ABOUT ANDROID WEAR

New to Android Wear FAQS

Here are answers to some questions you may have about your new watch.

Do I need to download apps on my watch?

No, your favorite apps on your phone will work with Android Wear automatically. You do not need to download a whole new set of apps.

Do I need to install new apps on my phone for it to work with my watch?

You'll just install the Android Wear app on your phone to connect it to your watch and manage your watch's settings.

What phones work with Android Wear?

You need an Android phone running Android 4.3 or higher that supports Bluetooth.

To find out whether your phone supports Android Wear, visit g.co/WearCheck from your phone.

What version of Android do I need?

You need an Android phone running Android 4.3 or higher.

To find out whether your phone supports Android Wear, visit g.co/WearCheck from your phone.

How far can my watch be from my phone?

Keep your watch within a few feet of your phone. The exact distance will vary by phone and watch.

Does the watch make any sounds? Will the watch speak back to me?

Your watch won’t make any sounds or speak back to you.

Your watch may vibrate for notifications, and it uses the notification settings you have for each app on your phone. If your phone vibrates or makes a sound for a notification, your watch will vibrate. If your phone doesn't make a sound or vibrate, you'll still see a card on your watch, without a vibration.

You can always mute your watch to turn off vibrations for all notifications. Learn more about managing your notifications.

How do I control the cards that show up on my watch?

You can choose which cards and notifications show up on your watch by changing your notification settings and Google Now settings.

Why do I need a phone to use my watch?

Your watch gets access to the Internet through your phone or tablet. Without being paired, you won't be able to use most of Android Wear's features.

It’s also easier to manage many settings for your watch on your phone.

What can my watch do if I'm not near my phone?

If you step away from your phone, you can still use some features on your watch. Learn about what works when your watch isn’t paired.

What happens when I remove a notification or card on my watch? Will it still show up on my phone?

If you remove a card on your watch, the same card or notification will be dismissed on your phone. If you remove a notification from your phone, it will be dismissed on your watch.

Can I visit websites on the watch?

You won’t be able to visit websites on your watch. Instead, you’ll see an option to open on your phone.

Can I type on the watch?

No. You’ll use your voice to reply, search, or do tasks.

Can I use my watch with a tablet?

Yes, you can pair your watch with a tablet, but phones are recommended.

Pair your watch with your phone

Your watch is meant to work together with your Android phone, so you'll need to pair them.

If you’re pairing your watch for the first time, make sure your phone is connected to mobile data or Wi-Fi. You need a data connection to complete setup. You should also keep the watch connected to power during setup.

Here’s how to pair:

1Turn on your watch, and make sure it is within a few feet of your phone.

2Download and install the Android Wear app on your phone.

•You can also search for “Android Wear” on Google Play.

3Open the Android Wear app on your phone and follow the onscreen instructions. You'll be able to turn on Bluetooth during set up, if it isn't already on.

4On your phone, you’ll see a list of nearby devices. Touch your watch’s name.

•You can check the name of your watch on its screen.

5You’ll see a pairing code on your phone and watch. Check that the codes match.

6Touch Pair on your phone, then touch Pair on your watch. Make sure to touch both screens. You’ll see a confirmation message once your watch is paired. This can take a few minutes, so please be patient.

•Possible software update: Depending on when you bought your watch, your watch may automatically download and install an update after you pair with a phone for the first time. Your watch will automatically restart after updating itself.

7On your phone, follow the onscreen instructions to turn on watch notifications.

8You’re all done, but we recommend turning on Google Now & Location to have the best Android Wear

experience. See more details below.

Follow the tutorial on your watch to get started, or learn how to get around your watch.

Features you should turn on

To have the best Android Wear experience, we recommend turning on Google Now and Location. You need to turn on these features using your phone or tablet, if they aren’t already on. For the best experience,we also recommend keeping contact recognition turned on. This feature was turned on when you set up the Android Wear app. You can always turn contact recognition off through the Google Search app.

•Turn on Google Now for info when you need it without searching. For example, see today’s weather, check your flight status, and find out if there’s traffic on the way to work.

•Turn on Location for navigation, local suggestions (like restaurants and traffic), and more.

•Turn on contact recognition to call, text, or email contacts.

Different ways to pair your watch

You can pair your watch with only one phone or tablet at a time. If you have more than one phone or tablet you want to pair your watch with, or if you have more than one watch, here are some things to keep in mind:

If you have one watch and multiple phones or tablets:

•You can’t pair one watch with multiple phones or tablets at the same time.

•You can switch which phone or tablet your watch is paired with, but you need to reset your watch to factory settings first. Then you can pair your watch to the new phone or tablet.

If you have multiple watches and one phone or tablet:

•Your phone or tablet can be paired with different watches, but only one at a time.

•You can use your Android Wear app to change the watch that’s paired. To switch watches:

1Make sure the watch you’re pairing with is powered on.

2On your phone, open the Android Wear app .

3On the top right of the screen, touch menu > Pair with a new wearable.

4Touch the name of the watch you’d like to pair.

Get to know your watch

On your watch, you’ll see cards that give you useful information when you need it. You can also get answers to questions and do everyday tasks using your voice.

Useful info when you need it through cards

The information you need will conveniently appear as cards on your watch. Wondering about your morning commute? Just check your watch. Your friend just texted you? You’ll see the message. Curious how much you’ve walked today? You’ll see your daily step count. You can scroll through the cards, see more details, and dismiss cards when you’re done.

SET UP ANDROID WEAR

Ask questions & do everyday tasks with voice

You can also search and do a variety of tasks on your watch using just your voice. Just say “Ok Google” or touch the watch face, and you can ask questions (“How tall is the Empire State Building?”), set reminders (“Remind me to call mom tonight”), and more.

Use apps already on your phone

You’ll need to download the Android Wear app to connect your watch and phone, and to manage your watch’s settings.

Once you’ve done this, your favorite apps will work with Android Wear automatically, and you won’t need to download a whole new set of apps.

Choose what shows up on your watch

You can choose which cards and notifications show up on your watch by changing your notification settings and Google Now settings.

Getting around on your watch

Get started using your watch by navigating cards and using your voice to get answers and to do everyday tasks. Here's how:

1. Start on your watch face (where you see the time)

Start by waking up your watch. If your watch’s screen is dimmed, you can wake up the watch by:

•Touching the screen.

•Turning your wrist so your watch face is upright.

•Pressing a button on the watch (if it has one).

Quickly dim the screen: Press your palm onto the screen until it vibrates. This will bring you back to the watch face.

Change the watch face: Touch and hold anywhere on the background of the home screen for two seconds. Swipe to the right or left to browse the designs, then touch to choose one.
