Videos On A Watch, Why Not?

<p style="text-align: justify;">If you thought smartphone displays are too small to enjoy videos, then brace yourselves as a new app now enables you to watch YouTube videos on any Android Wear device. An app called Video for Android Wear &amp; YouTube (Yes, that’s the full name) lets users watch videos from YouTube on the tiny displays of their smart watches. It does sounds impractical, but the developers are said to have done a fine job with the app.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The app lets you search for videos via voice and gives all the relevant videos in a list. You can play, pause, seek through the videos and even control the volume. However, Android Wear based smart watches do not come with a built-in speaker so one has to connect a speaker wirelessly via Bluetooth to the watch itself and not to the phone. The app also with options to show the video description, suggest relevant and related videos and (ironically) an option to cast or beam videos on to a larger display or to the Chromecast. Doing so makes the smart watch act as a remote. This is probably the only useful feature of this app as you can quickly search and cast videos right from your wrist.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The app comes right after Apple announced that its new watchOS 2 for the Apple Watch will support video playback. However, how seamless the experience will be is yet to be seen.</p><p><iframe allowfullscreen="" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/o6gyPyBoPAk" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560"></iframe></p>
