Google has a wide range of operating systems. Android and variants of the operating system such as Android Auto, Android TV and the one we talk about today, Android Wear. The operating system for devices wearables market and is being well received.
After a time in the market, it has been in the last update where we have received major upgrades. With Android 5.1.1 for Android Wear in our watch we could connect to the WiFi network and be independently from our smartphone. As you know, and if it is not we explained it, with Android Wear watches you require a smartphone to be connected by Bluetooth to connect to the Internet. With this update, it is no longer necessary.
This means that if your watch is connected to the same WiFi network as the smartphone you will not require Bluetooth. A smart way to significantly improve the range between watch and smartphone. But not all users of Android Wear can use this new feature, only those who have a Moto 360, Sony SmartWatch 3 or LG G Watch Urbane.
To do this you need to use the Android Wear application that you should already have on your smartphone to pair the two devices. Here we go to "Settings" and then to "Cloud Sync" and activate it. Now we are going to watch, we move to the settings and "WiFi Settings" appear. Here we connect to it and it will ask if we have the password, then we open the application on our smartphone to enter the password. Once introduced, we will be connected to the WiFi network.
- Go to Android Wear settings on the smartphone
- Cloud Sync enabled
- Android Wear settings on the watch now
- Go to WiFi Settings and tap on the desired network
- Open application on the device to enter the password (if any)
- Ready
A very simple to do and for any user with Moto 360, Smartwatch 3 or LG G Watch Urbane watch should try it.
