What feature would you like to see come to Android Wear?

[cjohn4043]

Besides the things Google has announced coming to Android Wear relatively soon, what other thing(s) would you like to see come to the platform?

I'd like to be able to see all emails/texts, and choose which one I want to reply to, rather than only being able to reply to the latest one.

I would like to see maybe a little bit more email integration like if I get a email with a photo attachment that if I swipe to see more it shows the picture involved with it and maybe the entire email. If what I have just said is already in android wear then I am sorry I still havent gotten my moto 360 in the mail

I would like the ability to "thumb up" songs in google play music from the watch without having to use wearable widgets.

Few MAJOR issues for me (I have Moto360)... the rest are not as major:

1. I want to be able to hide the cards... NOT dismiss them but rather "tuck" them back with a swipe down from the main screen. The Snooze swipe gesture can become a swipe from the top edge. Why am I asking this? Because I find Google Now extremely useful and I want to be able to go back to my cards whenever I want. Since I dismiss them now on my watch, my Google Now screen on my phone is almost always empty and I'm used to going there to see useful information.

2. Give me an option to select how long the screen stays on after wake. I'd like it to be a second longer but I can't change it.

3. I want to be able to bring up the Hangouts app whenever I want because sometimes I swipe away the notification just to clear the screen but I want to read/reply later.

4. Give me a way to manage pre-installed apps. I don't want to have 2 different heart monitor apps. Basically, do it like on a phone/tablet.

5. A better default launcher. It's probably the way it is now because it's sort of a "demo" version and Google wants people to see what they can do.

6. Smaller font option for notifications. I think it's so big because the screen PPI is so low and smaller text would look really bad. I'm sure next gen. will be better

You can already do that with the Wear Messenger app. I have the moto 360 and the Gear Live and it works great

Shake or double tap to wake. My watch is to sensitive.

Allow me to see a history of dismissed notifications!

The ability to change the sensitivity of how fast the watch turns on when i look at my watch, right now it's too slow and ambient mode drains too much.

Ability to delete emails from the watch

Step counter is absurdly inaccurate


Ability to read whole email, not just a snippet

I want to be able to use my watch to tap to pay via google wallet. That way I don't have to take out my credit card or phone.

Then your watch would need nfc and I don't think any of the current models have that, do they?

Put a speaker in these things

You can delete emails from the watch and you can read the whole thing. Just tap on it.

I have not seen any with them yet. But I believe that is something that they need to do. It would be awesome to pay for something without having to take your wallet or phone out of your pocket....

Thumb up functionality crept in with a recent update, I have not seen anyone mention this. Goodbye wearable widgets!

 

[easytarget76]

I would like to be able to use my bluetooth earpiece as a headphone speaker and use that to have 'sound from my watch'. Also i would like to see the "flickkey" key board intergrated into wear os.

Sony Smartwatch 3 has NFC

I just discovered the ability to disable "tilt to awake." That was a huge battery killer when I'm at work and my watch would awake every couple minutes.

What I would like to see is a better, integrated, lock screen, or better yet, just an option to disable the touch screen in ambient mode. That way water won't trigger Google Search when I'm at work. I work at a deli and slicing meats always triggered the tilt to awake feature, and doing dishes is a touch screens worst nightmare.

I discovered this recently as well. With the tilt to wake feature turned off, I noticed a dramatic battery life increase. Perhaps I am just too animated in day to day life.
