\"Moto360\"<\/a>Although Google will not directly build the watch themselves, they are working with HTC, LG, Motorola and Samsung.\u00a0 A bit surprised Samsung is working with them given they have their own watch, but there you go.\u00a0 I may have said this before, but I think watches running the Android wearable system will have a leg up on the competition because of the work Google has been doing with Google cards.\u00a0 Given that the integration with Android devices, well at least most of them will be seamless, where I really see the value is what Samsung does not do and that is NOT include the kitchen sink.\u00a0 In other words, Google in known for trying to do only what brings high value and nothing more.\u00a0 Now sometimes they undershoot, but in this case I think the feature and functions they are envisioning for the Android wearable watch is about right. You can see more by looking at the developer preview.<\/a>\u00a0 There you can see animations on how Google envisions cards working on a watch.<\/p>\n
