Android Wear update for Android 5.1 Lollipop could be coming May 12 - AndroidPIT. Android Wear users with watches that have a WiFi chip are anxiously awaiting the Lollipop (5.1) update promised in April. It's been "a few weeks" and we are all chomping at the bit, in the time honored tradition of running down our batteries checking for the update every five minutes. My clients and colleagues are all asking the question: "What are you doing on your watch?" No, I am not looking at my watch because I am bored with you. I am just addicted to update checking. Once this update comes, we will be able to connect to the world via WiFi even if we leave our phones at home. Can't do that with an Apple Watch.
