> Today, Android Wear for iOS works with the LG Watch Urbane. All future Android Wear watches, including those from Huawei (pictured above), Asus, and Motorola will also support iOS, so stay tuned for more.<p>It's unfortunate it won't work with older Android Wear watches like, say the Moto 360. But I'm glad it finally happened; almost every year I switch back and forth between an iPhone and an Android and was a little sad that my Moto 360 would no longer be my companion with my iPhone 6+.<p>Edit: Looks like it the older ones work as long as you update it via an Android phone first. Nice!
I wonder how well Android Wear supports iOS features compared to the Apple Watch. For example, replying to text messages, receiving notifications, etc. Is there any info on this?
I'm still a little bit shocked that this is real. It's almost too good to be true.<p>I know it won't have full OS integration, but even with iOS I use Google's services way more than what Apple provides. I still like my 1st-gen pebble, but moving to a Moto360 would be like moving on from a B&W television. Hallelujah.<p>It will be really interesting if/when they will be able to support 3rd party apps...
A rule of thumb, always buy wearable that works with your Personal Assistant(Siri, GoogleNow, Cortana). Its not just cool factor, but the added productivity or avoiding taking the phone out for certain basic-medium tasks is really where the value of a wearable is.
It would be great to see Apple do the same...
They have done this with Apple music (support on Android), if it will help you sell more watches/subscriptions would it hurt?
FYI for the curious: It does work with my older Moto 360 and iPhone, but some caveats:<p>- It seems to need the iOS app running all the time, otherwise get a constant, undismissable "Touch to reconnect" on Watch, unlike on Android.<p>- Wifi from watch does not work.<p>- Very limited watch face selection, unlike Android.
