Yeah I saw that with the accounts, which is very cool for people with multiple accounts. I keep thinking someday this will work like my bluetooth headphones that can be paired to two phones at once. Thanks for replying.
The problem is that even though there's a lot of new independence built into Android Wear 2.0, it still heavily leans on an attached phone for data. It wants to be connected to just one phone, anything else would be confusing to it.
Andrew, do you expect any LTE Android Wear watches to ever support Project Fi sims? While it's always fun to pay the extra device fee from At&t, having Fi capability would be great. Thanks
I have no knowledge of a Project Fi-compatible watch coming. My guess would be that there's a limited amount of resources to go into things like that, and when it comes down to it it's money better spent to have it working with AT&T and Verizon first.
Here's my scenario, when I'm driving and my phone is connected to my car via Bluetooth I only have limited controls on the car to control my music, such as next/ back/ pause/ volume etc.
So what I do if I want to play specific track/s is I use voice control on my watch, such as "Ok Google - play Meatloaf" or ""Ok Google - play album....."
This works great apart from it will always use Google play music, which means my play stats don't get updated to my Pc, as I normally use Media Monkey.
I know this isn't much of a problem in the grand scheme of things but it would be great if I could get it to work as I want.
I hope the above makes sense, things sound right in my head but they sometimes come out jumbled when I try put them down on paper.
Yeah I get it. The difference now is that the voice control on the watch is Google Assistant running solely on the watch, not a conduit to controlling your phone. So if you were to try and play music, it would start playing on the watch (and through headphones presumably you have paired directly to the watch).
Whether or not a music service integrates with voice control on the watch would theoretically just be up to the music app. Much like multiple music services work with Google Home today.
Hope that helps!
Can you compare to the Urbane 2nd edition LTE? Size, weight, comfort? Main thing I dislike about the Urbane 2nd edition LTE is the plastic back that gets a little sweaty. A small window for HRM and mostly metal or textured plastic would probably be nicer, but looks like this may be fairly similar.
I dont have an Urbane 2nd Edition ... but I do have an original Urbane. The Watch Sport has a similar plastic back, and dimensions-wise they're both similar. If you find one uncomfortable there will be no jou for you in the other.
