Google Pixel Buds - Real Time Translation Is Almost Here

The big reason to buy Google Pixel Buds just vanished - SlashGear. I buy and try many types of wireless ear buds; but, I always come back to my LG Infinim necklace wireless headset. It is always around my neck, is comfortable, and I can take calls or call on Google Assistant just by pulling one or both of the retractable buds out and placing them in my ear. However, the Pixel Buds do real time translation (almost) and don't require me to run around saying "OK Google" all the time. I get strange enough looks at the grocery store already. So, I am going to try them, and see whether they will remain around my neck during the day. And, I don't care if I look funny or geeky. I am a Stoic, after all. 

Take That Android Smartwatch Out Of The Drawer - Wear OS 2.1 Is Here

I have been having fun digging out old Android Wear Smartwatches, and seeing how the new version of the software gives them new life. I have installed Wear OS 2.1 on my LG Watch Urbane watches, 2 of which have LTE chips, and I am now wearing the AT&T version. It gives me full access to the Google ecosystem, and swiping left brings up Google Now like information. A long press brings up Google Assistant, and it works just like an Android phone. Ask any of a million questions, and get quick answers. I have linked the phone number on the watch to my Google voice number, so I have the option to take calls on the watch, just like my Galaxy Watch from Samsung. Swipe up and all my notifications appear, from texts, to emails, to facebook notifications, and any other app that I have installed on my phone. Swipe right, and a full functioning Fitness app appears, with heart rate, steps, and more appears. Swipe down for all the Settings you need, from screen brightness to WiFi settings. Watch this short video of the Wear OS update that aired when it was announced. I also have installed the new version on Jacquelyn's Michael Kors designer Rose Gold Access watch for Ariana to use. The new version meshes well with iPhones, so you don't have to settle for a tiny rectangular box from Apple. Get your wrist computer geek on, and learn how these amazing little devices can change your day.

LG Watch Urbane LTE With Wear OS 2.1 - Everything Old Is New Again

Amazon.com: LG Urbane 2nd Edition LTE LG-W200A Black Unlocked GSM: Cell Phones & Accessories. Before I fell in love with the Samsung Galaxy Smartwatches, and the Tizen OS, I bought a few Android Wear OS watches. I hated the Wear OS, which was clunky on a watch interface, and clearly not designed for small screens. But, when the LTE version came out, I was first in line over a year ago; and, since I was on Verizon at the time, I ordered it online. But, true to form, Verizon didn't ship on D Day, so I went to my local AT&T store, and got one there. Later, Verizon mailed its version, which I connected to my Verizon account, and planned to install for SWMBO; but, she thought is was too big and clunky, and she didn't really need a watch phone. So, for a while I had two functioning Urbane LTE watches. I didn't use them much, so I cancelled them, and put them in the box with the rest of the misfit toys. Then, this week, Google finally got a decent version of Wear OS out, and the true benefit of Smartwatches was realized. I went back to AT&T; but, I brought the Verizon watch by mistake. After a quick trip home, I got the AT&T version installed, and a new Nano-SIM put in. Now, I am back to choosing each day between two competent LTE enabled Smartwatches. But, I may start wearing one on each wrist again. I like being the only kid on the block wearing two Smartwatches. Life is short. Get a Smartwatch. (BTW, thanks to the knowledgeable staff at the St. Petersburg AT&T store on U.S. 19 and 11th Ave. North.)Oh, and did I mention that you can buy one of these for around $150 now, and activate them on your current wireless account for $10 a month? It's like putting a brand new crate engine in a 25 year old car. Zoom, zoom.

LG's Watch W7 - Man Sized And Real Watch Hands

LG's Watch W7 Puts Mechanical Hands on a Touch Screen. The new LG Watch G7 is a touch screen Smartwatch with a twist. It has real watch hands, and a mechanical interior that tells time. The processor is left to do wrist computer stuff. The coolest feature is a button that moves the display up and down so you can read text around the watch hands. Check out the GIF attached. I would be doing this all day long. Innovation in Smartwatches. Who knew?

Wear OS 2.1: Finally Worthy Of The LG Watch Urbane Luxe

Wear OS 2.1: New swipe gestures, better watch UX [Video] - 9to5Google. I love the 23 K Gold Watch Urbane Luxe from LG. It is the perfect complement to my Galaxy Watch. Wear OS, however, has been clunky and unusable from the start, and I left my pretty watch in its box for the past year or so. Yesterday, however, I dusted it off, and left it in the charger at work for a day. When I looked at it in the afternoon, it had an upgrade prompt for the new Wear OS 2.1, and I installed it. What a difference. Now, just like my Android phone, if you swipe left, Google Assistant gives you your daily notifications, from travel time to the office, to the weather, to the sports scores you are interested in, the daily calendar, and so forth. Swipe up, and texts, notifications, and news briefs pop up and can be read in full with a tap. Swipe right, and fitness measurements are all available on one screen, from steps to other fitness measurements. Swipe down, and the Settings, and watch controls are all available. Unlike the Galaxy Watch, Google Assistant can be called with an "OK Google", and the entire world of information is now available on the watch via voice command. It will now be a matter of mood which Smartwatch accompanies me on my day. Or, Deion Sanders like, I might just wear one on each wrist. You can never be too rich, too thin, or wear too many wrist computers.

Futorum Watch Faces - Ask Me Again What You Can Do With A Smartwatch

Everytime someone asks me what a Smartwatch can do, I tell them about getting texts, emails, phone calls, heart rate monitor, step counter, news, weather and sports, and many other functions. However, how about the ability to change and install new watch faces in an infinite array, depending on your mood. Then, there are the watch faces that, with a double tap, tell you the hour, day and time, the weather forecast, act as a flashlight, barometer, sunrise time, sunset time, day duration, moon phase, moon age,current zodiac sign, number of steps, distance moved, GPS coordinates, and more. Now, if they can create a watch face that will speak Stoic affirmations to me, I will be a happy camper.

 

Totally Useless Ways To Pass The Time With A Galaxy Smartwatch

I am always being asked about whether a Smartwatch is useful to practicing lawyers. Well, if getting vibrating reminders on your wrist of texts, emails, phone calls, the weather, sports updates, news updates, your heart rate, and a dozen other useful things would make your day more productive and enjoyable, then get a Smartwatch. But, the real reason to get a Smartwatch is to play useless shooter games in which you shoot down alien ships coming to invade our planet. Save the world. Get a Smartwatch. UFO Killer. Don't bother to click link unless you have a Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch. It won't work, Apple lover. 

Google Wear OS Update Will Make Me Use Wear OS Again

Google Wear OS update with improved UI rolling out now | Android and Me. I have been using my Galaxy Watch recently, and the Gear S3 before that. It seemed wasteful, because I have an LG watch that is 23 karat gold sitting in a box among my lesser Smartwatches, unused. I hate the Wear OS interface, and find Tizen much easier to use. However, the update mentioned in this article is all about swiping to change screens and perform tasks. I will be installing it to see. My LG is the most expensive Smartwatch to date, retailing at around $1,200. No, I didn't pay that for the watch, not even close. However, I did want a gold watch, since my solo practice made it necessary that I buy my own. So, there is that. Now, somebody go tell me what time it is.

Casio WSD-F30 - New Wear OS Smartwatch - Big Price

Casio WSD-F30 announced with better battery life and rugged design | Android and Me. This new Smartwatch definitely has a Casio vibe; but, will you buy it? It is a Wear OS watch, which is on every new Wear watch out there. But, the word it that the price will be $549, which is $150 more than a Tizen OS watch from Samsung. Why pay more? I suppose you could say "because it is a Casio". Or not.
