News: Android Wear Update Suggests GPS Will Feature In New Models

The latest update for Android Wear (4.4W2) has been launched and with it comes the hint of future GPS functionality.

Although the GPS features don't work, because none of the current crop of watches contain a GPS receiver, the software clearly points to GPS being a feature of future designs.

Whilst GPS is something that consumers have been asking for, allowing it to offer more in a standalone mode, the concern that immediately springs to mind is how this would impact on battery life. The Android watches don't have stellar performance in this area as it is, requiring a daily charge to keep them going. Adding GPS is sure to impact battery life even more.

Still it's a positive move even if it does mean you should hold off on that Moto360 or LG G Watch R purchase for a while longer to see what else is coming!
