Today during io16 Google announced Android wear version 2.0. This update will allow users to perform functions directly on the watch without the use of a phone. Google promises the ability to reply to texts and stream music directly from your watch. This means Spotify can now launch right from your watch face without your phone.
Google has implemented something called Smart Reply which promises to have your watch know the context of your messages as you're replying to them, thanks to Google Machine learning. You can also do things like use your finger to scribble down a quick text message reply.
A preview of Android Wear 2.0 is currently available for download to developers, and set to be ready for final release in the fall.
