Did a lot of work on this one. Most Android Wear owners know most of this stuff but if you know someone who needs some tutorials, here you go. I had to upgrade my video editing suite just to blur out the barcodes O.o lol. Anyway, enjoy! :)
Good vid! I'm looking for an android watch that I can make and answer calls on. Whilst cycling I'd like to be able to have a phone conversation through the watch, without touching my Samsung Mobile. Is this possible with this watch? If not, is there another android watch that does? Thanks!
Gear 2 for samsung is able to make calls and has pretty much similar features to android wear except Google now and navigation. It also runs Samsungs Tizen OS But I though should let you know if you were looking for something that could make calls also DjK Productions
Joseph Hindy criticism, some videos feel undercooked and rushed to publish and others are just obvious. Most of them are good though, that is why I subscribed in the 1st place👍
is there any app to download where u can sync a stopwatch so it'd be the same on the watch as it is on the phone? now I have to set 2 diff ones - 1 on the watch and 1 on the phone.
I'm from New Zealand and we can't get Google wallet. Could I just take a picture of the card. Then screen shot it, then crop it, then place into Google keep, or do I need wallet?
+Aja_ Marie Given that there is no file manager on smartwatches it is a way of installing Android apps to the watch via ADB commands. Yes theoretically you can install normal apk files designed for Android phones on Android Wear. A couple of examples I've seen are Minecraft Pocket Edition, Doom, and Windows 95 through adosbox emulator =P Yes I know, not very practical or functional but you can use that feature nevertheless for proof of concept stuff or just to test apps/games..... because it's Android and we can ;)
+TheLast2nd you prolly can answer my question then. my goal would be to connect at the same time my g watch for example and a Bluetooth earpiece so my phone could be in my pocket, on my watch I see the caller and can choose to answer it via my Bluetooth earpiece or not. is this a possible thing with a g watch ?
I have a galaxy note 2 with Android 4.3 will these android watches work with my phone? Also what's the best watch in your opinion? Price isn't a problem
Moto 360 is the best watch especially after the last update which made a big improvement to battery life and performance. I think they work with android 4.3 and above but I could be wrong.
Joseph Hindy yes, it's subjective, because an example: the sw3 of Sony have GPS, a better processor, better battery, Micro USB charging, IP 68, and etc... The moto 360 it's beauty nothing else
Why deal with the Loyalty Program Barcodes when it's faster for you to just tell the person at the register your phone number, or type it in on the card machine?
You should download "Wear Mini Launcher" It allows you to swipe from the left side of your smart watch to bring up all your apps. 3 less steps to get to your apps
Notice how most of the videos of "smart watch" demos have the person NOT wearing it but hold it in their hand. It's so funny, I would be embarrassed to wear one in public.
***** Coming from a Huawei Watch owner, with it on your wrist, you'd need two hands to navigate it (unless you seriously wanna use wrist gestures) and you'd have to hold your elbow out pretty far to get a camera in between. But sure, it's not hard at all.
Lollipop isn't even out yet dude. What do you want us to do? Travel forward in time on the official Android Authority time machine, report on it, and travel back? Lol patience dude.
+MTZ384 I believe most watches have custom roms available for them on the internet. Turning on ABD allowsyour watch to interface with a computer, so that these roms can be flashed.
I bought some Casio Proteks that are atomic sync'd and solar charged, maintenance free forever, grab them and go and the time is always right within plus minus 5 seconds. My smart watch was useless, and now Android Wear is dead and nothing google on it works anymore... the play store, the apps, the mail, nothing. The question is, what is the entire world suppose to do with their dead useless Android Wear watches. If you create a product, you should support it forever, esp. if the world adopts it as an operating system.
how do you guys get this problems,I've never had that happen once,I just use headphones and I don't keep the ok google functionality opened so I wouldn't drain my battery faster.
Why would you tell someone to enable ADB without actually using it for a purpose? All that does is open you up to security risks for literally no purpose.
Funny to seee how the OS has changed! Now all that seems archaic really. Wanna know what I'm talking about? Head over to my channel, where a video of the latest version of Android wear is expecting you.
