Why i bought a smartwatch.....

A few months ago I bought a smart watch. Yes I am super geeky and love new tech but I had a reason for this purchase.

As I drive trucks for a job picking up and replying to texts is illegal and only being able to text when I was stopped was not always working so I bought the Asus Zenwatch 2 due to the fact I could read a text coming in and then reply by speaking to the watch so never having to touch my phone at all.
So far this has worked so well and I love using my smart watch and being able to check the emails and texts that come in without picking up the phone.
Another reason I went with the Asus Zenwatch 2 is that it has a built in speaker in it which up to now has not been used but with the new Marshmallow update coming to Android Wear in the next week or so the speaker will be able to be used so now my texts and emails will be read out to me and then I voice my reply so no need to look at a screen at all now.
Simple things making my life just a little bit easier.
There is also a few new gestures as well that should make things easier to navigate the watch without even touching it.

Bring on the Marshmallow.

Just need to update my phone now to a Nexus phone and then wait for Google VR and a Google version of the new Amazon Echo.
