11 new things you can do with your Android Wear smartwatch
If you have one of the Android Wear watches set to receive Android Wear 2.0 (full list in link) over the next few weeks, you're in for a treat. For those who pick up the new LG Watch Sport or LG Watch Style, well, you're in for a treat as well.
Google redesigned the interface and added new features that are aimed directly at competing with the Apple Watch, and giving Android fans a more capable wearable.
Below are 11 tips and tricks to help you get the most out of Android Wear 2.0.

Your watch is now a stand-alone Android device, complete with access to the Play Store. In order to download, update or use Google services and apps on your watch, you'll need to add a Google account to it.
The first time you power on a device running Android Wear 2.0, you will see a prompt asking you to add your Google account to the watch. Adding your account is easy, just follow the prompts in the Android Wear app on your phone.
2. Basic navigation
Android Wear 2.0 still relies heavily on gestures and taps for navigation. However, the functionality of button(s) on the watch will be different for each model of watch. It's a good idea to go through the tutorial after updating your watch. The tutorial will show you which button does what, assuming your device has more than one. If there is only one button, then view it as a home button.
Some basic navigation tips I found useful are:
Swipe from the left-edge of the display to go back one screen.
Swipe down from the tap of the screen to view an app's menu.
The main button on your watch should function as a home button with a quick press, and bring up Assistant with a long-press.

Since your watch no longer relies on your phone, you now have access to a dedicated Android Wear Play Store on your wrist.
First, launch the Play Store and agree to the terms and services. A list of apps with pending updates will show up, followed by a list of apps you have installed on your phone that also offer an Android Wear version. You can search, browse by category and discover apps built specifically for your watch.

Android Wear watchfaces now include complications, giving you an app shortcut or glanceable information without having to actually launch an app.
For example, a complication for the Calendar app puts your next appointment on your watch face at all times. Or you can set Google Fit to constantly show your step total for the day.
Customize complications with a long press on the watchface, then tapping on the icon for each respective complication. Select the app or info you want the complication to represent, then press the home button to save your settings.
The Google Assistant is ready to take your requests from the watch.Jason Cipriani/CNET
Google Assistant, which lets you make voice-based commands is now on Android smartwatches. That means you can get a lot of things done through your watch, without ever touching it.
Long-press the power button on your watch to activate Assistant, and then ask questions or give commands. Swipe up from the bottom of the Assistant screen for suggestions of what you can ask and do with Assistant.
Tailor how Google Assistant functions on your Android Wear watch by opening the Wear app on your phone and tap on the Settings icon. Under the Assistant section, tap on Settings.
6. Quickly change your look
With a quick swipe to the right or left across your watch face you can switch between faces with ease.
It's a quick gesture to switch between, say, a watchface for work, complete with complications that you can use while on the job and another watchface for workouts, encouraging you to run faster.
A swipe up or down on a saved watchface will delete it.
Facebook admitted on Tuesday it did have data sharing partnerships with four Chinese companies, including the world's third largest smartphone manufacturer, Huawei, even though the company was under intense scrutiny from the United States intelligence agencies for security concerns, according to Reuters. The company said Huawei, computer company Lenovo Group, and other smartphone makers OPPO and TCL Corp were among the nearly 60 companies which received access to some user data after signing contracts with Facebook. The New York Times first reported on the practice over the weekend, prompting several members of Congress to raise concerns about the scheme since the data of users' friends could have been accessed without their full, explicit consent. Facebook dismissed those concerns and said the data access was only to allow its users to access specific account features when using mobile devices. The social media giant said more than half the partnerships with corporations hav...
HINCHE, Haiti _ Rain pummeled the ragged dirt highway outside the walled compound of Midwives for Haiti. Inside the non-profit’s headquarters, a handful of staffers and volunteers on a medical mission from Florida thought they were in for the night after a long day providing care. That’s when MFH education director Cindy Siegel’s cell phone rang. It was clinical director Perrine Stock, calling from the rundown public hospital a mile away where women deliver on bare gurneys unless they bring bed sheets, buckets are their only toilets, electricity is sporadic, and the maternity ward lacks running water. A day earlier, a 26-year-old with soaring blood pressure gave birth to a very premature baby that died in delivery. A few hours later the woman suffered a seizure associated with eclampsia _ a major killer of women in Haiti. As her grieving relatives stood vigil outside the ward, her condition worsened.