Why would u need a smartwatch? Can somebody who has one please explain any benefit with one of these (PS looking like a virgin isn't one of them lol) no really tho who's stupid enough to buy one of these? I'm happy with my HTC m8, why would I ever need to look at my wrist like I'm some bloke off star trek this is 2014 I'll look at my fuckin wrist when they have a hologram on it
the moto 360 steel and the lg watch r are pretty good looking, if you wear a watch and it's not a rolex I'd say get them as they look better than any regular watch and dont cost that much in comparison.. other than that the only really useful one is the gear s, since it's a standalone device I use it when I go to the gym or the beach and I dont want to carry my phone around
You can easily dictate messages to your android wear device and have it send them to the recipient without looking at your phone. I've gotten to the point when I'm driving that I can dictate texts to my LG G Watch and it will automatically send the texts to a friend, family member, or anyone on my contacts list that I ask it to send it to. Also I can easily set up navigational directions via my LG G Watch without having to pick up my phone. Smart Watches are great when you are in a situation where you can't use your phone. Such as when you are driving in states or areas where it is illegal to text and drive or use your phone while driving. Works great when used with a in car dock of some kind. Also allows you to answer calls without touching the phone, however only some smart watches actually allow you to talk through them mainly Samsung Smart Watches with the exception of the Samsung Gear Live.
Did a lot of work on this one. Most Android Wear owners know most of this stuff but if you know someone who needs some tutorials, here you go. I had to upgrade my video editing suite just to blur out the barcodes O.o lol. Anyway, enjoy! :)
Blur barcodes? Just use annotations to cover them 😉
Chris Druif way too much work lol.
You know damn well like me that you can turn annotations off on the desktop and won't even show on mobile 😉
Chris Druif and if we don't have annotations turned on? 😛
pbananah1 Then you're basically a hacker.
Whats the use of enabling adb on my watch?
Bruno Bandeira connecting to pc
i immediately subbed just because of how well you did the first couple seconds of the video.
Good vid!

No, that tech isn't possible yet. None of these have speakers. You can answer texts without touching your mobile device but not phone calls yet.
Joseph Hindy thanks!
Am I right in thinking that you can use a bluetooth ear piece to do this?
Yep. that'd do it.
Joseph Hindy cheers!
I'm getting one!
Gear 2 for samsung is able to make calls and has pretty much similar features to android wear except Google now and navigation. It also runs Samsungs Tizen OS But I though should let you know if you were looking for something that could make calls also DjK Productions
Is it worth it to get a smart watch now, or keep waiting?
Great video, I look forward to trying it out.
How about a link to the Bruce Lee pic on your G Watch?
Cant wait mines coming in the mail!!
Wheres the video(s) about the new nexus devices that were announced?
Will you guys be giving away any android wear watches?
hai, may i know what is brand for this smart watch?
Thanks for this tip video bro
Quality>Quantity, this whole channel applies.
I don't know if that's positive feedback or constructive criticism. Lol.
Joseph Hindy criticism, some videos feel undercooked and rushed to publish and others are just obvious. Most of them are good though, that is why I subscribed in the 1st place👍
that's a nice tip to put the loyalty barcode on the watch!!
is there any app to download where u can sync a stopwatch so it'd be the same on the watch as it is on the phone? now I have to set 2 diff ones - 1 on the watch and 1 on the phone.
Any idea when the gear circle may release?
I'd like to know where to get the Bruce Lee watch face. Can't find it anywhere online.
Thanks.
Any other punks out there who saw NOFX at 1:25 ?
No
What's the background? and where do I find it
I didn't realize how sensitive my phone is, Google now opened when you said okay Google lol
Me too haha.
Yeah my phone did the same, also so did my smart watch, lol.
Is there any other way to view images on the smartwatch like google photos?
like a pro? it looks like a normal use.
Hey.....which android wear company was this.....sony?
LG
I'm going out on this site .
Srrsly when dose the pg g watch r come out
is there any app out there that lets you see your text messages from your lg g-watch without opening your phone????
