"Normal" Apps on Smartwatch?

[Kuroyukii]

Heya, I've ordered a Sony Smart Watch and was wondering, if there's a way to install common Android apps, since it's a normal android OS afaik.

hi, you install apps for the watch via the smartphones playstore. eg endomondo sports pro install on phone, install smartwatch addon and it pushes the app to the watch.

there are heaps of smartwatch apps on the playstore.

cheers

It does not run android, and cannot run apps that aren't built for it

Actually, the apps run on your phone, not on the watch. That's why the connection is needed.

Its not running a normal Android OS afaik. Its running a uC/OS-II OS according to the teardown here: http://www.cmw.me/?q=node/59.

Besides, the battery wouldn't last 5 minutes, and the CPU won't be able to handle it haha.
