Google's Android Wear is reportedly getting its first big update, with features like offline music, Bluetooth headphone and GPS support to help make it more of a standalone device.
That means if users leave their mobile at home while they go out for a jog, they have still got access to their music, and the watch can still tell their location, and how to get home.
The GPS features will work so long as an Android Wear device has the necessary hardware, which means no current shipping Android Wear watch can take advantage of them yet. The first Wear-powered smartwatch coming to market with GPS support is the Sony SmartWatch 3, which is up for pre-order starting today at Verizon's website, and which lists a shipping date of October 30, TechCrunch reported.
Google says it'll start selling the SmartWatch 3 via the Play Devices store soon, too, the report said.
