> Today, Android Wear for iOS works with the LG Watch Urbane. All future Android Wear watches, including those from Huawei (pictured above), Asus, and Motorola will also support iOS, so stay tuned for more.

It's unfortunate it won't work with older Android Wear watches like, say the Moto 360. But I'm glad it finally happened; almost every year I switch back and forth between an iPhone and an Android and was a little sad that my Moto 360 would no longer be my companion with my iPhone 6+.

Edit: Looks like it the older ones work as long as you update it via an Android phone first. Nice!

I wonder how well Android Wear supports iOS features compared to the Apple Watch. For example, replying to text messages, receiving notifications, etc. Is there any info on this?

Or on the flip side, how well iOS supports Android Wear features, especially since AW apps are packaged as components of Android apps.