I'm from New Zealand and we can't get Google wallet. Could I just take a picture of the card. Then screen shot it, then crop it, then place into Google keep, or do I need wallet?
what brand this watch
+Juhar Idris that watch is G watch, but that is really old watch. I recommend LG urbane 2nd edition lte.
Juhar Idris LG
Joseph Hindy any reason why you're not using Photo (default app) to edit the screenshot? :|
Because Aviary has more controls, is easier, and because it's uninstallable once it's done.
hello, can you tell me why we need to enable the developer setting and ADB? What does this do and is it necessary to do on my smartwatch?
+Aja_ Marie Given that there is no file manager on smartwatches it is a way of installing Android apps to the watch via ADB commands.
Yes theoretically you can install normal apk files designed for Android phones on Android Wear. A couple of examples I've seen are Minecraft Pocket Edition, Doom, and Windows 95 through adosbox emulator =P Yes I know, not very practical or functional but you can use that feature nevertheless for proof of concept stuff or just to test apps/games..... because it's Android and we can ;)

I believe it is either the LG G Watch or the Asus Zen Watch but it is most likely the former.
+Kyle Netherwood thanks à lot
+Jean-Philippe Bégin LG G Watch. I have it. It's awesome.

this is which smartwatch I want to buy this
No need to use Google Keep Note. Just use StoCard
Thu Win Or Evernote
Bruno Bandeira StoCard show the cards as a barcode so easy to scan.
Is nexus 6 too big? Because I love it, but i'm afraid it will be too big
I have a galaxy note 2 with Android 4.3 will these android watches work with my phone? Also what's the best watch in your opinion? Price isn't a problem
Moto 360 is the best watch especially after the last update which made a big improvement to battery life and performance. I think they work with android 4.3 and above but I could be wrong.
6644pmr best is subjective. All these watches operate pretty much the same. It comes down to style opinion.
Joseph Hindy yes, it's subjective, because an example: the sw3 of Sony have GPS, a better processor, better battery, Micro USB charging, IP 68, and etc... The moto 360 it's beauty nothing else
What is adb debugging?
Why deal with the Loyalty Program Barcodes when it's faster for you to just tell the person at the register your phone number, or type it in on the card machine?
Because you can...because it's fun...because it could be useful. Because why not? Because reasons :)
You should download
"Wear Mini Launcher"
It allows you to swipe from the left side of your smart watch to bring up all your apps.
3 less steps to get to your apps
What's that watch face
Notice how most of the videos of "smart watch" demos have the person NOT wearing it but hold it in their hand. It's so funny, I would be embarrassed to wear one in public.
lol
+HOWYOUDOIN884 Perhaps it's because it'd be hard to present the watch when it's strapped to your wrist, facing yourself?
+Bryan Lee I think that's not true
***** Coming from a Huawei Watch owner, with it on your wrist, you'd need two hands to navigate it (unless you seriously wanna use wrist gestures) and you'd have to hold your elbow out pretty far to get a camera in between. But sure, it's not hard at all.
not to tech savy, can u help please with supersonic sc64sw SmartWatch with call feature, how to get apps
Bill Bradford I've never heard of that watch before
now have the Asus zenwatch 2
I cant enable developer option on my sony smartwatch 2. Any suggestions?
Not a single video yet for Android 5 Lollipop !!!!
And this channel is called Android Authority
Lollipop isn't even out yet dude. What do you want us to do? Travel forward in time on the official Android Authority time machine, report on it, and travel back? Lol patience dude.
mike white not to mention that we put out a lollipop video like 6 hours after this, right after the preview builds came out for the Nexus 5 lol. #onit
My problem is all the watch face I purchased from google play does not show up on the watch but apps does. Anybody know how make it work?
ok did i miss something, why turn on ADB?
+MTZ384 I believe most watches have custom roms available for them on the internet. Turning on ABD allowsyour watch to interface with a computer, so that these roms can be flashed.
why are you censoring the card number when you can EASLY just press , and . when paused to skip frame by frame?

Some ridiculously complicated hints that may or may not work. Thanks.
Are you kidding - all that hassle just to put a loyalty card barcode on your watch??
When Hindy said ok Google.. My search opened up.. Oh Google you rascal!
Hehehe good!
