Google today (April 20) announced a new update to its wearable platform that enables Wi-Fi support, making Android Wear watches less dependent on a smartphone connection. In addition to Wi-Fi capability, the latest OS adds new gestures and navigation, such as flicking your wrist to scroll through the screen and tapping the watch face to launch apps and send messages. The new Android Wear will also let you draw emoji on the screen to add in your replies, and support always-on apps so the display never dims while you're navigating to your friend's house or crafting your reply to a message.
