Android 5.0 for Android Wear rolling out and yes, you’ll need it to enjoy the new watchfaces

After the official Google blog announced the availability of new Android Wear watchfaces in the Google Play Store, there was still a little confusion on exactly what users needed to take advantage of them. It’s not as simple as downloading the new watchfaces already available on Google Play (and receiving a barrage of 1-star reviews because nobody can actually use them).


As we suspected, your Android Wear device (LG G Watch, Moto 360, ASUS ZenWatch) will need to be updated to Android 5.0 — rolling out over the next few days — before you can enjoy the new watchfaces on Google Play. But that’s only half of it. You’ll also need the new updated Android Wear companion app, not yet available on Google Play.


Seems Google may have jumped the gun a bit when it came to the announcement post, but we’re assuming updates to both Android Wear devices and the application will be available very shortly. Hold off on those 1-start reviews for now.
