Beginner's Guide to Android Wear 2.0

Smartwatches have been around for decades.  Of course, they have evolved over time.  The first digital watch which came out in 1972 was Pulsar manufactured by the Hamilton Watch Company (eventually Pulsar was acquired by Seiko).  In 1980’s, the first computer watch came out – Seiko Data 2000 watch.  Over the years, the watches evolved some more but we will skip those until we get to the modern smartwatches.  It was not until 2014, when both Apple & Google announced smartwatches.  Apple introduced the Apple Watch in 2015 while Google introduced Android Wear which would be a version of Android specifically designed for smartwatches and other wearables.
