Features you should turn on
To have the best Android Wear experience, we recommend turning on Google Now and Location. You need to turn on these features using your phone or tablet, if they arent already on. For the best experience,we also recommend keeping contact recognition turned on. This feature was turned on when you set up the Android Wear app. You can always turn contact recognition off through the Google Search app.
- Turn on Google Now for info when you need it without searching. For example, see todays weather, check your flight status, and find out if theres traffic on the way to work.
- Turn on Location for navigation, local suggestions (like restaurants and traffic), and more.
- Turn on contact recognition to call, text, or email contacts.

You can pair your watch with only one phone or tablet at a time. If you have more than one phone or tablet you want to pair your watch with, or if you have more than one watch, here are some things to keep in mind:

If you have multiple watches and one phone or tablet:
- Your phone or tablet can be paired with different watches, but only one at a time.
