sports, without trying to answer the call from the phone, but simply switch the necessary notifications on the clock.
Another interesting model - Lifetrak R450. Many claim that they have a heart rate monitor, which is the most accurate of a smart watch, accepting all notifications and activities. In addition, you can switch music, see what your friends are doing on social networks, plot routes and check the weather.
True, there is one drawback: for Russian users, the text will be in the squares. Hopefully, this misunderstanding will be refined and soon everyone will be able to see an improved model for the sport.

Features
If there are still doubts about the versatility of smart watches, I think some features will dispel them.
- First, some models with Wi-fi support can receive notifications not only via Bluetooth. This means that you can safely forget the phone at home, and still know what is happening with the page in social networks. For example, models such as Moto 360-2 and LG Urbane can easily let go to run or slowly drink coffee without a phone.
- Secondly, the watch is comfortable. Both in a sock, and in operation. It is not necessary to look into the manual each time. Now, when a person is constantly involved in the action, I don’t want to waste time on any nonsense or labor-intensive operations with a smartphone. With the clock on Android, it is permissible to slightly stretch the pleasant little things, and you can forget about the operations on the phone by clicking on the buttons of the smart watch.
New models are relatively available to most people. Smartphone companies increasingly want to get a niche with the market of smart devices, making them more functional, more accessible and more convenient, and not forgetting the financial policy.
One of the features is compatibility with the device. Beautiful design can fail, making the watch useless. When buying, be sure to check the compatibility of the model with the phone, and only then you can accurately determine the design that almost every company provides in any format.
Be sure to consult about the battery life of the watch.If the watch is presented in a monochrome screen, the work is designed for 4-5 days of continuous charging, while color models can provide work in 1-2 days. The main thing is to know exactly which functions are preferable and the correct model will be selected.
Smart devices can reflect the individuality of a person, his style, taste preferences. This is an important part of the modern world, which dictates its own rules, and you always want to stay on top of style and beauty.
Benefits
The advantage of these models is the equipment of various important functions, and each company offers something unusual and new for the consumer.
The Android base gives access to cloud services, which undoubtedly pushes forward, leaving competitors behind. And this is not surprising, because Google is a popular and current search giant. If we talk about the search engine, then the Android-based watch uses Knowledge Graph Voice, a voice engine. You can search for anything - from the nearest restaurants to the number of stars in the constellation of Orion. Suffice to say Google's cherished words Ok or open the g tab, and all the answers will be shown.
Android Wear has another advantage - the watch allows you to share and save content. You will be able to see the saved later, and you can immediately share urgent messages or notifications.
Smart watches have an interesting advantage - a sleep sensor and an alarm clock. Hours wake up with a soft vibration, now you can accurately arrive at work on time. Hours can read special QR codes, for example, for tickets for a plane or train. Nice and helpful.
Updates
A new update is now planned to launch a smart watch on the Android platform. In addition to technical updates of the screen and design, the data transfer system from applications to the phone will be simplified. Under the influence will fall and fashion fitness programs, calorie calculations will be added, the exact heart rate monitor.

Development prospects
The developers promise to soon make models of watches that will be responsible for things that are not related to the information environment. It remains to guess what new technologies will lead to, but according to forecasts, soon the smartphone can be simply worn on the wrist, but whether it will become an integral part of life or just be like a stylish accessory remains unknown. Most likely, it depends on the way of life, what needs and values become essential for a person.
