Android Wear is a version of Google's Android operating system designed for smartwatches and other wearables.[8][9] By pairing with mobile phones running Android version 4.3 or newer, or iOS version 8.2 or newer with limited support from Google's pairing application,[10] Android Wear integrates Google Now[11] technology and mobile notifications into a smartwatch form factor. It also adds the ability to download applications from the Google Play Store. Google's estimated development costs are $100,000,000.[citation needed]
Android Wear supports both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
connectivity, as well as a range of features and applications. Watch
face styles include round, square and rectangular. Released devices
include Motorola Moto 360,[12] the LG G Watch,[13] and the Samsung Gear Live.[14] Hardware manufacturing partners include ASUS, Broadcom, Fossil, HTC, Intel, LG, MediaTek, Imagination Technologies, Motorola, Qualcomm, Samsung and TAG Heuer.[15]
In the first six months of availability, Canalys estimates that over 720,000 Android Wear smartwatches were shipped.[16] As of 15 May 2015, Android Wear had between one and five million application installations.[17]
