I just received my Android Wear upgrade and I love it!

The first thing that struck me is that the application interface much different. It is more Applesque in it's swirl feature for accessing the different application​s. You no longer swipe right to access the application interface but you need to press the watch button to wake the watch and then a second time to open the menu.

Taking your finger and twirling clockwise or  counter-clockwise allows you to scroll through the menu. Then tapping on the app icon will launch your​ chosen application. Running your finger across the watch face from left to right closes the application interface.

From the base screen, sliding your finger from top to bottom opens the settings menu which is quite a bit cleaner than the old version. The five main settings that you may wish to access are all on the same screen so it's very quick and easy to be able to go to act Lee where you want to.

Sliding your finger left to right or right to left on the screen brings up the change watch face menu. I'm not sure why this motion seems so prominent comma I never did spend much time changing my watch faces at all. Though I am sure there are many people that love to change them for whatever occasion that they are currently in.

All in all, my first impression is very positive to the changes in this version. I'm just sorry that I can't take advantage of all the new features of the new operating system since the watch does not have the hardware built-in to be capable of doing some of the things that comes along with the new operating system.
