With the ability to enable music storage on smartwatch recently, this feature is very useful to inform users how much storage space they have.Debugging features via Bluetooth are also brought back on this new version.
In addition to allowing users to customize the default skins available on smartwatch lines, users can now install 3rd party apps to be able to change the new interface to their preferences. Not only that, the new interface on the screen will bring more possibilities for users to adjust thanks to the settings menu.
