[quote]There are several key features that have been announced. Of course, fitness is a key component. Google says that you'll be able to get "real-time speed, distance and time information on your wrist for your run, cycle or walk." Naturally, that means Google Maps will be built in so that you'll be able to get directions directly from your wrist.
The company will also be using Google Now in the watches. Automatic, passive reminders will be sent to users via their smartwatch. The watches will also connect with Android smartphones so that you'll be able to get all the notifications that you want from whatever apps you have installed on your phone.
You'll also be able to say "OK Google" to perform voice searches, à la Google Now. Lastly, the company is teasing multi-screen functionality from the smartwatches that use the operating system. As an example, Google says that you can use a voice command to cast a video to your Chromecast or get a certain song to play on your phone. It's not hard to imagine more exciting uses for this technology as Google works to get Android into more hardware around the world, such as the connected smarthomes and cars of the future.

Looks like someone has finally beaten Apple to the punch with a new product category that's actually executed well. Google Now especially is the perfect software for something like this, and nobody else has anything close.

I would actually wear that, will I get one? Lol no, taking a phone out of my pocket isn't hard. Plus I prefer classic analogue watches.

That's pretty cool. I doubt I'll get one though, my phone seems to suffice enough for information.
