Google is officially getting into wearables. The company has announced Android Wear, a version of the operating system designed specifically for wearable devices. To start with, the system is made for smartwatches, and Google is moving aggressively to make itself the key name in wearables.

There are several key features that have been announced. Of course, fitness is a key component. Google says that you’ll be able to get “real-time speed, distance and time information on your wrist for your run, cycle or walk.” Naturally, that means Google Maps will be built in so that you’ll be able to get directions directly from your wrist.
The company will also be using Google Now in the watches. Automatic, passive reminders will be sent to users via their smartwatch. The watches will also connect with Android smartphones so that you’ll be able to get all the notifications that you want from whatever apps you have installed on your phone.

Re: Android Wear
That Moto 360 looks absolutely beautiful, much cleaner looking than all the Samsung gear smartwatches, waiting for HTC to show their take on Android wear before buying, am good with my Fitbit Force for now.
