Thanks to Android Police tipster Kevin, there is now official confirmation that Android Wear 5.1.1 is rolling out to the LG G Watch and G Watch R.
The update brings with it many new meaningful improvements. There are now more gestures for accessing apps and contacts, and heads-up notifications. Users can now even draw emojis on the screen. Android Wear 5.1.1 does come with Wi-Fi support, but unfortunately the two smartwatches don’t have it in this update.
LG’s G Watch just doesn’t have the hardware to support Wi-Fi. However, the G Watch R does, and its puzzling as to why it didn’t get in this update. Either way, we’ll probably see it show up somewhere down the line–hopefully sooner than later.
As with all updates, they roll out in stages. That said, there will only be a select few of you that see the update right away. As for everyone else, despite your G Watch saying its up to date, it’ll take a number of days or even weeks for it to get to you.
Do you have one of LG’s G Watches? Which one are you sporting? Let us know in the comments!
