I didn’t get the opportunity to see these apps at work, but Apple made a similar move with its second version of watchOS and it did manage to speed everything up no end. In addition, LTE/4G data-connected watches – the LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition, for instance – will be able to get online and use these apps even when there isn’t Wi-Fi available. For example, a Spotify app could let you download music directly to the watch, with no input from your Nexus 6P at all. Now, they’ll run on the watch alone, with no need for a constant connection to your phone.
