Google Announces Cellular Support for Android Wear

Google has just announced that Android Wear now supports cellular connectivity. Your smartwatch (the LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE supports it) will automatically switch to cellular when it is out of range of Bluetooth for your smartphone and WiFi networks. With this feature, users will finally be able to leave their smartphone behind when running an errand or going out for a run.
