so with Android wear 2.0 one of the things we've done is we've made watch faces even more useful so any watch face can show data from any app so for example this watch face here I've configured this to show my step count some stock info and my agenda and if I want to get more info about my agenda I just tap right here and it opens up the app we've added new input methods to make messaging even more convenient and quick and so that includes smart reply includes a handwriting and keyboard I'm going to demo handwriting input right now and so if I have a message here from David I can tap and reply and I can actually sketch on the screen and you can see it recognises the letters that I'm sketching and there you go it works it's very quick it's very discreet and convenient now the cool thing about the keyboard input is as powered by Google's machine learning so it can actually be quite smart at predicting what you might want to type next so I'll show that here I'm going to go ahead and reply to this message and I say hey do you want to get dinner so hey do you want to get dinner and look at that as easy as that we've also revamped a lot of the system UX for example we can see as I'm scrolling through my notification stream that these cards have dark backgrounds now which can be better for when you're in avid dark environment but also help save battery life on certain screens we've also revamped the app launcher and we've redesigned it to be natively round since a lot of our watches are around another thing that's an Android 2.0 is we've added automatic activity recognition via the google fit platform so what that means is if I get up and I start running pretty soon if after I start running the watch will automatically detect that it can launch into my preferred fitness app and start tracking my run stats my distance and in pace without me having to manually go launch the app we're also enabling standalone apps to run directly on the watch without relying on the phone so that means for example and this LTE enabled watch that I have here if I'm going on a run I can actually launch Spotify and stream music directly from the cloud everything still works so for example here I'm going to launch Spotify and I'm going to start playing a track and that's actually screaming it directly from the internet you
