Android Wear Now Compatible With iPhone, iOS App Launches Today

As long as the watch is running the latest version of Android Wear, it will work.
Factory reset and then pair with iPhone.
A year or so late... If this was available a year ago, I may have suffered through one of the Wear devices while I waited for something better.
Anyone use the LG devices? The 360 was kind of junky, but the LG looks like it has potential...

My friend, you really should stop dissing round watches, because you're gonna look bad when Apple makes one to compete with Android WearWe went through the same silly debate with smaller tablets, larger phones, multitasking, widgets of some sort, notifications, etc. It's getting old.
Not to mention that the 38mm Apple Watch shows less text than the 42mm, so that argument is also bogus.
To answer your question, the top usually shows the sender.

Notice that Android Wear round watches sometimes show MORE text than the Apple rectangular face, because its reply menus are on another page.
It frivolous. If the Moto 360 was square and the Apple Watch was round, then everyone would be dissing square watches. It's a losing battle either way.
Also, I'm amazed how people aren't happy about having more choice. This is very smart move by Google, and I'm sure the smartwatch manufacturers are thanking Google as well. This may push me to try out a cheaper smartwatch to see how well smartwatches work.
With that said, I'm not sure why people complain about the price of the Apple Watch so much when every review I've seen says that the Apple Watch has the best build quality and materials than any other smartwatch.
A lot of people not realizing their fanboy is showing today.
I think many would choose less expensive (moto 360) or arguably more stylish (lg urbane) over having actionable notifications. I wouldn't, but I'm very much a gadget guy and wore a plastic Pebble for a year, so the Apple Watch Sport feels like the pinnacle of fashion in comparison.
I think this may hurt Pebble more than Apple Watch though. The less expensive devices like Moto 360 essentially do everything Pebble does on iOS and more (voice search, nicer screen). Pebble pretty much has battery life and that's it.

Very good points. Not to mention the pebble is really showing how outdated it looks. Just a few months ago it still did not look that bad IMO, but now, after the apple watch, it looks 10 years old.
True, I think the new metal ones coming out look nicer, but they aren't competitively priced. I really liked the watch I had from them, faults and all, and I do still root for them as the little guys. I think if they want to make it then they should look into getting an ultra-affordable device on the market that just focuses on doing a few things well. A decent-looking $99 max eInk smartwatch could fill a niche and is realistic if they just focus on notifications, custom watchfaces, and a pedometer.
The Pebble Time Steel? I didn't know they had shipped yet. Is the screen a large part of the issue? I feel like color eInk was a bad direction to go as it looks like a gameboy to me. I didn't get that feel from the black and white screen.
Pebble time in plastic. Just looks outdated. Good thing is the battery and waterproofing. I have the old pebble. It's ok but I would not buy another one. A watch needs touch screen capabilities.
No. You typically can't reply to notifications with some exceptions for Google services (gmail).
I hope this will force Apple to loosen its hold on developers and allow 3rd party watch faces, etc. I will be keeping an eye out for the Moto 360 2 and will most likley buy that one now, I love my Apple Watch but want something I can also wear that has more customization on faces, etc.
*sighs* there are not more styles of android wear watches then apple watches. do some research bruh.
Cite your source, please....
Thx

Apple did not want to allow this. However, the Antitrust Regulators watch everyone these days. It's going to be very interesting to see how Apple addresses this. Could hurt AW sales quite a bit if allowed to continue.
And so does the LG G Watch, I just tried with mine. As long as the watch is running the latest Android Wear, it should be good to go.

Did Apple personally inform you they didn't want to "allow" Android Wear for IOS, or did you just pull this tidbit straight out of your arse? Thought so..
care to back that up with how you came to that conclusion?
Apple watch is essentially 2 styles, based on size, but with varying colour trim. if you want to say each coloured trim is different style, than you go as far as saying Apple has 6 styles.
LG alone makes 3 different styles: a square, a plasticy round, and a 'designer' round. also varying in colour
Sony makes their own square.
Samsung makes a square, a rectangular horizontal and soon a round.
Huawei is going to have their own styled watch out soon™ also to vary in colour
Definitely picking up a Huawei Watch when it's released next month. I love the idea of a smart watch but can't get my arms around the rounded rectangle of the Apple Watch. Taste is subjective obviously, but that's mine. Round watches are classically stylish to me. Anything else is geek chic at best, geek-bad otherwise.
I know I'll have relatively limited functionality as compared to using an Apple Watch. But I'll still have "enough" functionality. For me.

Thanks. No I don't go on Android websites. I'm the guy who keeps telling people it doesn't matter which phone they choose, but gets sick of the people who use #AndroidMasterRace with comments, and who say the iPhone is ****.
