Per quanto strano possa sembrare, utilizzare uno smartwatch collegato ad un iPhone è alquanto semplice; ecco tutti i principali passaggi da svolgere:
- è necessario innanzitutto possedere un watch Android Wear che supporti iOS
- navigare sulla sezione Bluetooth (necessario avere 4.0) ed accoppiare lo smartphone
- è necessario avere un dispositivo Apple a partire da iPhone 5 in su, come per Apple Watch
- è necessario disporre di iOS 8.2 o più recente.
Una volta accoppiato il proprio smartwatch con l’iPhone sarà possibile ricevere notifiche, impostare obiettivi di fitness e monitorare la propria attività fisica, ricevere informazioni rilevanti da Google Now e così via.
È ora supportato il comando vocale “OK Google” per attivare Now e chiedere ricerche nel web semplicemente parlando al proprio smartphone.
Come tutte le novità, necessiterà sicuramente di qualche tempo per maturare. Ad oggi, Android Wear per iOS funziona solo su LG Watch Urbane, ma secondo il colosso di Mountain View in futuro ogni dispositivo smartwatch di Android supporterà iOS.

Android Wear now works with iPhones
August 31, 2015When you wear something every day, you want to be sure it really works for you. That’s why Android Wear offers countless design choices, so you can find the watch that fits your style. Want a round watch with a more classic look? Feel like a new watch band? How about changing things up every day with watch faces from artists and designers? With Android Wear you can do all of that. And now, Android Wear watches work with iPhones.
Android Wear for iOS is rolling out today. Just pair your iPhone (iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, 6, or 6 Plus running iOS 8.2+) with an Android Wear watch to bring simple and helpful information right to your wrist:
- Get your info at a glance: Check important info like phone calls, messages, and notifications from your favorite apps. Android Wear features always-on displays, so you’ll never have to move your wrist to wake up your watch.
- Follow your fitness: Set fitness goals, and get daily and weekly views of your progress. Your watch automatically tracks walking and running, and even measures your heart rate.
- Save time with smart help: Receive timely tips like when to leave for appointments, current traffic info, and flight status. Just say “Ok Google” to ask questions like “Is it going to rain in London tomorrow?” or create to-dos with “Remind me to pack an umbrella.”
Today, Android Wear for iOS works with the LG Watch Urbane. All future Android Wear watches, including those from Huawei (pictured above), Asus, and Motorola will also support iOS, so stay tuned for more.
Dr. Seuss once said: “Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” We agree. So whoever You are, and whatever You like—Android Wear lets you wear what you want.
