Google’s Android watches offer more information by just having a glance on your smartwatch

Google is looking forward to get the information as quickly as possible from the smartwatch.  To materialize the idea, the search engine giant recently announced new features for watch faces using Android and powered by customized Google built software that has been made very specifically to be used by wearables.

The new face of the watch will allow people to see the information immediately for example like weather update, step counter etc when they just glance at the smartwatch and they don’t need to change the screen to get that information.  As stated by Google the new feature will soon be available in near future hopefully.  Moreover it was also revealed that just tapping the face of the watch would change the entire design, give more information and even a specific application can be launched to facilitate the user.


This new step is an indication that Google is catering the requests by users to view the information by their smart watches more conveniently and display is more user friendly.  Last year when the Android wear watches got launched, Google made sure that their face is quite simpler for users to tackle as the idea of wearing computer on the wrist was quite new for them.

Apple watch gives its users the room to perform some functions from the default screen for example starting alarm, checking fitness features etc.  However, overall the watch face has remained mainly simple.  In contrast to Apple’s design, Google is trying to create such watch faces that are according to the interests of the people.  An example of a watch face by UnderArmour is that it displays step counter or gives the number of calories user has burned.  Another option for watch face is that it gives count of unread emails or details of coming up meetings.
