Android Wear apps are growing pretty rapidly, and a new app has hit the Play Store that will let you watch YouTube videos right on your wrist. The app is appropriately called Video for Android Wear & YouTube and will stream YouTube videos right to your Android Wear smartwatch. I’m not sure I’d really enjoy watching anything on a tiny watch-sized screen, but hey, options are cool.
In addition to functioning as a YouTube player, the app has a few other tricks up its sleeve. You can cast videos directly from your watch with this, which I could definitely see coming in handy. Find the video you want using its voice-navigated search menus, then quickly cast the video up to your television without ever having to touch your phone. It would be like having a remote control that’s always on your wrist.
Other than that, the app also supports audio playback through Bluetooth-connected speakers. That’s especially important since most Android Wear watches don’t actually have speakers on them, so don’t expect to watch videos exclusively on your watch if you care about sound.
The app is free, and while it seems a bit like a novelty app, it might be worth checking out just to show off at parties.
