So far, Android watches (one manufacturer including Motorola, LG Electronics …) do not work with a smartphone on Android too, while iPhone users could use the Apple Watch, launched in the spring by the Apple brand.
But Google has started rolling Monday an Android update Wear, Android version dedicated to clothing accessories connected, which is compatible with iOS, the iPhone OS and iPad.
“Now android wear watches work with iPhone”, says the internet giant in a message posted on its official blog. This
however, that is for new models of connected watches. For now, Android Wear for iOS only works for the Urbane shows LG.
But “all future watches (using) android wear, including Huawei, Asus and Motorola agree iOS,” says Google.
This is likely to put pressure on Apple Watch, although android wear remains less used than its version for smartphones: the great rival Apple in the mobile market, South Korea’s Samsung, and uses its own operating system, Tizen, for most of its connected watches <. br /> Apple did not disclose sales figures of its new shows connected, released in April, but the research firm IDC said last week he had passed 3.6 million units in the second quarter or 19.9% of global sales this period. This allowed the US group to directly take second place in the global market for electronic clothing accessories (“wearables”) behind the Fitbit fitness bracelets manufacturer
