Android Wear v1.3 scores new features and functions

A well needed firmware update will be hitting Android Wear smartwatches in the near future. The update will bring all sorts of new features. According to Android Police, here are just some of them:

• Interactive watch faces that respond to your touch
• Together watch face to keep you connected to a friend
• Weather app to see the forecast for the next 4 days
• Translate app that lets you tilt your wrist to share a translation

The update is slated as version 1.3 for the Android Wear companion application.
Google is hoping the app will help close the gap between its Android Wear platform and Apple’s Watch OS. Developers will be able to add these features to their apps as soon as the firmware updates arrive. The update is rolling out to Android Wear smartwatch owners in the comping days, so be patient. Note that none of the changes will take place until Google releases the official firmware update for your select Android Wear smartwatch. Once both the smartwatch and the Android Wear application on your smartphone or tablet are up to date, you will begin seeing the new features.
