You may have heard the mighty buzz building around Android Wear recently, but do you know what lies beneath the glossy hype. It is worthwhile to understand the many uses of Android Wear. Many perceive to be just a gadget that merely reduces the number of times you have to keep looking at your smart phone, and a fancy new way to tell the time. Surely, there is more to it and though it is a new concept and improvements will take place down the line, in its current avatar, it may still be useful to the user. It is merely a question of getting accustomed to the concept and applying it as a lifestyle-facilitating device. Here are some of the primary uses that can be derived out of the Android Wear gear by users:

While Travelling in Your Car

When you have the Android Smart Watch on your wrist, you know it is easily accessible when you are driving. You do not have to take your attention off the road. All that is required is a shake of the wrist to activate it and you can now give it voice inputs. You can use it to start navigation, open up apps on your smart phone, send text messages and even initiate calls. You can achieve all this without picking up your phone and getting distracted while driving. Needless to say, the benefits of this are tremendous. Very soon we will be reading reports of how road accidents have reduced dramatically with more and more drivers using Android Wear.

When You Are In The Meeting

It may be argued you should not be seen fiddling with your smart watch or appear to be speaking to it. Well, you do not have to activate the voice feature necessarily. Android Smart Watch wear has a responses list that you can use to just inform the person from whom you have got a call or a message that you are very much there for them and will be responding later on. They will then understand you are in a place where you are not able to use the phone.

At Home

Even at home, you need to keep using your smart phone and lose battery power. Use it the same way you are when you are out and keep your hands free. You remain connected to your smart phone all the time even when it has run out of battery power.

Automation In Your Home

Now you would be able to control the working of some of the home appliances through your smart watch. Just talk to it to toggle the phone Wi-Fi or tune the thermostat or even to turn on and off lights. Yes, not all of them may be possible right away but the future is very much going to be driven by automation and by getting accustomed to using your Android Wear, you would be preparing well for it. Android Wear is a brilliant concept and very much possible to implement on a wider scale. As more applications and utilities surface, you will have more users eager to use it. The cost too would then come down and make it affordable for anybody with a smart phone.
